Royal Ascot

Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Str)

Baaeed

Real World

BAAEED extended his unbeaten run with no difficulty when slamming Real World by 3¼ lengths in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury on his return last month, producing the sort of performance rarely seen at this trip in Britain since the days of Frankel, so he's very hard to oppose in a race of similar quality. Real World can follow the selection home again, with Order of Australia best of the others. 

Coventry Stakes (Group 2)

Sky Bet paying SIX places instead of three

SKY BET EXTRA PLACE RACE

Bradsell

Persian Force

Royal Scotsman

Aidan O'Brien has won this a record 9 times and holds a strong hand once again with BLACKBEARD and Age of Kings, who both looked smart prospects when scoring last-time out. The latter was very strong at the finish at the Curragh 2 weeks ago but Blackbeard seems to have more natural pace having displayed an impressive turn of foot in the Marble Hill Stakes there, so gets the vote. Persian Force looks best of the home team, with Bradsell, Remarkable Force and Royal Scotsman also worth a mention. 

King's Stand Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series)

Sky Bet paying FIVE places instead of three

Nature Strip

Twilight Calls

Acklam Express

GOLDEN PAL failed to fire when only seventh in last season's Nunthorpe at York but Wesley Ward's US colt is unbeaten since and well worth another chance to prove himself a top sprinter on these shores. Australian-challenger Nature Strip has the form to play a leading role too and could prove his biggest threat, with Twilight Calls and Man of Promise appealing as the pick of the home challenge. 

St James's Palace Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Rnd)

Sky Bet - Money Back as Cash if 2nd OR 3rd

SKY BET MONEY BACK OFFER

Coroebus

Lusail

My Prospero

A very intriguing renewal, featuring more unknown quantities than is sometimes the case. That said COROEBUS sets a very high standard on his win in what looks a strong renewal of the 2000 Guineas so the likes of William Haggas pair My Prospero and Maljoom and the Gosdens' Mighty Ulysses, who all have the potential to make their mark at the highest level, will need to take another sizeable step forward to trouble Charlie Appleby's charge. 

Ascot Stakes (Heritage Handicap)

Sky Bet paying SEVEN places instead of four

Coltrane

Bring On The Night

Arcadian Sunrise

Going Gone

Unsurprisingly a host arrive with claims, including last year's winner RESHOUN. Operating from the same mark, he warmed up for this with an encouraging fifth over shorter at Haydock last month and, with the cheekpieces/return to further both obvious positives, Ian Williams' charge is fancied to make a bold bid to follow up. Irish-raiders Pied Piper and Bring On The NIght are both fascinating contenders and feared, along with Coltrane and Arcadian Sunrise. 

Wolferton Stakes (Listed)

Dubai Future

Cadillac

Harrovian

This looks very open. FOXES TALES was able to negotiate a wide stall when landing a C&D handicap at this meeting in 2021 so he's chanced despite being drawn in 16. He seemingly didn't quite stay 1½m at Newbury last time and had finished in front of last year's winner Juan Elcano, who should go well again, when a creditable second on his reappearance at Sandown. Harrovian and the reappearing Tasman Bay are others to consider.  

Copper Horse Stakes (Handicap)

Sky Bet paying FIVE places instead of four

Get Shirty

Cleveland

Okita Soushi

Alright Sunshine

The Gosdens saddled the winner of this last year and STOWELL could be another for the yard. He was a fine third in the C&D Queen's Vase at this meeting 12 months ago (sole previous attempt at this trip) and has shown enough in Group 3/listed company this year to suggest that this mark will be within reach now pitched into a handicap. Chester Cup winner Cleveland probably has more to offer and is greatly respected, while Juan de Montalban, Okita Soushi and Platinumcard are others to consider.

Thirsk

Sky Bet paying FOUR places instead of three

Glenlaurel

Signora Camacho

Violeta

MAZYUNA made an encouraging start to her career when second at Ripon 19 days ago and can go one better second time up. Unforgetable Move and Glenlaurel are newcomers to keep a close eye on in the betting. 

