Fellowes has sights set on Royal Ascot magic from The Wizard Of Eye
But target at the showpiece meeting yet to be decided.
The Wizard Of Eye has Royal Ascot on his agenda after a taking Victoria Cup display. The chestnut was running for the first time since switching yards, leaving Stan Moore to join Charlie Fellowes’ stable and also undergoing a gelding procedure. Prior to that he had shown plenty of ability in previous runs, going close when third in the Group Three Prix Francois Boutin as a juvenile and finishing second in the Bonhams Thoroughbred Stakes at Goodwood in 2022. He is also a Listed winner after claiming the Hyde Stakes over a mile at Kempton during the same year, though prior to Saturday he had not won since. Under Tom Marquand at Ascot he was a 7-1 chance in the Victoria Cup, a 21-runner handicap worth over GBP 50,000 to the winner and run over seven furlongs.The Victoria Cup certainly had its drama!

🪄Once again @FellowesRacing weaved his magic!
Last week on @bridlepodcast he tipped one horse to follow, THE WIZARD OF EYE (7/1) who landed a GBP 125 e/w free charity bet. All winnings will be going to @WellChild. 👏 pic.twitter.com/cfmq3Ka5jN — FITZDARES (@Fitzdares) May 14, 2024
