2024 Queen Anne Stakes Ante-Post Tip - Inspiral
At the ante-post stage, I tipped INSPIRAL up at 5/1, anticipating a crash in the market. That's exactly what happened and the best price you could have found on the market leader on Thursday was 5/2.
However, John Gosden threw a spanner in the works on Friday when claiming Inspiral will be stepped up in trip for the Prince Of Wales's Stakes. With rain in the forecast, there's still a chance that Inspiral will remain over a mile in the Queen Anne, but this change of plan has forced me to look for an alternative selection.
2024 Queen Anne Stakes Value Bet - Brave Emperor
Given the size of the field that'll likely be confirmed, there's plenty of scope for an each-way wager. Dolayli could be a big player dropping back to a mile, while any further easing in the ground would bring Poker Face's stamina to the fore.
Another who wouldn't mind some juice in the ground is BRAVE EMPEROR (50/1), who'll be having his first run back on British soil since finishing down the field in the Hampton Court Stakes at this meeting last year.
Since then, Archie Watson's four-year-old has landed several big prizes around the world. Brave Emperor claimed Group Threes over a mile in France and Germany, before putting Poker Face to the sword with a four-length romp in a Group Two at the San Siro.
With Luke Morris in the saddle, Brave Emperor made a winning start to 2024 in a valuable contest out in Doha, before a slow start ruined his chances in the Champions Mile in Hong Kong. Watson then tried his star over a mile-and-a-quarter again in the Prix d'Ispahan, but the trip - like it did in the Hampton Court Stakes - sapped too much of his stamina.
A mile is clearly Brave Emperor's best trip and good-to-soft ground would be ideal. Archie Watson is no stranger to success at the Royal Meeting and he feels like this improving four-year-old is up to Group One level.

Verdict
With Inspiral now unlikely to run in this year's Queen Anne Stakes, I fancy an outside punt on Brave Emperor at 50/1.
