Kevin Blake’s Royal Ascot Day 1 Tips

• Queen Anne Stakes
• Coventry Stakes
• Kings Stand Stakes
• St James’ Palace Stakes

 

Queen Anne Stakes

“The market has opened up a bit in recent days, but 20/1 looks seriously appetising about Mutasaabeq. He certainly has a chance of hitting the frame and at 20/1 that would have you in business. I certainly wouldn’t rule him out of winning either.”

Bet on Mutasaabeq at 16/1 with Betfred.

 

Coventry Stakes

“Barnwell Boy is a horse I like a lot, he is 25/1 for this but also the favourite for the Windsor Castle. I have failed to find any chat as to where he is going but he won over 6f at Goodwood last time and it was really impressive. Chase it up if you haven’t seen it.

“There was loads of talk about Unquestionable before his debut. He was beaten but wasn’t given a hard time. He is 16/1 or so for the Coventry, haven’t heard for sure that he is a runner but he is worth keeping in your mind.”

“Givemethebeatboys was very good at Navan. He came from an unpromising position on the near side to win and nothing else on the card did the same.”

Possible bets: Barnwell Boy 25/1, Unquestionable 16/1, Givemethebeatboys 14/1

Kings Stand Stakes

“It’s a big ask for Dramatised to get the better of this field. These Aussie sprinters are out of season. You can get away with such things with geldings and colts but not fillies.

“At a massive price Mooniesta has been forgotten about. She was fourth in race last yr, beaten last time but I would be extremely forgiving of that. I suspect by the time she gets to Ascot she will be blooming.”

Bet on Mooniesta at 40/1 with bet365.

 

St James’ Palace Stakes

“You can poke and prod at most of them in this race to some extent. I don’t want to fully buy into Chaldean. Cicero’s Gift and Mostab were impressive but the clock doesn’t necessarily back them up.

“Almost by a process of elimination I find myself thinking Isaac Shelby is the bet.”

Bet on Isaac Shelby at 9/1 with Coral.

 

Kevin Blake’s Royal Ascot Day 2 Tips

• Prince of Wales Stakes
• Duke of Cambridge Stakes

 

Prince of Wales Stakes

“This is a super race. My Prospero is the one I like. He is still low-milage and has only had seven runs. He will be bang on for a return for a mile-and-a-quarter. He is a very solid prospect.”

Bet on My Prospero at 7/2 with LiveScore Bet.

 

Duke of Cambridge Stakes

“Jumbly has been trained for Royal Ascot. She had a smashing run on comeback. The winner then was a very good mare. Joseph O’Brien’s fillies are taking a real big jump forward on their first runs and this is the red circle race for her.”

Bet on Jumbly at 9/4 with William Hill.

 

Kevin Blake’s Royal Ascot Day 3 Tips

• Ribblesdale Stakes
• Ascot Gold Cup

 

Ribblesdale Stakes

“Lumiere Rock is going to run for Joseph O’Brien. You can look at form and say she is not up to this level but the form may get a boost from the Prix de Diane. She is crying out for this trip and course will suit her well.”

Bet on Lumiere Rock at 16/1 with William Hill.

 

Ascot Gold Cup

“Coltrane has been a late bloomer. Course and distance and ground are all A1 for him. He is favourite but a very solid one.”

Bet on Coltrane at 3/1 with bet365.

 

Kevin Blake’s Royal Ascot Day 4 Tips

• Albany Stakes
• Coronation Stakes

 

Ablany Stakes

“I like Navassa Island. Michael O’Callaghan does well with his breezers. I saw her give a run full of promise. I think this race is the target for Navassa Island and 8/1 is a big price. I am surprised that she is not shorter.

Bet on Navassa Island at 8/1 with 10Bet.

 

Coronation Stakes

“Tahiyra has an awful lot of class and got the job done. I think the course and distance will suit her well. One of interest is Electric Eyes, if she was to turn up she would be interesting.”

Bet o Electric Eyes at 14/1 with BetVictor.

 

Kevin Blakes Royal Ascot Day 5 Tips

• Hardwicke Stakes
• Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes

 

Hardwicke Stakes

“I like Hukum, always have and think he has been underrated in the past. He will take an awful lot of whacking here. For me, he just wins.”

Bet on Hukum at 9/4 with bet365.

 

Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes

“Wellington is one of the best sprinters in the world now. He was 121 in best racehorse in the world’s best horse race rankings. That is high level stuff. He should be up there amongst the market leaders.”

Bet on Wellington at 6/1 with LiveScore Bet.
