In an exclusive Northern Echo SPORT interview Middleham maestro Mark Johnston raved about ATTRACTION ( ) which obliged in the Gr 3 Queen Mary Stakes and PEARL OF LOVE (11-10) which came hom in the Listed Chesham Stakes.
Here's what Mark had to say about the pick of his Royal Ascot raiders today
2.30 Gr3 Norfolk Stakes (5f)
I'm very excited about RUSSIAN VALOUR. He showed tremendous speed to win at Sandown and being such a big mature two-year-old we're making with him hay while the sun shines.
4.20 King George V Handicap (1m 4f)
FANTASTIC LOVE has always been our number one choice for this race - he's been aimed at the contest all along.
4.55 Listed Hampton Court Stakes (1m 2f)
JEBEL SURAAJ won a valuable three-year-old handicap at Sandown last time out and his form is very progressive.
