2022 Hardwicke Stakes Tips
Hurricane Lane is set to make his seasonal debut at the 2022 Royal Ascot meeting and it will be intriguing to see if the four-year-old can continue the excellent form which was apparent last season.
The horse has already achieved six wins during a relatively short career and Godolphin decided to send him to Longchamp last autumn where he competed favourably in the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe where Hurricane Lane finished in third place.
The runner was sent off as the 3/1 favourite and found shock winner Torquator Tasso and Tarnawa as the only horses who were too strong, with the horse previously triumphing in the Cazoo St Leger Stakes and it explains why the runner is heading the Royal Ascot betting for this clash.
This runner has bags of experience and that includes finishing third in the 2021 Derby, while the horse went on to win the Irish Derby. There was also a trip to Longchamp where the 17/10 favourite won the Grand Prix de Paris.
However, Bay Bridge is set to prove some stiff competition and the four-year-old has now racked up five consecutive wins in total. In the Coral Brigadier Gerard Stakes, the runner was able to oblige against favourite Mostahdaf and it was a convincing five-length win.
