DOUBLE: J J The Jet Plane and Tyrrells Wood.

J J The Jet Plane can crown a terrific week for overseas raiders at Royal Ascot by winning the Golden Jubilee Stakes for South African Mike de Kock.

There is no debate over the fact British sprinters are some way behind those from the rest of the world and it has once again been proved this year.

The Australian Scenic Blast was a very impressive winner of the King's Stand Stakes on Tuesday, making it a fourth victory in seven years for our Antipodean friends in that contest.

Throw into the mix Wesley Ward's unbelievable exploits with his speedy team of juveniles and Vision D'Etat's win in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes, and you have a fantastic meeting for the foreigners.

There is no doubt their success adds to the meeting but a more regular visitor to these shores is De Kock, who continues to break down barriers worldwide with his exploits.

His is now a familiar figure at every major meeting on the globe and his exploits in Dubai are legendary.

J J The Jet Plane, named after a children's television character, is a pure rags to riches story.

The only time he has disappointed came on dirt in Dubai but returned to turf for a Group Three he redeemed his reputation.

He has only raced in Britain once, sluicing up at Windsor in a Listed event giving upwards of 3lb away to every rival.

It was an ominous display and when De Kock stated he was nowhere near 100% fit it does not bode well for the rest.

Ward's Cannonball, noted staying on at the end of the King's Stand, and King's Apostle can give him most to do.

The Hardwicke Stakes looks down on class this year so William Muir's Enroller must have every chance.

Muir has not enjoyed the best of seasons and has been dogged by problems but the victory of Nemo Spirit at York last week suggests there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Enroller won the John Porter earlier in the season, beating some solid yardsticks into the bargain, and if Muir has him at his peak he sets a fair standard.

The Chesham Stakes is often won by one of the less-fancied runners and this year Johnny Portman's Meglio Ancora could fit that bill.

Already a gelding and by the unfashionable sire Best Of The Bests, he was sent off an unconsidered 16/1 chance for his debut at Newbury but there was no fluke in his success.

The runner-up, Michael Jarvis' Alrasm, bolted up next time out at Doncaster and took his chance in Tuesday's Coventry Stakes.

Clive Cox is enjoying a great season and his Jimmy Styles could be a blot on the handicap in the Wokingham.

Just as Forgotten Voice proved in the Hunt Cup, unexposed, improving younger horses can prevail in these ultra-competitive handicaps.

He has only had 10 starts in his life and needed the 5lb penalty he picked up for a recent win at Newmarket to ensure a run.

The handicapper was more severe though and raised him 6lb so effectively he is still well-in.

Hatton Flight has been a prolific winner so far throughout his career but his biggest success may still be to come in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes.

A nine-time winner, he is looking to make it four in a row and the handicapper is really struggling to keep tabs on him.

The marathon Queen Alexandra Stakes traditionally closes the meeting where Terry Mills' Tyrrells Wood should take some stopping.

He won as he liked at Pontefract on his last start and this race was mentioned minutes after he crossed the line.

Brian Meehan's Africa Art could be a handicap blot in Ayr's Scottish Sun Handicap while Karl Burke's Captain Ellis should take the beating Haydock's Racing UK £12.99 Per Month Handicap.

Sir Michael Stoute's Strictly won with more in hand than the official margin suggests last time and can land Newmarket's Intercasino.co.uk VIP Gold Club Handicap, and Tom Dascombe's Coloursoftheglen can win Lingfield's Edenbridge Maiden Auction Stakes.

Best bet at Redcar could be Bryan Smart's Excellent Show in the H Jarvis 131st Anniversary Handicap.
