Royal Ascot Day 4 Tips
2:30PM Chesham Stakes: Powerful Matnookh the pick for the Chesham Stakes
🏇
Matnookh
📈
Odds: 15.0
MATNOOKH displayed plenty of ability in an eye catching debut third over 6f at Windsor recently. The £85,000 two-year-old purchase by Sea The Stars was slowly away, running ‘novicey’ in the early stages. He ran on powerfully once getting himself organised, finishing with plenty left in the locker. The rise in trip is only going to bring about improvement, and despite a big leap in class here, against similarly unexposed types, he could run far better than his double-figure odds suggest.
🏇
Count Palatine
📈
Odds: 34.0
COUNT PALATINE is another Windsor debutant who holds place credentials. The form of that contest took a huge boost this week when runner-up Inquisitively ran a blinder to grab third in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes on Wednesday. The way he came home against the stands’ rail gave encouragement of a forward effort next time and Is worth a small each-way wager, with the enhanced places on offer.

3:05PM Jersey Stakes: O’Brien and Moore the ice-cold combo for The Antarctic
🏇
The Antarctic
📈
Odds: 5.5
Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore have teamed up to perfection this week and could easily have another winner with THE ANTARCTIC. The Ballydoyle inmate was kept busy during a productive two-year-old career, culminating in a Group 3 success in France. He won at that standard second-time-out this campaign when narrowly winning at Naas. Making all that day, he showed a determined attitude to lead close home, suggesting this extra furlong would be within his compass, and arrives as the second best in on official ratings.
🏇
Mysterious Night
📈
Odds: 10.0
MYSTERIOUS NIGHT ran out an impressive Group 1 winner in Canada to end his top-notch two-year-old career. The Godolphin-owned Dark Angel gelding clearly appreciated the rattling-fast ground on that occasion, which bodes well for this assignment on a similarly quick surface. His flop on reappearance in the Group 3 Craven Stakes was obviously disappointing and he is worth another chance to confirm his immense ability from last season.

Mysterious Night E/W
3:40PM Hardwicke Stakes: Artorius to improve on third-place finish
🏇
Artorius
📈
Odds: 4.5
Last year’s third, ARTORIUS, holds huge claims of going two better in what could be one of the best finishes of the entire week. He thrives on a fast tempo up front, finding his best stride late in his races, just like last season, weaving his way through traffic to arguably be a little unfortunate not to win. His preparation has been better this campaign, arriving at Royal Ascot after a Group 1 victory at Randwick and a close-up fourth in a Group 1 event at Rosehill.
🏇
Run To Freedom
📈
Odds: 26.0
RUN TO FREEDOM, a half-brother to 2016 winner Twilight Son, finished tenth here in 2022, only beaten just over three lengths. Sprint king Henry Candy has prepared him excellently this time around, winning a Salisbury Listed event prior to this test. He can be hit or miss but often runs far better than his odds suggest, given a strong pace to aim at. Highfield Princess, Kinross and Art Power are likely to help force the pace.

4:20PM Platinum Jubilee Stakes: Top-class Deauville Legend tipped for glory
🏇
Deauville Legend
📈
Odds: 7.50
DEAUVILLE LEGEND is another top-class individual who returns after an absence. That isn’t a worry as he has shown winning form after a break. A Group 2 scorer at York last term (beating Grand Alliance), he subsequently finished an excellent fourth in the Group 1 Melbourne Cup Handicap. The quick ground is no problem to him, demonstrated by a fine second over track and trip in the 2022 King George VI Stakes, and a bold sighting is anticipated.
🏇
Pyledriver
📈
Odds: 8.50
PYLEDRIVER would appear the main danger, despite a long break, as a course-and-distance winner. He scored an impressive success when making all in the Group 1 King Geroge VI And Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes last term, and ought to relish the quick ground. If allowed an uncontested lead, he could be hard to catch and is 1lb clear of official ratings.

5:00PM Wokingham Stakes: First Folio an attractive option for Wokingham Stakes
🏇
First Folio
📈
Odds: 26.0
An ultra-competitive renewal of the Wokingham Stakes, with numerous leading contenders as per usual. FIRST FOLIO is one at a tasty each-way price, who deserves a second look from a high draw. He was sent off favourite for a hot York sprint handicap last time but had to coast home after suffering interference when the pace lifted. A sixth in this event last year, there is the possibility of a good tow into the race against the stands’ rail, from the same handicap mark.
🏇
Kape Moss
📈
Odds: 34.0
KAPE MOSS could run better than her odds suggest after an excellent start to his 2023 campaign. She won first up on the all-weather, prior to running a blinder at Epsom, powering home after a tardy beginning. A fourth and second in a brace of Listed events subsequently, continued her honest performances and she could prove to be well handicapped.

5:35PM Golden Gates Stakes: Have Secret one to watch for the penultimate Ascot clash
🏇
Have Secret
📈
Odds: 12.0
HAVE SECRET closed last season with a victory over this distance at Nottingham. Although raised 10lb since that impressive success, he has scope for progression after a thoroughly positive fourth in the London Gold Cup Handicap at Newbury. That race is working out exceptionally well this week, with the first, second and third all reaching the frame at Royal Ascot 2023. The eighth, Desert Hero, delivered a sensational last-gasp victory for His Majesty The King And Queen Elizabeth in the King George V Handicap Stakes on Thursday.
🏇
Londoner
📈
Odds: 29.0
LONDONER delivered back-to-back fourths in Group 3 company to start his 2023 season. His effort behind Spewell has been well advertised subsequently, with the latter producing an outstanding fourth in the Group 1 Epsom Oaks. An opening handicap mark of 100 may appeal harsh but she is bred to be smarter than a handicapper. His dam is a half-sister to a Group 2 scorer and a fast surface could spark significant improvement.

6:10PM Queen Alexandra Stakes: Dawn Rising to draw Ascot 2023 to a close
🏇
Dawn Rising
📈
Odds: 4.0
Stratum is chasing a remarkable third straight victory in this stamina-sapping contest, which is the longest flat race run in the UK. Akin to his previous successes in this race, the Willie Mullins-trained star was given a gentle reappearance and is likely to prove hard to beat. He is a ten-year-old, though, so could be the most vulnerable to younger legs than ever before. DAWN RISING is an obvious candidate after an excellent third in Group 3 company at Leopardstown. He is a 2m4f Grade 3 winner over hurdles and is one of the more up-and-coming individuals.
🏇
Run For Oscar
📈
Odds: 4.33
Seven-time winner RUN FOR OSCAR is another huge contender for trainer Charles Byrnes. Four of those successes have come on good ground and has the right profile for a long-distance test such as this. With a big field, he is likely to be seen to best affect, moving from a solid tempo.