Theakston Refreshing Pale Handicap

Myboymax

Danni California

DANNI CALIFORNIA didn't need to come off the bridle to record a first success in handicap company at Wetherby last week and looks capable of following up under a 5 lb penalty on that evidence. Let Her Loose retains scope on old form following her recent C&D win and rates the main threat.

Quest For Fun

Ghathanfar

Lovely Mana

The vote goes to LOVELY MANA, who pulled nicely clear of the rest when just touched off at Windsor last week and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Huddle Up is likely to come good for his new connections sooner rather than later and is next on the list ahead of Spartan Fighter, who returns to turf on a potentially favourable mark. 

Peter Fairhurst Memorial EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Bay Of Honour

Positive Impact

POSITIVE IMPACT looked an unlucky loser at Leicester last time and is taken to make amends with further improvement on the cards. Bay of Honour justified good support in the manner of a useful prospect at Kempton in October, so is considered a big danger, while King's Crusader is shaping up well and can't be taken lightly, either.

Cliffcake

Manhattanville

Reputation

A competitive handicap with TAMASKA receiving the vote. He's been thriving of late and remains one to be interested in having lost out only to a better-placed rival at Musselburgh 9 days ago. Cliffcake and Oso Rapido are a couple of potential threats. 

Best Odds Guaranteed With Vickers.Bet EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Mount Athos

Conflict

Love Trophy Power

MOUNT ATHOS was unable to keep tabs with the first 3 once they quickened up at Doncaster last time, but he wasn't knocked about and still appeals as the type to do better, so could be the way to go. Love Trophy Power failed to meet expectations on her reappearance at Windsor, though possibly needed the run more than the market anticipated, while Rich Rhythm is another to consider in what looks a novice with some depth.

Rambuso Creek

Lost My Sock

Birkenhead

DANDY SPIRIT was never in the hunt on return/debut for new yard at Beverley, but he should come on for that run and will have every chance here if back on-song in a first-time hood. Another who needs to bounce back but will be a big player if able to do so is Cool Spirit, who has slipped to an attractive mark. Harrogate and Murbih both make each-way appeal.

Stratford

racingtv/freetrial Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Appreciate

Kolisi

Doors Breaker

The fact that KOLISI's three wins in April were gained within the space of 11 days suggest that connections may not be averse to allowing him to take his chance following a creditable effort at Worcester on Saturday. If the 4-y-o does go to post, he will surely take plenty of stopping off the same mark. The hat-trick seeking Appreciate should give another good account, but there were positives to glean from the effort of Prince of Bad Lins at Uttoxeter and he is second choice.

Quiet Thunder

Rocked Up

Rock The Hill

There should be more to come from LUNAR SHADOW on the back of her Southwell hurdle debut success so she's taken to defy a penalty. Cool Rain could pose the main threat if bouncing back to anything like her best form on her first outing for new trainer Matt Sheppard.

Racing TV Free For A Month Handicap Hurdle

Glimpse Of Gold

Manor Park

A few with chances, but THAHAB IFRAJ comes here in top form and can race off the same mark as when a very good second at Newton Abbot so gets the vote. Aliomaana wasn't at her best on the level last time but is feared most back in this sphere off a handy-looking mark. Fakenham-scorer Glimpse of Gold isn't taken lightly either in what promises to be a close-run handicap. 

Join RacingTV Now Novices' Handicap Chase

Boston Joe

Invincible Wish

BOSTON JOE showed much-improved form switched to handicap company when off the mark at Ffos Las 17 days ago and looks capable of following up in a thin race. Fellow last-time-out winner Arbennig is the obvious threat. 

Visit racingtv.com Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Rafiki

Tardree

It could be worth chancing RAFIKI, who's fairly useful on the Flat and is likely to take to this sphere given his stable. Penalised-winner Awesomedude is the obvious threat ahead of Tardree. 

