Frankie Dettori Royal Ascot rides: Day 1

Timeform assess Frankie Dettori's rides on day one of Royal Ascot.

Queen Anne Stakes (14:30 Royal Ascot)

Timeform analysis: Brilliant winner of Coronation at this meeting on her 2022 reappearance and underlined what a top-class miler she is on her day with victory in Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville last August. Blew the start when only fifth in QEII over C&D on final outing but the one to beat if back to her best.

Timeform star verdict (out of five): ★★★★★

Givemethebeatboys

Coventry Stakes (15:05 Royal Ascot)

Bungle Inthejungle colt who fetched little at the sales but has already proved to be a bargain buy, overcoming a positional bias to make a winning start at Navan before showing much-improved form to follow up in Group 3 (6f) at the Curragh, coming out on top in a 3-way photo. Must be respected.

★★★★

Manaccan

King's Stand Stakes (15:40 Royal Ascot)

Highly progressive sprinter last year (including C&D listed win) and made a really encouraging return to action behind race-fit rivals when third to Vadream in the Palace House at Newmarket 45 days ago. Capable of a bold bid under Dettori.

★★★★

Chaldean

St James's Palace Stakes (16:20 Royal Ascot)

Frankel colt who progressed at a rate of knots last season, completing the 4-timer when edging out Royal Scotsman in Dewhurst at Newmarket. Unfortunate to unseat rider at the start on return and quickly resumed progress/winning ways in 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, always to the fore. Obvious claims.

★★★★★

Saga

Wolferton Stakes (17:35 Royal Ascot)

Just failed to get up in last year's Britannia fitted with first-time blinkers/tongue tie and having been gelded it was a similar story on his return at Newmarket in first-time cheekpieces last month (conceded first run and never nearer). Patchy profile a bit concerning but bound to be popular.

★★★

Absurde

Copper Horse Handicap (18:10 Royal Ascot)

Smart on the Flat (stays 1¼m) for C. Laffon-Parias and made a successful debut over hurdles after 11 months in 7-runner minor event at Killarney (20f) 36 days ago. Looks on a good mark back in this code on the pick of his form in France and needs taking seriously with Dettori up.

★★★★
