Sean Levey Royal Ascot day four rides blog: 'We're hoping that sees her run a big race'

Sean Levey has shared his latest blog with Ladbrokes' horse racing fans and this time it's a big one, with the leading jockey previewing his action on day four of Royal Ascot.

Tahalel is a beautiful filly. She ran for the first time at Haydock last month and came second behind a very nice horse of Hugo Palmer’s, Fitzella, who’s one of the favourites for this race. The form has really worked out – the third horse, Bella Lyra went and won at Windsor, and even the fourth horse, Killavia, has been placed since, coming second to an odds-on favourite at Sandown. So there’s plenty of form there, and we’re hoping that sees her run a big race.

Crystal Flyer is a reserve again, and to be honest, I don’t think she’ll get in. She’s very straightforward and has no doubt improved this year, and it would be nice for her to get in on the back of her win at Southwell.

Silver Ghost is a really nice filly who does things the right way. She’s a drop-in horse, which will suit Ascot. I think this is the perfect race for her on the back of winning so impressively at Goodwood. She’s probably my biggest chance of the day.

He’ll run his race, and he’s got a nice weight on his back – and Ascot always favours horses that carry light weights, it being as stiff as it is. He ran a blinder at Epsom last time out, coming second, and he’s stepping up with every run. Hopefully he can take another massive step forward here. If he does, he won’t be far away.
