2.30 – Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1) 

BENBATL
This race is not often won by an outsider and I am going for Benbatl here. He stays a mile and one furlong (1800m) so Ascot’s stiff, straight mile (1600m) will really suit. He has also won fresh before and, with Saeed bin Suroor horses hitting form, I think this will be good bet to start your Royal Ascot.

3.05 – Coventry Stakes (Group 2)
CALYX
John Gosden’s horses are running well at the moment and I think it says something that he has selected this horse for this race, one of the best two-year-old contests of the season. He was an impressive winner first time out, despite being a bit green, and there will be plenty of improvement.

3.40 – King’s Stand Stakes (Group 1)
LADY AURELIA – Bet of the day
I was impressed when she won this race as a three-year-old last year as it is not often won by a horse that age, so now she is four years old she will be even stronger. She will have been set out for this race and looks a rock-solid proposition.

4.20 – St James’s Palace Stakes (Group 1)
WITHOUT PAROLE 
He won his last race in not a flashy style but he likes to make the jockey work hard and keep a bit up his sleeve. There is definitely more to come from him and is trained by the man in-form, John Gosden..
