ITV7 Guide: Defoe to score in Hardwicke

14:30 Royal Ascot - Chesham Stakes (Listed) (Class 1)

A race that seems to come down to a head-to-head between impressive recent scorers LOPE Y FERNANDEZ and Pinatubo. The selection justified favouritism at the Curragh and heads here with only a short break between races. He wasn't overly taxed at Irish HQ and should come on for the run.

14:45 Newmarket - Heath Court Hotel Fillies' Handicap (Class 4)

SHE'S GOT YOU is the most lightly-raced filly taking part and she can improve to land this.

15:05 Royal Ascot - Jersey Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1)

There was a lot to like about Happy Power's victory against older horses at York last week and he's joint-top rated. Space Blues held Urban Icon and MARIE'S DIAMOND at Epsom when last seen but Mark Johnston's charge seemed to have tricky moments on the camber at the Surrey track. He may come on a bundle with Frankie booked and could spring a massive surprise.

15:40 Royal Ascot - Hardwicke Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1)

If Masar brings the 2018 Investec Derby form to the table then he could take all the stopping, but he's been off the track since. There is some top class opposition in this Group 2 and DEFOE heads these. He was impressive in the Coronation Cup holding a few of these rivals and can confirm superiority.

16:20 Royal Ascot - Diamond Jubilee Stakes (Group 1) (Class 1)

BLUE POINT was an impressive winner of the King's Stand on Tuesday and reappears here in what would be a majestic double. Invincible Army won with plenty-in-hand at York in a Group 2 but this is harder and The Tin Man may still have the ability for a race of this nature.

17:00 Royal Ascot - Wokingham Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2)

A wide open renewal and a chance is taken on INTISAAB. He has some good course form and is 6lb below his highest winning mark. He has the services of Jamie Spencer and the draw has been kind. Other notable runners may well be Lake Volta and Cape Byron against the selection.

17:35 Royal Ascot - Queen Alexandra Stakes (Conditions Race) (Class 2)

The final race of Royal Ascot 2019 can perhaps go the way of LUCKY DEAL. Connections were keen to bring him to the meeting and his win at Haydock gives him a chance. He'll have competition from Max Dynamite and last year's winner Pallasator.
