Royal Ascot Tips

The 5 day Royal Ascot festival gets underway this week, with 30 top quality races to savour with some of the top thoroughbreds going into battle for the £4 Million pounds in prize money.

When providing some Royal Ascot Tips one has to provide a health warning at the same time as this is one of the most competitive horse racing festivals in the World, with all the very best owners, trainers, jockeys and horses all looking for the same result, a Royal Ascot winner.

There are a few pointers that need to be highlighted for those that maybe going along for a day’s entertainment or maybe you may just tune into the extensive TV coverage over the 5 days. Firstly Aiden O’Brien is the King of Ascot and he will send a strong team into battle including Henrythenavigator, Yeats and Duke of Marmalade all with great chances in their respective races. Mark Johnston always produces his string to peak for this meeting and his horses have a great record in the long distance races. Sir Michael Stoute will have a number of hot favourites in the handicaps and they usually go off at restricted prices and sometimes are worth taking on with the exchanges. The Australians will be arriving with a number of top class sprinters.

So enough of the general tips now comes the time to put our necks on the line and we have various Royal Ascot tips for your consideration. Our four main fancies come in the Prince of Wales Stakes, the Royal Hunt Cup, the King Stand and the Queen Anne Stakes.
