5:00 Royal Ascot Tips

Favourite now is the Murphy ridden Miss Nightfall ..caught in a pocket last time and should get all the aide required here

Finished a close second on all 3 starts last year but then won very impressively over 7f at Kempton on seasonal return clocking a very fast time when staying on powerfully. Big chance is translating that form to this track.

Emma Lavelle's grey looked a big improver when easily winning at Goodwood last time & could well step-up for the extra furlong, giving the way she went clear last time.

Beaten a smidge by Crimson Advocate at Goodwood in May and how good does that form look now? That one has bolted up here already this meeting and this one must be backed. 8th in the Queen Mary at this meeting last year before giving Simmering a fright in the Gp 3 Princess Margaret here at Ascot last July and is a classy sort. Willie Buick keeps the faith and a blinding EW play here. Should stay and decent draw.

Won a hot maiden over 1.2 miles @ Newmarket Lto and interesting connections have selected this race for handicap debut. Drop back to this stiff mile should not be an issue and very good jockey has a good record when riding for this top class trainer, who is already having a good Royal Ascot this week, making current 12/1 solid Ew value in the race.

Twice a winner including a very impressive win last time out over 7f at Haydock last month. Stayed on strongly there so may improve on this step up to 1 mile and looks each way value with 6 places.

ALFAREQA looks a solid prospect now handicapping and looks very well bred to progress. A solid each-way play at this price with the extra places

Well backed but still an e.w. price-and 6 places.Gets in at the bottom with a nice weight and a good jockey.Consistent and a fast ground winner over a straight mile.Beaten over 7f latest-round track.An open race an e.w.stab looks smart play

The race could pan out nicely for PURPLE RAINBOW if the pace isn't full throttle, she could see it out on the front end off a low racing weight with Warren Fentiman claiming a valuable 5 lb. Her last run here at Ascot will have put some condition into her, and that will have sharpened her up for this.

Joseph Obrien charge Dancing Teapot good value to at the very least place in this one was a winner last time out at Gowran Park

Found life difficult in the group 1 bet 365 fillies race at Newmarket in October of last year and finished 5th. Had previously looked very good and can bounce back.

This 3yo Fillies' cl2 h/cap is a tricky one to solve as there are plenty in here open to improvement plus the weather will play a big part as well. John & Thady Gosden are in red hot form (just like the weather) and Cajole is a nice e/w price for this type of race. The daughter of Dubawi has 1 win & 1 place from 3 runs and her mark of 85 looks very workable (as are plenty in here). Saffie Osbourne gets the leg up and I'm hoping she knows how to play this from an awkward draw in 6 with 25 runners.

Ran on and went third over a mile and a quarter at Goodwood last month and will be suited by the likely fast pace dropping back in trip to a mile.

Both of Ryka's two wins have come on good to firm going including first time out this season at Newmarket over a mile up five pounds for that narrow win but she is still on a lowly mark of 82 near the bottom of the handicap and should be in the top six home drawn on the stands side.

Ran in a Listed event last time out on Linfields AW finishing a decent 3rd of 7 over 7f 1yd staying on the same pace in the final furlong. Has winning form on good to firm last year. Class 2 today over 1m and nicely drawn in stall 17.

Consistent sort. Handles quick ground and whilst dofficult to win with, knows how to finish in the placings. Yard has a good record in this race.

Showed plenty of promises in 2 starts as a Juvenile, might not be able to win it here but in this company a top 6 finish is very realistic

Irish raider, 3yo filly, 1 win from 4. She was beaten 3L in a Group last month, however, she was beaten by some high rated rivals. She travelled strong but had a rotten passage in the final 2f, stuck in a pocket, switched then hit another wall and the jockey had to stop riding and switch again, a positive run given the circumstances. Other positives is that she’s had a nice seven week break, that last run was after a 7 month break and should improve for the run, the 2nd 3rd and 4th in that last race have all given the form a big boost since. She’s now running in handicap company on an attractive mark.

Fair debut full of promise on only run last season and trained on judged by 2 wins on the all weather to date. This will require much more but no issues in the trip and if handling first start on turf could well out run the odds of 80/1

Cartwheel caught my eye when an impressive winner at Kempton last October but was a bit of a damp squib in the Nell Gwyn where she never really got going. I'm hoping she can bounce back here with inform jockey Andrew Joseph Slattery aboard.

Won her debut last August over 7f on good to firm and then followed that up with a decent 5th of 9 in a Listed event at Leopardstown. Last run was over a maybe too far 1m 1f 120yds so interesting today back down to 1m on ground that suits. Is a massive ew price but ew bet used on other selection.

Last autumn, the 3-year-old secured 2 all-weather victories over 8.7f at Wolverhampton. Although she didn't make a mark in 2 all-weather handicaps this spring, the narrative changed when she switched to turf at Sandown last week, where she finished 3rd out of 8. With enticing odds of 100/1 for an each-way bet, ti's important to highlight that trainer Heather Main often seems a profit when entering a single runner at a flat meeting.

this looks one of the most open races of the week and serving with style looks amazing each way value at a massive 50/1.with 6 places up for grabs he might get his own way up front and be hard to peg back