Watch On Racing TV Handicap Chase

Ahead Of Schedule

Wavecrest

A weakly-contested handicap in which HELFORD RIVER looks the way to go given he can race off a 1 lb lower mark than when a good recent C&D second. Churchtown Glen is a long time without a win but must enter calculations on the back of his creditable Warwick fourth, while veteran Orchestrated needs factoring in too.  

Beverley

EBF Restricted Novice Stakes

Dear My Friend

Sol Cayo

Have Secret

DEAR MY FRIEND has a penalty for his debut success, but he did really well to overcome inexperience that day, and is bound to do better, particularly with the longer trip a positive. Sol Cayo was only just behind the selection on that occasion and improved again, but he has less scope for further progress. Blue Yonder and Highfield Viking are the interesting newcomers.

Racing TV Handicap

Paddy Elliott

Stripzee

Who's Ur Dandy

STRIPZEE needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Redcar on her latest outing, yet she hadn't fared at all badly in stronger handicaps than today's previously and, from a handy draw, it would come as no surprise to see a better showing. Krystal Maze, Magical Effect and Paddy Elliott head up the dangers. 

George Kilburn Memorial EBF Conditions Stakes (GBB Race)

Clarendon House

MOSS GILL is the one to beat on the pick of his form, and takes a big drop in class following a reappearance in Group 2 company. Clarendon House don't have that much to find at their best and can't be discounted easily, but both need to bounce back from lesser efforts.

Biffa Area One Handicap

Grifter

Tangled

Motarajel

A competitive handicap with the vote in favour of one of the 3-y-os in the shape of GRIFTER. He was not seen to best effect over 1¼m on his latest outing at Haydock but his previous exploits at around this trip read well in the context of this race and he could be up to shedding the maiden tag here. Master Richard and Head Chef are next best, ahead of Eligible. 

Westwood Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB Race)

Luckyboylovelywife

Gracelands Girl

GRACELANDS GIRL has improved with each start to date, finishing nicely clear of the remainder when runner-up at Ripon 3 weeks ago having got across from the worst of the draw, and she gets the nod to make it fourth time lucky. Pennypeace, who ran well when third on debut at Newbury last summer (solid form), looks a big threat, along with Maggie And Me. 

Daisy Handicap

Iron Sheriff

Dr Rio

Wild Thunder

None of these find winning easy but IRON SHERIFF dropped a hint his turn may be imminent again when runner-up at Newcastle 3 weeks ago and, returned to the scene of his sole previous victory, he can strike from a handy draw. Dr Rio, who ran well at Redcar recently, and Le Bayou head up the dangers, along with Dandy's Angel. 

East Riding Handicap

Clotherholme

Bankawi

STAND FREE has largely acquitted herself well since resuming winning ways at Newcastle around the turn of the year, third behind a relatively low-mileage sort on her latest start, and she gets the narrow vote to come out on top. Clotherholme was well served by the strong pace when successful at Catterick recently and is feared, along with last year's winner Bankawi and Willing To Please. 

Brighton

Cazoo Handicap

Street Parade

May Remain

A tardy start didn't help EQUALLY FAST's cause at Lingfield recently, but he still managed to finish a creditable second and may well go one better here off a 2 lb lower mark. Street Parade also found just one too good last time in a C&D handicap and is feared most. Aish and May Remain are both capable of bold shows off their present marks and also enter calculations in what looks a rather trappy contest.

Download The At The Races App EBF Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

X J Rascal

Al Khazneh

AL KHAZNEH ran to a high level when second at Goodwood on his second start, and this looks a fine opportunity for him to get off the mark. Zabbie is next best on form and capable of better still, but has a fair bit to find with the selection. X J Rascal is a newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.

Sue Addis Simply The Best Handicap

Hot Hot Hot

Kath's Toyboy

ANDRE AMAR shaped as if retaining all his ability on his reappearance and is worth siding with to build on that having dipped to 1 lb lower than when runner-up here last autumn. Nigg Bay has run a couple of good races at this venue recently and is feared most ahead of course-scorer Kath's Toyboy, who may revive in headgear. 

