ROYAL ASCOT BETTING TIPS: Day four selections from Robin Goodfellow and Hollie Doyle
Dual Guineas heroine Beautiful has proven herself this season as head and shoulders above contemporaries above the mile and a repeat of one of her Classic the performances will probably prove good enough to complete the magnificent hockey club Group One.
Last month, the figure gurus marked the level she reached while routing her field in the Irish Guineas, and gave her a better performance than her horrific Newmarket victory. The visual impression certainly suggested so much.

Sheila Lavery recently suffered a devastating blow when she lost star Filly Lady Kaya in a training accident, but LIL GRAY was able to welcome the Meath Co-handler in this wide open competition.
The selection, however, looked at the potential star in the making during its two outings in Leopardstown (7f) and the Curragh (6f), with its latest performance being particularly impressive considering the way in which it is through a real-run affair traveled.
There are many dangers to people such as Galadriel on the York debut), JM Jackson (screaming for a move to 6f) and emphatically Lingfield-scorer Last Surprise all expected to leave their initial efforts behind them .

There is little doubt that the mile from Newmarket has stretched the endurance of Ten Sovereigns and today's journey will be much more suited to horses blessed with much speed.
However, Jash, who will be ridden by Jim Crowley, has only half a length to find with the market leader in their return to the Middle Park Stakes last season and the shape of his 7f comeback victory in listed company has worked out very nicely with the second and fourth home win without
] Dual Guineas heroine HERMOSA has proven itself this season to be more than a mile above contemporaries and a repeat of one of her classic versions will probably prove to be good enough to complete the magnificent Group One hat trick.
Last month, the figure gurus emphasized the level she reached in her routing field in the Irish Guineas, and gave her a better performance than her sandy Newmarket victory. The visual impression certainly suggested so much. Of course there is a chance that a zealous spring and early summer have taken the edge off Galileo's daughter.
But that was her authority and superiority in Ireland the last time defeating Pretty Pollyanna that it will be.
A potential stumbling block is stall 10, which could make it a difficult task for Ryan Moore to dominate his field in the way he did at the Curragh, but Hermosa bragged the class for a wide berth to overcome and confirm the placement with her old opponent. For a horse that makes its seasonal comeback in a classic, Pretty Pollyanna acquitted herself admirably and can finish the progressive Jubiloso and the French Guineas winner Castle Lady for the runner-up berth
SELECTION: HERMOSA EVANS
The daughter of the wedding made a pleasant start to race in a softly ground Newbury girl in Salisbury and Kempton, who displayed a beautiful attitude on both occasions. She will probably be the recipient of a leisurely ride from Jamie Spencer, who has few peers on the right path at Ascot.
Nonchalance bounced off fast ground to win nicely at Newmarket and estimates a great danger as York will have its Scorer magnetic charm, which runs here instead of the coronation sticks.
DANGER: MAGNETIC CHARM 10-1
Johnny Drama has an entry for Group 1 later in season and is a horse to stay on-side, judging by his performance in Ireland.
It is also difficult to separate Baghdad and Corgi – whose trainer, Hughie Morrison, has won with two of his three runners in this race – after twelve months of great finishing of the three-year 12-time handicap
The latter with a good degree of promise in York at his comeback of a wind operation behind the smart First Eleven and FUJAIRA PRINS. The latter, however, is marginally preferable because he will not stand in the way of any sap in the ground, while the manner in which he continued to respond to the pressure on the Knavesmire was particularly encouraging

I rode Archie Watson EXCLUSIVELY while she was only beaten by Good Vibes in Salisbury and tried to give her weight. The form got a boost when Good Vibes won a hot race in York and Exclusivity is a leading player in the Albany Stakes. Trainer William Haggas has had a good week and his PABLO ESCOBARR, runner-up to the next Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck in the Lingfield Derby Trial, should come close in the Edward VII Stakes
HERMOSA, the winner of the English and Irish 1,000 Guineas, is a hot favorite for the Coronation Stakes and it's hard to see she's beaten. She is a straight forward, strong galloping mare and the track must play her strengths.

