Royal Ascot day four: Tips, results and racecard for today's racing
The penultimate day of Royal Ascot is upon us and if you have not found a winner yet now is a good a time as any. Today's card is all about two cracking Group 1s. The Coronation Stakes (4.20), run over a mile, features a hot favourite in Falakeyah who could yet prove to be the best three-year-old filly in training. The Commonwealth Cup (3.05) offers a prize fund of over £725,000, with the best three-year-old sprinters locking horns over six furlongs. Below, our experts give their selections for every race on the card and their best bet (Nap). Check back here once the racing kicks off for results. Royal Ascot day four tips 2.30pm: Albany Stakes (Group Three) Charlie Brooks – This isn't the moment to oppose the two-year-olds that O'Brien has chosen to bring over. Signora is the pick. (Nap) Marcus Armytage – Signora was third to a very smart filly on debut and bound to come on for that Marlborough – Signora has a similar profile to her stable's other juvenile winners this week and looks a surefire improver here 3.05pm: Commonwealth Cup (Group One) Charlie Brooks – Babouche. It's a choice between the 1000 Guineas form from Newmarket and the Curragh and Colin Keane is presumably on the right Juddmonte horse Marcus Armytage – Fast American filly, Shisospicy, has won over five and a half. Slight question mark over six but possibly quickest in field Marlborough – Rayevka travelled so strongly in her latest victory in France and she is good enough to threaten the market principles at good odds 3.40pm: Duke of Edinburgh Stakes (Handicap) Charlie Brooks – French Duke will have been trained all year for this and James Doyle has picked this rather than Wathnan Racing's other runner Marcus Armytage – Hand of God won last year's Golden Gates. Forget his comeback run, today's the day Marlborough – Signs are that Almosh'her is better than a handicapper and has been bought by Wathnan Racing recently. His wide draw is a plus over this distance 4.20pm: Coronation Stakes (Group One) Charlie Brooks – January was never going to be O'Brien's first string for the Irish 1000 Guineas. Could have come on a lot for that run and Ryan Moore's choice Marcus Armytage – Chantilly Lace was two and half lengths off Desert Flower in Guineas on seasonal debut Marlborough – Dropping Falakeyah to a mile could be a shrewd move and she looks a Group 1 winner in waiting 5pm: Sandringham Stakes (Handicap) Charlie Brooks – Saariselka. Ed Walker's horses are running really consistently and this filly looks rock solid Marcus Armytage – Oolong Poobong took apart Haydock handicap last time and is on the improve Marlborough – Dash Of Azure showed promise last year in some good races and won cosily on return. She is well handicapped for Ralph Beckett. 5.35pm: King Edward VII Stakes (Group Two) Charlie Brooks – Step up to mile and a half should suit Amiloc and trainer has held back from some bigger fights to wait for this Marcus Armytage – Amiloc is unbeaten and was a wide-margin winner of last two starts. If not a gelding might have gone for Derby Marlborough – Puppet Master was one of his stable's Derby trial winners and they look to have a good hand in this division 6.10pm: Palace of Holyroodhouse (Handicap) Charlie Brooks – Realign is very lightly raced and has bags of improvement left to come Marcus Armytage – Stormy Impact won the Epsom Dash and comes here in good form Marlborough – Realign has always been well regarded and looks well handicapped off 93 with the drop to this stiff five furlongs looking like a good next step Royal Ascot results Thursday, June 18 2.30pm: Norfolk Stakes Charles Darwin 8/13F Wise Approach 10/1 Sandal's Song 9/1 3.05pm: King George V Stakes Merchant 3/1F Serious Contender 7/1 Pantile Warrior 40/1 Nautical Force 25/1 3.40pm: Ribblesdale Stakes Garden Of Eden 7/1 Understudy 40/1 Catalina Delcarpio 2/1F 4.20pm: Ascot Gold Cup Trawlerman 85/40F Illinois 9/4 Dubai Future 28/1 5pm: Britannia Stakes Arabain Story 15/2 La Botte 7/1 Fearnot 12/1 Dividend 50/1 5.35pm: Hampton Court Stakes Trinity College 5/2F Tornado Alert 9/1 Glittering Legend 11/1 6.10pm: Buckingham Palace Stakes Wednesday, June 18 2.30: Queen Mary Stakes True Love 9/4F Flowerhead 100/1 Lennilu 11/2 Cardiff By The Sea 11/1 Staya 16/1 3.05pm: Queen's Vase Carmers 9/2 Furthur 20/1 Rahiebb 9/1 3.40pm: Duke of Cambridge Stakes Crimson Advocate 13/2 Cinderella's Dream 5/4F Fallen Angel 6/1 4.20pm: