My colleague Catherine Macrae writes there will be something of the "French Touch" - by way of Florida - next week at Royal Ascot, as Patrick Biancone prepares to run Celtic Dispute in the Queen Mary. Went close with Lennilu in the same race 12 months ago.

Looking forward to the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby on Sunday. Following events at Epsom, the mile and a half division among the 3yo colts is, in the words of Brian Moore "all up for grabs."
Raaheeb definitely adds to the race, as my colleague Liam Headd reports.

The rest of the family have just got into a taxi to take them off on their travels down south. Leaving me home alone for the rest of the weekend. 20 years ago I'd be planning all sort of crazy nonsense in their absence but now I'm just thinking about cooking a slightly complicated risotto.