Royal Ascot 2019 Day 2: Robin Goodfellow’s racing tips – Best bets for Wednesday, June 19
Ryan Moore delivered another dazzling Royal Ascot performance with an opening-day double and MAGICAL (Ascot, 3.40) could continue the Ballydoyle domination on Wednesday afternoon.
Arizona vintage and Circus Maximus saw Moore share the day-one riding honors with Danny Tudhope, but with a number of fancied mounts this afternoon, the former champion will be targeting another successful day.
In Magical, the English maestro appears to have a willing and reliable ally for a fascinating renewal of the Group One Princes Of Wales's Stakes which has the potential to be the race of the meeting. Arc De Triomphe runner-up Sea Of Class and the highly talented Crystal Ocean provide stiff opposition, but Magical is fancied to conjure up another stunning performance.
Jockey Ryan Moore can score again on Magical in the Group One Princes Of Wales's Stakes

2.30 QUEEN MARY STAKES
Forecast rain could make fairly testing if it materializes and could play to the strengths of FINAL SONG given the manner of course and distance debut victory.
Displaying a professional attitude, the daughter of Dark Angel traveled powerfully before quickening to put six lengths between herself and toiling rivals in a matter of strides. Drawn alongside the two American speedballs (Anna's Fast and Kimari), Final Song should enjoy a good tow into the race and looks capable of delivering another big performance.
John Quinn sprang a 25-1 surprise in this race last year and Liberty Beach looks overpriced on the Beverley win, while the ground will be no issue for Partridge, who could outrun her tasty odds.
SELECTION: FINAL SONG
DANGER: LIBERTY BEACH
3.05 QUEEN'S VASE
With four victories in the past six runnings, trainer Aidan O'Brien has been the go-to man for this race and Western Australia and NORWAY appear to give him another excellent chance of success.
The former appreciated the step up in trip to score well at Navan last time but his stablemate is narrowly preferred as he was far from disgraced in the Derby when aggressively ridden and looks the type to improve again for a stiffer test or stamina.
Norway previously had no answer to the turn or foot displayed by Sir Dragonet at Chester but he didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages and looks capable of confirming placings with Dashing Willoughby, who also emerged with plenty of credit that day.
SELECTION: NORWAY
DANGER: DASHING WILLOUGhBY
3.40 PRINCE OF WALES'S STAKES
The presence of star fillies MAGICAL and Sea Of Class combined with classy male counterparts Crystal Ocean and Waldgeist could ensure this is a race for the ages.
Figures followers will note that Magical has recorded two of the best three career runs this season, an achievement that appears to find her trainer's view that she is in the form of her life this term. Admittedly, she has beaten the same horse in Flag Of Honor three times – on the last two occasions at very short prices – but the victories have been recorded emphatically and Latrobe, twice beaten by the selection this spring, ran a fine race in defeat yesterday in the Wolferton Stakes.
Trainer William Haggas will be buoyed by landing the aforementioned day one final with Addeybb, his first Royal win for some years, and Sea Of Class is reported to have been trained for the minute on her
On a line through the majestic Enable, there isn't a great deal to separate the two fillies, but Magical copes well with soft ground, is tactically versatile and stays 12 furlongs well so may just enjoy an edge over a horse that has not been seen since finishing an unlucky second in last year's Arc.
SELECTION: MAGICAL
