🔥 QUEEN ANNE STAKES (GROUP 1) | 14:30

Notable Speech heads the betting with 1xBet Ireland, but only one member of the panel is prepared to side with the favourite.

The team discuss:

• Notable Speech

Can the favourite justify his position at the head of the market, or is there better value elsewhere?

🏇 COVENTRY STAKES (GROUP 2) | 15:05

Aidan O'Brien has won this race 11 times and Confucius is a red-hot favourite.

However:

• Three members of the panel side with Great Barrier Reef at 6/1+

The panel are unanimous on one thing:

• Overpass is too short in the betting

• Mission Central

While Peter Michael believes 25/1 about Time For Sandals is one of the biggest prices of the meeting.

👑 ST JAMES'S PALACE STAKES (GROUP 1) | 16:20

A clash of Classic winners.

• Bow Echo receives strong support and is considered the bet of the week by one member of the panel
• Puerto Rico is expected to be dangerous if Christophe Soumillon secures an easy lead

One of the standout races of Royal Ascot.

🏆 ASCOT STAKES | 17:00

Willie Mullins bids to land another Royal Ascot winner.

• Reaching High was heavily fancied last year
• Owned by His Majesty The King
• Ryan Moore takes the ride

A fascinating contender in one of the meeting's most popular handicaps.

⭐ WOLFERTON STAKES | 17:35

Adam is strongly in the Haatem camp after victories at the last two Royal Ascots.

However:

• Andy and Emmet side with Nahraan
• Trained by the Gosdens