Prince of Wales's Stakes Ombudsman 7/1 Anmaat 5/1 See The Fire 7/2 5pm: Royal Hunt Cup My Cloud 3/1F Bullet Point 11/1 Bopedro 50/1 Greek Order 22/1 5.35pm: Kensington Palace Stakes Miss Information 11/1 Snellen 25/1 Chesire Dancer 20/1 Muddy Mooy 33/1 6.10pm: Windsor Castle Stakes Havana Hurricane 7/1 Dickensian 20/1 Azizam 7/1 Rogue Legend 4/1 Tuesday, June 17 2.30pm: Queen Anne Stakes Docklands 14/1 Rosallion 5/2F Cairo 100/1 Notable Speech 4/1 3.05pm: Coventry Stakes Gstaad 7/2F Do Or Do Not 80/1 Coppull 66/1 Andab 5/1 3.40pm: King Charles III Stakes American Affair 11/1 Frost at Dawn 28/1 Regional 9/1 Starlust 9/1 4.20pm: St James's Palace Stakes Field of Gold 8/11F Henri Matisse 4/1 Ruling Court 4/1 5pm: Ascot Stakes Ascending 20/1 Nurburing 16/1 Comfort Zone 33/1 Leinster 25/1 Divine Comedy 28/1 5.35pm: Wolferton Stakes Haatem 8/1 Galen 13/2 King's Gambit 4/1F Enfjaar 5/1 6.10pm: Copper Horse Stakes French Master 5/2F Caballo De Mar 13/2 Samui 20/1 Barnso 14/1 Aeronautic 7/1 Royal Ascot Saturday racecard 2.30pm: Chesham Stakes (Listed, 7f, two-year-olds, £110,000) 3.05pm: Hardwicke Stakes (Group Two, 1m4f, four-year-olds and older, £250,000) 3.40pm: Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (Group One, 6f, four-year-olds and older, £1,000,000) 4.20pm: Jersey Stakes (Group Three, 7f, three-year-olds, £150,000) 5pm: Wokingham Stakes (Heritage Handicap Class Two, 6f, three-year-olds and older, £175,000) 5.35pm: Golden Gates Stakes (Handicap Class Two, 1m2f, three-year-olds, £110,000) 6.10pm: Queen Alexandra Stakes (Conditions Class Two, 2m6f, four-year-olds and older £110,000)

Royal Ascot day two: Tips and racecards for tomorrow's racing
After a suitably exciting opening day of Royal Ascot, it is time to draw breath and ready yourself for the second instalment. Day two of the meeting is all about the Prince Of Wales's Stakes (4.20), which pitches some of the best middle-distance horses in the world against one another around Ascot's round course Below, our experts give their selections for every race on the card as well their best bet (Nap) on Wednesday. Check back here once racing kicks-off for results. Royal Ascot day two tips 2.30pm: Queen Mary Stakes (Group Two) Charlie Brooks – Society Kiss broke track record on debut at Ascot. Classy recruit from breeze-up sales. Marcus Armytage – Spicy Marg was impressive on her Newmarket debut despite being the outsider of the field. Still going the right way at home. Marlborough – Trainer Michael Bell was bullish about Spicy Marg before her debut and it was an impressive win in a fast time. 3.05pm: Queen's Vase (Group Two) Charlie Brooks – Asmarani has shaped well over a shorter trip and has plenty of stamina on both sides of his pedigree. Marcus Armytage – From a shrewd Irish outfit who would not be bringing him for the benefit of his health, Carmers won both his starts and we definitely haven't seen the best of him yet. Marlborough – Shackleton was crying out for this sort of stamina test last year. Satisfactory return in May and Aidan O'Brien is stacked in this division. 3.40pm: Duke of Cambridge Stakes (Group Two) Charlie Brooks – Cinderella's Dream was really impressive when she quickened from the back of the field at Newmarket last start. (NAP) Marcus Armytage – It is hard to see a 3lb penalty stopping Cinderella's Dream in her current form. Marlborough – One Look was a filly destined for the top as a two year old and has returned this season threatening to fulfil her potential. 4.20pm: Prince of Wales's Stakes (Group One) Charlie Brooks – Anmaat can turn the tables with Los Angeles on a different track which might suit better. Marcus Armytage – See The Fire put in an extraordinary performance in at York winning by 12 lengths and unless that was a complete fluke she is over-priced here. Marlborough – Los Angeles is a quality colt who likes quick ground and has a great attitude in a finish. There are doubts about some of the others in that regard. 