DANGER: SEA OF CLASS
[1 9459018] 4.20 DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE STAKES
Any further softening in conditions will play to the strengths of I CAN FLY who posted a career last here autumn when chasing home Roaring Lion in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes under similar conditions.
Admittedly, she was a little below par at the Curragh last time but she was slowly away that day and found a track bias, which suited the front-running winner Beshaayir, all against her.
She was similarly slowly away in the Lockinge at Newbury yet emerged with a great deal of credit to take sixth and the performance of Lord Glitter suggests it is a piece of form worth noting. Rawdaa has caught the eye with tidy performances this term and rates a chief danger along with last year's Sandringham winner Agrotera.
SELECTION: I CAN FLY
DANGER : AGROTERA
5.00 ROYAL HUNT CUP
The Victoria Cup may prove a pivotal piece of form in deciphering this complex puzzle and Kynren and RAISING SAND could prove the duo to concentrate on.
The former ran yet another blinder at the Berkshire venue to chase home winner Cape Byron that day and the step up to a mile should see him on the scene again. However, that also applies to Raising Sand and he is marginally preferred.
Jamie Osborne's grand handicapper has run in a multitude of Ascot handicaps and he really caught the eye when a little isolated on the stands side rail in the Victoria Cup. The way in which Raising Sand charged home suggested he too would relish a stamina and any rain would improve his chance still further.
SELECTION: RAISING SAND (nap)
DANGER: KYNREN
5.35 WINDSOR CASTLE STAKES
It remains something of a mystery how SOUTHERN HILLS managed to get saved at Navan , but he could gain compensation given a more patient ride.
The imposing son of Gleneagles moved powerfully throughout that small-field contest and shot readily clear of his main market rival and odds-on favorite, Air Force Jet, looking sure to register a first career win.
It was wither a lack of concentration or greenness, but Southern Hills looked to pull himself up a little when hitting the front and allowed his rival to overhaul him late on. Hopefully, the selection will have been learned from that experience and Ryan Moore, in such an irresistible form on day one, can harness his undoubted ability and speed for a race-winning challenge.
SELECTION: SOUTHERN HILLS
DANGER: TEMPLE OF HEAVEN
HOLLIE DOYLE: FINAL SONG IS A BORN WINNER
SEA OF CLASS was a brilliant filly last season, winning two Group One races and only narrowly being beaten by Enable in the Arc.
There is a chance the filly trained by William Haggas could be better this season and she should be very tough to beat in a Prince of Wales's Stakes which is one of the races of the week with Crystal Ocean and Magical in opposition.
The Haggas team is in good form and had a winner with Addeybb on the opening day yesterday.
In the Queen Mary Stakes I like Saeed Bin Suroor's FINAL SONG. She is a course and distance winner which is a big plus for a two year old on this big stage.
NORWAY was eighth in the Derby and the extra two furlongs he faces in the Queen's Vase should be to his advantage
He is consistent and his career is going in the right direction. I ride Nate The Great in the race. He was only three lengths behind subsequent Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck when he was third in the Lingfield Derby Trial. We are hoping for a big run and he has a good each-way shout. ANNA NERIUM is tough and consistent and will love the dig in the ground she will encounter in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes after all yesterday's rain.

