Welcome to Royal Ascot

I’m stepping in while Darren is away this week and I’m fortunate that it’s for one of my favourite weeks of the year!

Royal Ascot wastes no time and starts the meeting with the quality that it means to go on…

Will Notable Speech make it third time lucky at the meeting in the Queen Anne? I’m not sure, there’s plenty of talented opposition queuing up behind him in the market.

Aidan O’Brien has the top 2 in the betting in the Coventry – oppose him at your peril!

The Aussie raider, Overpass, bids to make it 3 from the last 5 in the King Charles III for the land down under.

Bow Echo vs Gstaad round 2 in the St James’s Palace.

It’s a great day and the bet I’m most keen on comes later in the piece and it’s Map Of Stars in the Wolferton Stakes at 5.35pm. There's a good bit of 9/1 knocking around at the moment.

His recent form figures of 735 don’t exactly bring much inspiration. However, those runs have all been at 12f. His 10f form is far better, with wins up to Group 2 level, a couple of Group 1 runner-ups and a fourth behind Ombudsman in the Prince Of Wales’s here last season. I’m banking on the return to this distance working the oracle today.

I’ll be posting all my bets on the Pep’s Big Race Tips service (which you can access below) all week if you want more of what you’re reading.

Hopefully your Royal Ascot gets off to a winning start!