5pm: Royal Hunt Cup (Heritage Handicap) Charlie Brooks – Epictetus ran nicely for new trainer on only run this season. Marcus Armytage – Ancient Rome has been contesting Group races recently and will appreciate the return to a handicap off a reducing mark. A big price for a horse of his ability. Marlborough – Ancient Rome looks well handicapped having been dropped from 110 to 102 since finishing a close second in an Ascot Group Two last Summer. (NAP) 5.35pm: Kensington Palace Stakes Charlie Brooks – Rainbows Edge is a course-and-distance winner and officially top rated. Marcus Armytage – Rainbows Edge is the day's Royal representative. She's lightly raced, still improving and unbeaten over a mile. Marlborough – Unassuming sneaks into the bottom of the weights here having won last week and she will like the fast pace to aim at. 6.10pm: Windsor Castle Stakes (Listed) Charlie Brooks – Azizam should outrun his odds after a sparkling debut at Hamilton. Havanna Grey is a good sire for this race. Marcus Armytage – Tough Critic overcame all sorts of difficulties to win at Keeneland first time out, US horses are often undone by soft ground here but that, at least, won't happen today. Marlborough – This stiff five furlong test looks tailor-made for Shaman Champion who travelled supremely well when winning on debut.

Royal Ascot day 1: Tips and racecards for today's racing
The opening day of Royal Ascot is special for many reasons but chief among them is the bounty of top-class racing there is to enjoy. The only one across the five days to feature three Group One races, today's action will be truly exhilarating. The three Group Ones – the Queen Anne Stakes (2.30), the King Charles III Stakes (3.40) and the St James's Palace Stakes (4.20) – are among the most competitive races of the entire week and Telegraph Sport is here to help you find the winner. There will be extra attention on the Ascot Stakes (5.00) with Reaching High set to go off favourite in the colours of the King and Queen. Below, our experts give their selections for every race on the card as well their best bet (Nap) on Tuesday. Check back here once racing kicks-off for the results. Royal Ascot Tuesday tips 2.30pm: Queen Anne Stakes (Group One) Charlie Brooks – Dancing Gemini does not have to find much improvement to reverse Lockinge Stakes form with Lead Artist. Marcus Armytage – Lead Artist. Nothing wrong with his Lockinge win, going away at the finish, and should relish Ascot's stiff mile. Marlborough – Notable Speech should be suited by the stiff Ascot mile and fitness is sure to have improved for his reappearance fourth at Newbury. 3.05pm: Coventry Stakes (Group Two) Charlie Brooks – Aidan O'Brien's second string quite often represents good value and so it's Warsaw for me. Marcus Armytage – American Gulf was obviously showing up well at home to justify favouritism first time out. Trainer Paul Cole used to farm these races. Marlborough – Rock On Thunder did well to win in tricky conditions on debut and the third and fifth from that race won at the weekend. 3.40pm: King Charles III Stakes (Group One) Charlie Brooks – Mgheera is going in the right direction for her new trainer. Marcus Armytage – Believing consistently found one or two too good last year, but she's now in foal to Frankel and it's amazing how often pregnancy in a mare can bring out some improvement. Marlborough – Believing seemed to be better than ever in April when winning at Meydan and deserves to win a Group 1 on these shores. 4.20pm: St James's Palace Stakes (Group One) Charlie Brooks – Field Of Gold is the best three year old colt in Europe. (NAP) Marcus Armytage – I'm not sure Field Of Gold is way clear of either Henri Matisse or Ruling Court, but he appears to hold the aces in a race for the ages. Marlborough – Field Of Gold will enjoy the likely pacemakers as much as his opponents and the most impressive Guineas winner out of the three in the field can land the spoils. 5pm: Ascot Stakes (Handicap) Charlie Brooks – Ascending for Henry de Bromhead. Irish National Hunt trainers do well in these staying handicaps. Marcus Armytage – All eyes will be on Royal runner Reaching High but stablemate Poniros, who won the Triumph Hurdle at 100-1, can spoil the party. Marlborough – Willie Mullins is usually a trainer to keep on the right side of in these races and two of Reaching High's last three runs suggest this stamina test will suit. 5.35pm: Wolferton Stakes (Listed) Charlie Brooks – Ecureuil Secret was hugely impressive at Epsom – he can back up here. Marcus Armytage – Ecureuil Secret was excellent at Epsom and should come on for the run. The only concern is the quick ground. (NAP) Marlborough – This has been the plan for Sons And Lovers all spring and the form of his two warm-up runs in Ireland couldn't have worked out better. (NAP) 6.10pm: Copper Horse Stakes (Handicap) Charlie Brooks – You just can't ignore the Willie Mullins/Ryan Moore combination. Charlus is the one.

