Royal Ascot Tips Day 2 - Free Horse Racing Tips

14:30 - Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2)

Plenty of potential as expected for a 2-y-o event at Royal Ascot but Karl Burke won this last year with Dramatised and BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND could be another potential star for the stable given the way she powered clear in a Nottingham maiden 2 weeks ago. Relief Rally made it 2 from 2 in good style at Salisbury so is high on the shortlist, while Born To Rock's easy debut success at Yarmouth is backed up by the clock.

15:05 - Kensington Palace Fillies' Handicap

Unsurprisingly plenty arrive with claims, including LADY EROS who looked well served by the drop back to 1m when seeing off a next-time-out winner at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago and, with the likelihood of more to come for her powerful yard, she's expected to go well again partnered by Oisin Murphy. Farhh To Shy impressed with the manner in which she travelled when scoring on the straight course here in May and shouldn't be underestimated. Adelaise and Yerwanthere complete the shortlist.

15:40 - Duke Of Cambridge Stakes (Group 2)

JUMBLY is very much bred to progress with age, and having won in Group company on the round course here last term, she's taken to build on a highly encouraging return at the Curragh and come out on top. Prosperous Voyage was back to winning ways at Epsom last time and sets a very high standard on the form of last season's Falmouth win, whilst Grande Dame appeals as another who can have a productive season and is given plenty of respect on her return.

16:20 - Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (Group 1)

A high-class renewal, with preference for LUXEMBOURG to provide Aidan O'Brien with a fifth victory in the contest. The 4-y-o ran to a similar level as when winning the Irish Champion with a determined success in the Tattersalls Gold Cup last month, so he is taken to get the better of the 2021 Derby/King George winner Adayar. My Prospero is also respected with more to offer back up in trip.

17:00 - Royal Hunt Cup (Heritage Handicap)

As usual, stacks with chances but PEROTTO is simply too well handicapped to ignore. He offered enough when keeping on for seventh in the Victoria Cup over 7f here last month to think new trainer Roger Varian has him in form and he's 3 lb lower than when landing the Britannia at this meeting in 2021. Astro King shaped well on his reappearance for his new stable at York last month and has twice reached the frame in this so he's second choice. Ghaly, Bless Him and Awaal also make the shortlist.

17:35 - Queen's Vase (Group 2)

GREGORY has made a big impression on both starts to date and he's the sort to relish the extra distance, so he's an obvious choice to maintain his unbeaten record. Circle of Fire did well to get third from an unpromising position in the Derby Trial at Lingfield, so he's feared, while Peking Opera strikes as the best of the Irish challengers.

18:10 - Windsor Castle Stakes (Listed)

This has a very open feel to it, with JOHANNES BRAHMS just about the most appealing candidate for his powerful connections. The Naas race he won hasn't worked out brilliantly, but he overcame inexperience on that occasion and is sure to know more this time. Maximum Impact is just about the form pick but the application of a tongue tie on this unbeaten colt is a slight worry, so Barnwell Boy, a taking winner at Goodwood, is feared most. Supersonic Man might be the pick of those at longer odds.