At The Races App Form Study Handicap

Largo Bay

Boy George

IT'S HOW WE ROLL was much improved when scoring readily at Bath three days ago and is weighted to go in again under a 4 lb penalty. In-form top weight Largo Bay appeals as the one to chase home John Spearing's gelding ahead of C&D scorer Miss Tiki. 

Free Tips Daily On attheraces.com Handicap

Spanish Mane

Rivas Rob Roy

SLY MADAM isn't the most straightforward, but she was a clear-cut winner off this mark here last week so holds obvious claims. Spanish Mane shaped better than the bare result when third at Yarmouth so rates the main threat off a winning mark. 

Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap

Fieldsman

Poetic Force

Lots with chances, so it is worth siding with the handily-weighted BIG BARD at the likely odds given he can boast a course win and wasn't seen to best effect at Lingfield last time from a poor draw. In-form C&D winners Fieldsman and Attache seem sure to have a say too and can chase home Gary Moore's 4yo in that order.    

Royal Ascot On Sky Sports Racing Handicap

Major Gatsby

Sun Emperor

My Boy Jack

MAJOR GATSBY went down only to a well-treated one on turf at Lingfield last time and can resume winning ways. The Laura Mongan stable has found form in recent weeks so last-time-out C&D runner-up Dazzerling is feared most ahead of Night Traveller, who has her first outing for Tony Carroll here. 

Roscommon

Castlerea Novice Chase

Sole Pretender

Ferdia

SOLE PRETENDER was smart over hurdles and made a sparkling chase debut after 7 months off when winning with plenty in hand at Ballinrobe 2 weeks ago. He's likely to prove at least as good in this sphere so should prove very hard to beat under a penalty. Ferdia can follow him home. 

Tote Connacht National Handicap Chase

Politesse

Popong

Snugsborough Hall

SIBERIAN PRINCE was strong in the betting and jumped superbly when opening his account in a Limerick novice 18 days ago and, with potential for better still now handicapping, he earns the vote to come out on top again back up in trip. Glenloe is easily forgiven his latest effort and is also worth a look along with Politesse, whilst it would come as no surprise to see Popong dispel a rare below-par display at Punchestown back in April. 

www.roscommonracecourse.ie Opportunity Maiden Hurdle

Weddell Sea

Edge Of My Seat

Betty Dutton

WEDDELL SEA left his hurdles bow well behind when runner-up at Limerick in April and sets a clear standard on that form. Wrecking Ball Paul is feared most if able to reproduce his debut form. 

Roscommon Racecourse Opportunity Handicap Hurdle (80-95) (Div 1)

Dylan Oak

Vale Of Glory

Inforapenny

Golden Sandbanks

SHANTOU WARRIOR was left with too much to do at Punchestown when last seen in December and is appealing here off a workable mark. The 8-y-o went close on his reappearance last year, so the lack of a recent run shouldn't be an issue. Junior Bee is feared on the back of her battling success at Wexford and Dylan Oak also enters calculations on the back of his encouraging reappearance display. Tuckmill completes the shortlist.

Roscommon Racecourse Opportunity Handicap Hurdle (80-95) (Div 2)

Presenting Lad

He's Leading Me On

Boston Brahmin

HE'S LEADING ME ON arrives on the back of a very good Tramore second and is weighted to go one better here despite taking a 3 lb rise. Recent Punchestown second Muntahez is next on the list with Our Bobby and Karla Martina appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Kepak Rated Novice Hurdle

Ambitious Fellow

AMBITIOUS FELLOW belied odds of 40/1 when striking on return at Punchestown in April, and duly proved that that was no flash in the pan when second at Wexford next time. This step back up in trip looks a good move and he shades preference ahead of Plains Indian, who was a cosy winner at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago. Bravo Team is also respected, but Desert Friend has more on his plate than when winning at Listowel and Crosshouse Boy looks up against it on these terms.

Country Music Festival Here On June 19th Handicap Hurdle (80-123)

MOVING WATER looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut so is fancied to follow up his easy Wexford novice success. Limerick-scorer The Big Chap also looks open to improvement and is next on the list ahead of in-form Kells Priory.
