Ruby Walsh: Plenty can pounce on any Auguste Rodin weakness 

I can't put him forward as the choice to get some spending money for Galway and would prefer Bluestocking as the each-way alternative, but at 1.50, Simmering should collect in Ascot's Princess Margaret Stakes.

At least some things are still the same, and this afternoon, on the run into Galway race week, it's King George Day at Ascot. 

I can remember stopping in Tullamore, year after year in my youth as we tracked west for race week, so Dad could watch the Ascot showpiece long before it was available on your phone.
