CATTON LADY (3.45 Carlisle, nap)
She has tumbled down the weights for Mick and David Easterby and still looked rusty at Ripon last time. Her last visit to Cumbria saw her finish a close third in a stronger race than this and she loves cut in the ground which is a certainty today.
ROMANOVICH (3.30 Chepstow, nb)
Got his act together to score over seven furlongs here last time. He's proven over this longer trip too and a 4lb rise in the weights looks more than fair.
BRETTON WOOD (6.00 Windsor, treble)
Has the benefit of Oisin Murphy in the saddle and went close on turf at Lingfield 13 days ago. He has enough pace for this trip and will be right there.
RIVER KING (7.00 Windsor)
Completes the Lucky 15. He has yet to finish out of the frame with his best efforts coming on turf. He looks to be crying out for this step up in distance.

Royal Ascot tips: ‘He'll power home like the class act he is' – Templegate's bullish 3-1 NAP on day five
TEMPLEGATE'S TIPS Royal Ascot tips: 'He'll power home like the class act he is' – Templegate's bullish 3-1 NAP on day five TEMPLEGATE takes on Saturday's racing from Royal Ascot confident of bashing the bookies. Back a horse by clicking their odds below - and bag yourself some of our best free bet offers. ROYAL ASCOT - Best betting offers and new sign-up deals SERAPH GABRIEL (5.35 Royal Ascot, nap) He got off the mark at Lingfield on his second run before finishing his juvenile campaign with a short-head second in good company at Redcar. Trainer Ralph Beckett brought him back for his handicap debut in the competitive Esher Cup at Sandown in late April. He looked well and travelled sweetly before just being edged out in the closing stages. That was over a mile and he gives the strong impression that this longer trip will be ideal. ARAMRAM (5.00 Royal Ascot, nb) He has looked better than ever this season and followed to fine Newmarket seconds with a cosy win at Newbury last time. The official margin was a length but he was coasting in the closing stages and could have made it a lot more. The handicapper has been more than fair with a 4lb rise in the weights and the booking of Moore for Richard Hannon's flyer is the cherry on top. MOMENTS OF JOY (2.30 Royal Ascot, treble) 'The Lads' of Ballydoyle have been hoovering up the juvenile races all week and can add the Chesham to their tally.

Harry Eustace expresses unbridled joy after winning at Royal Ascot as a rookie trainer - saying 'I promise you we will celebrate'
Harry Eustace wanted to get his words out but all he could manage was a nod of the head in agreement. Had this really happened again? The answer, most definitely, was yes. Time For Sandals, his little three-year-old filly, had just completed the second part of week that, in all likelihood, has just transformed his career. Winning a Group One at Royal Ascot, for a rookie trainer, could be dismissed as luck but to do it twice in the space of four days indicates serious talent. Eustace had started the meeting that matters above all with a bang, when Docklands won the Queen Anne Stakes, but things got even better for the 37-year-old, who only started training in 2021; Time For Sandals might have been a 25/1 shot but she hit the line as powerfully as an odds-on favourite. There was heartbreak for connections of 28/1 runner-up Arizona Blaze, who wondered what might have happened had they been drawn on the far side of the track with Time For Sandals, but none of that diluted the wonderment which consumed Eustace. He's certainly bred for this job. His father, James, was an institution in Newmarket and won the 1998 Royal Hunt Cup here; his uncle, David Oughton, landed the Golden Jubilee Stakes in 2005, when Ascot was staged at York, from Hong Kong, where Harry's younger brother, David, now trains. Having the genes is one thing, being able to performer is another. Eustace dropped out of Edinburgh University, where he was studying chemistry, to pursue his dream of training good horses and the last four days, unequivocally, have shown that was the right call. 'People are waiting for you to prove you can do it – and we have done it twice this week,' said Eustace, whose other runners at Ascot this week finished second and fifth. 'This is the big marquee meeting of the entire year. To win here is the greatest stage and it's enormous for us. 'I won't take any of it for granted. I have been very lucky growing up with Dad. But it's tough. This is a sport and an industry in which it is a marathon, not a sprint. You have to keep going. 'I promise you we will celebrate it because you never know if it's going to be a little while between drinks!' This, in essence, is what it is all about: joy. Everywhere you looked, you could see what everyone is in this for: from Richard Kingscote, who partnered Time For Sandals, to Kieran Shoemark, who emerged from a period of turbulence to take the Sandringham Stakes on 22/1 shot Never Let Go. 'It has been a tough six weeks,' said Shoemark, who lost his job as one of John and Thady Gosden's main riders after losing on Field Of Gold in the 2000 Guineas. 'I had an opportunity that put me on the map and it is my job to remain there now.' Staying on the map is something that Willie Mullins will never have to worry about but even this winning machine looked like he was savouring Ascot success for the first time (it was actually his eleventh win) when Ethical Diamond blitzed the field in the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes. Then, of course, there was Joseph Murphy, who sent out the 33/1 winner of the Coronation Stakes. He and jockey Gary Carroll are pillars of this sport in Ireland, the kind of men who keep the wheels turning on a daily basis but rarely get the credit they deserve. 'It's a lifetime's ambition to have a Group One winner,' said Murphy, who is now 70. 'This is 50 years of work – that's what it is. It's love and care, and all for the owners we have, all our people. It's just a whole group of people together. This is heaven on earth.'
