Oli Bell best bets for Royal Ascot on Saturday


Oli Bell takes Natalie's Joy to justify favouritism in the Chesham and get his Saturday Yankee off to the perfect start.

2.30 Royal Ascot - Natalie's Joy

Mark Johnston won the Albany Stakes with Main Edition on Friday and unleashes another very exciting juvenile filly in the Chesham. Natalie's Joy made a deep impression when winning on debut at Goodwood and looked every inch a horse who would make her mark at a higher level. She can prove that here.

3.40 Royal Ascot - Sabre

Richard Fahey thinks the world of this colt who finished second in the National Stakes at Sandown last time. That form took a few knocks earlier this week but I still think this is a very exciting colt and he can prove too quick for his rivals in an open race.

4.20 Royal Ascot - Harry Angel

I take Harry Angel to repel a strong Australian challenge and win the Diamond Jubilee. Much is made of the fact he's 0 from 4 at the track but he's run some good races here and returned to action with a good win at York. He's a top-notch sprinter who will be very hard to beat.

5.35 Royal Ascot - Thomas Hobson

Willie Mullins' charge was sent-off favourite when finishing second in this race last year but arrives here a fresh horse this time around. He has Ryan Moore in the saddle and is a very useful stayer on the Flat. He will take the world of beating in this.
