Race preview
The unbeaten RAAMMEE has Royal Ascot potential and this will give his connections a good idea as to whether his Royal Hunt Cup entry will be his next step. The son of Persian King readily built on his successful Kempton debut when he won by 12 lengths at Newcastle. The absence since September is the only concern and any negativity in the betting would bring in the consistent Saytarr and Hickory as others to seriously consider.