Royal Ascot 2019 Day 1: Robin Goodfellow’s racing tips – Best bets for Tuesday, June 18
Punters should be back Battaash (Ascot, 3.40) to smash his rivals for six in the King's Stand Stakes.
Victory for the flying five-year-old would silence the doubters who have been rounded on the selection since his eclipse in this event last year.
However, the selection looked back to form at Haydock last time and can restore his reputation on one day of the Royal meeting.
Battaash returned to form at Haydock and can land the King's Stand Stakes on Tuesday

2.30 QUEEN ANNE STAKES
Aidan O'Brien has found this a difficult race to win in the past decade, however LE BRIVIDO appears to have been trained with this day in mind since the start of the season and could reverse Lockinge Stakes placings with winner Mustashry.
The selection has four lengths to make up on the Newbury running, but he was poorly drawn that day and a sluggish exit from the stalls didn't aid his cause either.
If there is one track where a slow start can be an advantage then it is on Ascot's straight mile, where patient tactics can often reap rich dividends and Le Brivido's affinity for the track is already confirmed by a 2017 win in the Jersey Stakes at this meeting.
SELECTION: LE BRIVIDO
DANGER: PHOENIX OF SPAIN
3.05 COVENTRY STAKES
Both Arizona and Threat impressed in winning their respective maidens at the Curragh and Newmarket , but there was plenty of admire in the Goodwood performance of GUILDSMAN and he gains the vote.
Purchased at the Arqana Breeze Up Sales for £ 125,000, the son of Wootton Bassett still displayed signs of greenness in the early stages of his debut, but hey to the task before powering clear for a six-length success.
The speed figure recorded suggested Guildsman should be at home in this company. Though he lacks experience, his Breeze Up education should help in that respect. Arizona looks a threat to all considering how the clear clear last time.
SELECTION: GUILDSMAN
DANGER: ARIZONA
3.40 KING'S STAND
BATTAASH has been called some unkind names during his career, but when he is good he is exceptional and the signs this season suggestion he has returned to his best.
Connections report the five-year-old an easier horse to train this year and an emphatic victory in the Group Two Temple Stakes at Haydock seemed to confirm that view.
Admittedly, Battaash was beaten by Ascot specialist Blue Point (three wins from four at this venue) in this race 12 months ago, but the selection used a lot or petrol cutting out the running that day. Charlie Hills' speedster could gain revenue for that narrow defeat and reclaim his billing as one of the world's premier sprinters.
SELECTION: BATTAASH
DANGER: DC BLUE POINT
4.20 ST JAMES'S PALACE STAKES
Phoenix Of Spa in may have missed a tilt at the English Guinea, but the imposing son of Lope De Vega made up for lost time with an impressive all-the-way win in the Irish version (Skardu fourth).
Runner-up Too Darn Hot tried manfully to overhaul the winner that day but couldn't match his rival's power of a furlong out and it will be intriguing to see how Phoenix Of Spain is ridden today given the switch to aggressive tactics yielded a career-best display.
Too Darn Hot has found life tougher than when carrying all before him as a juvenile so the unexposed stablemate KING OF COMEDY could emerge as ch ief threat to Phoenix Of Spain.
It is interesting that trainer John Gosden is happy to be doubly represented in this event given the son of Kingman is 9lb behind the market leaders on official ratings and I thought the selection displayed a sharp turn or foot to win a decent renewal of Sandown's Listed Heron Stakes last time.
Admittedly, King Of Comedy possesses his quirks, but he is following the same program this year as last year's winner Without Parole so is clear thought capable of repeating history.
SELECTION: KING OF COMEDY
DANGER: PHOENIX OF SPAIN
5.00 ASCOT STAKES
Unsurprisingly given the distance, National Hunt trainers often find this a happy hunting ground.
Gordon Elliott and Nicky Henderson are doubly represented, while with Willie Mullins saddling the likely favorite Shower ldmeupbuttercup, the jumping boys again hold a strong hand. The fact Mullins relies on one entry could well be a tip in itself, but the Irish maestro's recent success in this event, allied with the booking of Ryan Moore, have ensured his five-year-old has been found in the market and is
Mengli Khan and BATTS ROCK provide a competitive threat to Elliott and the latter is preferred given his experience of the track.
SELECTION: BATTS ROCK [194590123] ]
DANGER: MENGLI KHAN
5.35 WOLFERTON STAKES
ELARQAM may never live up to the billing 5-1 shot for last year's Guineas, but his recent Goodwood victory was certainly a step in the right direction and he appeals as a likely winner of the final.
The manner of the emphatic two-and-a-half-length defeat of Willie John suggested the selection is beginning to find top stride once more after a spell in the wilderness, if he can build on that display from a decent stalls position, he could be difficult to resist here.
The Globe-trotting Magic Wand is a chief threat after a fine run in America, while Star Of Bengal is also an intriguing runner for a yard which has won four of the last eight runnings.
] SELECTION: ELARQAM
DANGER: WILLIE JOHN
HOLLIE DOYLE: PHOENIX CAN RISE TO THE OCCASION
PHOENIX OF SPAIN was a big brutal or a horse last season but he really matured and that showed in his performance when winning the Irish 2,000 Guineas.
Ascot is a track that will suit him and, after an interrupted preparation for his comeback, it will be interesting to see how much he has progressed in the St James's Palace Stakes. Queen Anne Stakes hope BARNEY ROY is an old favorite of mine.
He's a previous Royal Ascot winner who's back racing after proving infertile at stud. His latest win at Longchamp came with a lot of still in the tank. He likes the track and the ground should be in his favor.
I sat on THREAT at trainer Richard Hannon's stable and he was a striking yearling. He was an impressive debut winner at Newmarket and he should have improved a lot for that run. The looks to have a good chance at the Coventry Stakes.