Royal Ascot day 1: Tips, racecards and results for tomorrow's racing
The opening day of Royal Ascot is special for many reasons but chief among them is the bounty of top-class racing there is to enjoy. The only across the five days to feature three Group-1 races, tomorrow's action will be truly exhilarating. The three Group 1s – the Queen Anne Stakes (2.30), and King Charles III Stakes (3.40) and the St James's Palace Stakes (4.20) – are among the most competitive races of the entire week and Telegraph Sport is here to help you find the winner. There will be extra attention on the Ascot Stakes (5.00) with the Reaching High set to go off favourite in the colours of the King. Below, our experts give their selections for every race on the card as well their best bet (NAP) on Tuesday. Check back here once racing kicks-off for the results. Royal Ascot Tuesday tips 2.30pm: Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1) Charlie Brooks – Dancing Gemini has got to find much improvement to reverse Lockinge Stakes form Marcus Armytage – Lead Artist. Nothing wrong with his Lockinge win, going away at the finish, should relish Ascot's stiff mile. Marlborough – Notable Speech should be suited by the stiff Ascot mile and fitness is sure to have improved for his reappearance. 3.05pm: Coventry Stakes (Group 2) Charlie Brooks – Aidan O'Brien's second string quite often represent good value and so it's Warsaw for me Marcus Armytage – American Gulf is obviously showing up well at home to justify favouritism first time out. Trainer used to farm these races. Marlborough – Rock On Thunder did well to win in tricky conditions on debut and the third and fifth from that race won at the weekend. 3.40pm: King Charles III Stakes (Group 1) Charlie Brooks – Mgheera is going in the right direction for her new trainer. Marcus Armytage – Believing consistently found one or two too good last year but in foal to Frankel and it's amazing how often pregnancy in a mare can bring out some improvement Marlborough – Believing seemed to be better than ever in April when winning in Meydan and deserves to win a Group 1 on these shores. 4.20pm: St James's Palace Stakes (Group 1) Charlie Brooks – Field of Gold is the best three year old colt in Europe. (NAP) Marcus Armytage – I'm not sure Field of Gold is way clear of either Henri Matisse or Ruling Court but he appears to hold the aces in a race for the ages. Marlborough – Field Of Gold will enjoy the likely pacemakers as much as his opponents and the most impressive Guineas winner out of the three in the field. 5pm: Ascot Stakes (Handicap) Charlie Brooks – Ascending. Irish National Hunt trainers do well in these staying handicaps. Marcus Armytage – All eyes will be on the King's Reaching High but stable-mate Poniros won the Triumph Hurdle at 100-1. Marlborough – Willie Mullins usually a trainer to keep on the right side of in these races and two of this Reaching High's last three runs suggest this test will suit. 5.35pm: Wolferton Stakes (Listed) Charlie Brooks – Ecureuil Secret was hugely impressive at Epsom – can back up here. Marcus Armytage – Ecureuil Secret was excellent at Epsom, should come on for the run. Only concern is the quick ground. (NAP) Marlborough – This has been the plan for Sons And Lovers all Spring and the form of his two warm-up runs in Ireland couldn't have worked out better. (NAP) 6.10pm: Copper Horse Stakes (Handicap) Charlie Brooks – You just can't ignore Willie Mullins/Ryan Moore combination. Charlus is the one. Marcus Armytage – My Mate Mozzie was unner-up a year ago. One pound higher this time but has apprentice find of the season, Warren Fentiman, taking 5bs off. Marlborough – French Master was brought by Wathnan Racing after an impressive victory last time and he should continue to run well while still in handicap company.
