5:35 Royal Ascot Tips

Ralph Beckett's unbeaten Amiloc looks the one to be with. Not the most straitforward, as his dam was somewhat tricky & looked to be going nowhere in the Goodwood Listed race he won last month, but once hitting the mile pole, he just took off to run out an easy 4l winner. This extra furlong can only help & I don't think connections know how good he is yet.

Won a listed race in Ireland nicely 15 days ago will come on for that run and is very strong in the betting market so has to be a bet in these conditions.

Took his chance in the Derby on first attempt over this trip earlier this month, sent off 40-1 and 12th of 18 well beaten but possible the undulating track didn’t suit. Worth another look over this trip being a son of Frankel and the first time blinkers are of interest too.

Regal Ulixes has just continued improving and i wouldn't be surprised by a big showing here for these connections. Worth an each way bet here

Just seven career runs on turf, posting three good 100+ RPR ratings in his last four starts. Not disgraced in Derby two weeks ago. Just one previous run on quick ground when a decent runner-up as a 2yo. This Group 2 looks weak for the grade and the selection looks overpriced.

Well bred sort whose dam was a 10f Group 1 winner and has produced plenty of winners included at graded level so we haven't seen the best of this one yet as she gains experience. Will improve and too big a price to ignore here. Beat Rahiebb on seasonal debut and that one has boosted the form by running a cracker in the Queen's Vase already this week. Was very unlucky last time as was hampered when making his move at Goodwood. Can turn the tables on the winner there Amiloc and at 5 times that one's price looks the each way value anyway.

Stepping up in distance could bring on further improvement and although nothing spectacular so far this season he has run well in defeat in the Craven and futurity at Doncaster and last time at York in the Dante. Good place claims at 14/1.
