The three-time Royal Ascot and Classic-winning trainer talks us through his Royal Ascot squad. George Boughey has yet to open his Group account at Royal Ascot but is hoping that statistic can be erased in the King Charles III Stakes on the opening day when Believing looks to take her exalted career to new heights.  Now owned by the Coolmore juggernaut, Believing made the perfect start under that banner when landing the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan in April, beating Win Carnation three quarters of a length and, in foal to Frankel, is likely to be having one if not her last races before enjoying motherhood.  The Classic-winning Newmarket outfit have struck three times in the past at the Royal meeting with Soprano taking the Sandringham Handicap last year along with previous successes for Inver Park and Missed The Cut.  Looking forward to the week ahead, Boughey kindly spoke to Tony Elves for attheraces.com about his prospects for the meeting.    Older Horses  BELIEVING  Reporter comment: Winner of seven of her 25 starts and currently rated 112. Ran consistently well in top division sprints last season and got back on the scoresheet in fine fashion in the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan (6f) on her reappearance in April when beating Win Carnelian three quarters of a length.  Trainer quote: She is in cracking form and I couldn’t be much happier with her. She has been very solid since winning the Al Qouz Sprint in Dubai and I think she deserves her place at the top of the market for the King Charles III Stakes. A stiff five furlongs will probably suit her well and she goes there in tip top condition. I think she is better than she was last year and she has become much more straightforward.  OLIVER SHOW  Winner of four of his 17 starts and currently rated 99. Finished runner-up, beaten a nose, to Godwinson in the Lincoln Handicap at Doncaster (1m) in March off a mark of 95.  He will have an entry in the Buckingham Palace as well as the Hunt Cup and the preference would be the Buckingham Palace at the moment. He was very unlucky in the Lincoln after spending the winter in Bahrain and was the winner with five yards to go. He was chinned on the line and is a strong travelling horse and I think he will impress in whichever race he goes for.  SOPRANO  Winner of four of her 16 starts and currently rated 111. Made a winning reappearance in the Listed Snowdrop Fillies’ Stakes at Kempton (1m) in March when accounting for Crimson Advocate by a nose.  She will run in the Duke of Cambridge all being well - this has been the plan for a long time and the fillies’ programme doesn’t really lend itself to the first half of the year. She was very good at Kempton and the Gosden horse that finished second came out and won at Goodwood afterwards. She was placed in the Albany and won the Sandringham last year and the Valiant as well, at Ascot so we know she likes the track. She is a Group 1-placed filly and she goes there with every chance.  SPANGLED MAC  Winner of eight of his 32 starts and currently rated 95. Finished fifth, beaten five lengths, to Ferrous in a handicap at Southwell (6f) in April off a mark of 96.  He will have an entry in the Buckingham Palace and the Wokingham. We will see how he goes but he will run in one of them. He is a horse who is quite hard to get right but is always so consistent. He is training well going into Ascot.  Three-Year-Olds  BOUNTIFUL  Winner of two of her five starts and currently rated 97. Finished third, beaten four lengths, to Rebel’s Gamble in a Listed event at Lingfield (7f) in March.  Bountiful is going for the Sandringham and she steps up to a mile for a first time. Being out of a May Hill winner who ran over ten and twelve furlongs it wouldn’t be a surprise if we saw her in a better light. She is a Listed-placed filly who ran well in the Spring Cup at Lingfield and this has been the plan for a while. We won the race last year with Soprano and we would be looking forward to giving it our best shot this year.  DANTE’S LAD  Winner of two of his seven starts and currently rated 89. Returned to winning form in a handicap at York (1m 2½f) at the end of May when scoring by half a length from Urban Glimpse off a mark of 87.  He was a good winner at York when stepping up to ten furlongs for the first time and he will have an entry in the Golden Gates and the King George V Handicap. He is by Wootton Bassett out of a mare called Bewitched who has produced two Stakes performers over a mile and half so stamina is really starting to come into his racing style. He will be in the London Sale on the Monday before Royal Ascot and I think he is a very progressive horse.  EL BURHAN  Winner of three of his five starts and currently rated 95. Made a winning reappearance at Chester (7½f) in May when beating God of War a neck off a mark of 93.  El Burhan is in the Britannia and the Golden Gates and he is a horse who though he is rated 95 has not quite had his ideal conditions yet. He needs a strong pace and a galloping track either over a mile or a mile and quarter. He pleased me at Chester and I think truly run handicap can play to his strengths. It will be a late decision which race he goes for but whichever race it is I think he can be competitive.  ENGLEMERE  Winner of three of her 12 starts and currently rated 90. Finished sixth, beaten five and a half lengths, to Lady With The Lamp in a Listed Fillies’ at Chelmsford (6f) in May. She goes for the Palace Of Holyrood House over five furlongs. Her work has always been very good and she won the Listed St Hughes Stakes last year. She might have the application of some headgear and I think she can be in the mix if drawing around the right horses.  Two-Year-Olds  AWAKEN  Finished runner-up, beaten half a length, to Gold Digger in a maiden fillies’ at Yarmouth (6f) in May.  She came up against a well-regarded filly of Richard Spencer’s (Gold Digger) when runner-up on her debut at Yarmouth in May and the form has been boosted with the third and fourth (America and Nandita) winning since. She goes for the Albany and she has been in good form at home since her run.  HEY TRU BLUE  Finished runner-up, beaten a length and a quarter, to Rock On Thunder in a maiden at Leicester (6f) in May. He ran very well on is debut at Leicester behind a good horse of Kevin Ryan’s. The rain that fell a few hours before the race certainly didn’t help him and he is a horse that has always shown up well and he will take up an entry in the Norfolk Stakes or the Coventry; at the moment the preference would be for the Norfolk. He is owned by a big group of Australians who are over for the meeting and they are looking forward to seeing him run.  VIAMARIE  Made a winning debut in a novice fillies’ at Kempton (5f) in April when scoring by two lengths from Very Mindful.  She will have an entry in the Queen Mary and the Albany and we will have a look and make a decision. She was a good winner on her debut and I have been pleased with her work since. She would have an each-way chance if she gets there in the same form she showed in April.
