LONGSHOT
ARABIAN LIGHT (5.00 Royal Ascot)
He was a good third on comeback at Newmarket last time and this trip on fast ground is ideal. He is a big price to make the frame.
EACH-WAY THIEF
GO for an each-way Patent on day two of Royal Ascot.
That's three singles, three doubles and a treble so we only need one winner for payout.
SPICY MARG (2.30) was impressive last time and can figure again.
RAHIEBB (3.05) went close at York and has scope to improve.
SEE THE FIRE (4.20) was supplemented for £70k after her brilliant York win last time.

Wednesday's Royal Ascot Tips & Day Two Best Bets
The 2025 Royal Ascot festival began with a bang on Tuesday and day two promises plenty more intrigue as another seven races take place on the famed course, with one Group 1 and three Group 2s included on Wednesday's card. The sole Group 1 race of the day is set up to be one of the best races of the week if the Tattersalls Gold Cup is anything to go by, as Los Angeles and Anmaat face off again in the Prince of Wales's Stakes after the former won by just half a length just under a month ago. It's Los Angeles who's the early favourite for the Prince of Wales at around 9/4 on betting sites, while Cinderella's Dream has the shortest Royal Ascot odds for one of Wednesday's other big races, the Duke of Cambridge Stakes. As usual with Royal Ascot, it's a day of high quality racing, kicking off with the Queen Mary Stakes at 14.30 before the Queen's Vase at 15.05. Here are our best bets for day two at Royal Ascot. Prince of Wales's Stakes Betting Preview (16.20, ITV1) Early favourite Los Angeles arrives at Ascot off the back of a brilliant win in the Tattersalls Gold Cup on Irish Guineas weekend, seeing off second-favourite Anmaat by around half a length last month. Los Angeles is the ante-post favourite at 9/4 on horse racing betting sites, with Anmaat slightly behind at 7/2. Further back, Map of Stars is offered at 4/1, having won both the Prix d'Harcourt and Prix Exbury so far in 2025. But this one looks like a straight battle between the two favourites, with the Tattersalls Gold Cup the only race of the season so far for Anmaat and just the second for Los Angeles. Ryan Moore timed his run perfectly at Curragh to steer Los Angeles to victory and he will once again be on board. That's enough to convince us to side with Aidan O'Brien's charge. /sport/ Duke of Cambridge Stakes Betting Tips (15.40, ITV1) The Duke of Cambridge Stakes is one of the main supporting races on Wednesday's card, ran over a straight mile for older fillies and mares. Most Royal Ascot betting sites make Cinderall's Dream the favourite off the back of her Dahlia Stakes win at Newmarket last month. However, the Godolphin horse will face competition from Fallen Angel, the 2024 Irish 1000 Guineas winner, who is priced at 3/1 on betting apps. And 2024 Duke of Cambridge Stakes winner Running Lion is given a chance at 7/1, though finishes of fifth and second at Newmarket and Haydock last month suggest the five-year-old may struggle to defender her title. The form of Cinderall's Dream is tough to ignore with seven wins from 10 starts and the way she won the Dahlia Stakes was mightly impressive. Fallen Angel's record might not read as well as her main rival, but she's been largely competing in Group 1s and has performed with credit since winning the Irish 1,000 Guineas. The best option may be to back Cinderella's Dream each-way at around 9/4 in a race where most bookmakers are paying out on three places as she's unlikely to be too far away from the front. When having a bet, it's vital to practice responsible gambling. When using gambling sites be aware that sports betting can be addictive. Please take steps to remain in control of your time and budget. The same applies whether you're using new betting sites, slot sites, casino sites, casino apps, or any other gambling medium. Even the most knowledgeable punter can lose a bet, so always stick to a budget and never chase your losses. It's particularly important not to get carried away by any free bets or casino offers you might receive, both of which are available in abundance on gambling sites, but must be approached with caution. You can stay in control by making use of the responsible gambling tools offered, such as deposit limits, loss limits, self-exclusion and time-outs.

Field Of Gold sparkles with decisive St James's Palace strike
John and Thady Gosden's colt had been a fast-finishing second behind Ruling Court in the 2000 Guineas before easily winning the Irish equivalent, while the French Guineas winner Henri Matisse was also running. There was no doubt who emerged as the best of the three though, as Colin Keane breezed through on the 8-11 favourite before bursting clear to beat Henri Matisse by three and a half lengths, with Ruling Court back in third. Field Of Gold has now charted the same route as his sire Kingman, who also suffered defeat at Newmarket before gaining Irish redemption and adding Royal Ascot glory when trained by John Gosden. 'Like father, like son,' said Gosden, in reference to Kingman's win in 2014. 'The nerves may have got to the trainer beforehand but thankfully not to the horse or the jockey. 'It was great, a great performance and Oisin (Murphy) did a nice job on Windlord setting an even pace and he came to the head of the straight and he had a lot of horse. 'For a moment I was thinking 'whoops, this is Ascot and it climbs and have we gone a bit soon'. I wasn't watching him, I was looking back as you always have to do here, but fortunately none of the dangers were coming to get him. 'He always impressed as a two-year-old but he was a big boy and slightly outgrew himself. We ran him in France which was a mistake in itself and I should have run him in the Dewhurst and I regret that. But this year he has been exemplary in everything he has done and he's a pleasure to train because he is a pretty relaxed character.' Gosden admitted the Irish 2,000 Guineas had not originally been part of Field Of Gold's intended campaign, which could influence where the colt heads next. He added: 'It was never the plan to go to Ireland and he's had a trial and two Guineas and now this which is a lot of racing and we're not even halfway through the season yet. 'Maybe (we'll) freshen him up now and go to the Sussex, but we will see. If we hadn't gone to Ireland, I would have been keen to go to the Eclipse. 'When they win like that and make it look easy they do take a lot out of themselves and I don't want to be someone seen running him back quick in an Eclipse straight off the back of this.' For Juddmonte's new retained rider it capped a fine first week in the hot seat for the Abdullah family, with the six-time Irish champion in no doubt he is in a privileged position, handed the reins to an exceptional talent. Keane said: 'He's a special horse and I'm lucky enough to join this team and to have a horse like him early on is amazing. I've had nothing compared to this and it's very special. 'He just proved what he did at the Curragh wasn't a mistake and it's similar to revving a motorbike, when you ask him it's instant. 'Without a doubt he's the best I've ridden. The next best would be Siskin who was in the same colours, but this lad is a level above, he's very special. 'I'm in a very privileged position to be in these colours and getting a horse like him is unbelievable. That was utterly sublime, Field Of Gold with a wow moment at #RoyalAscot — Adam Morgan (@Adam_Morgs) June 17, 2025 'I wasn't nervous, but there was plenty of anticipation and it was a very good renewal of the race. It was three Guineas winners taking each other on, but he's won like a very good horse. 'Ideally I would have liked to have been carried further into the race as he will only do so much once he got there. I didn't want to be a sitting duck there for them to catch me, but once he quickened up I thought they will do well to catch me. 'I couldn't wish for a better start, but when you're riding for this operation and this is the quality of horse you get, these are the opportunities you get and it's very special but also a bit of relief. 'He's following in the right footsteps and he just seems to be a horse who is getting better with racing and you can see the way he relaxes now. I'm just the man fortunate enough to be stepping in on him at the right time.' The writing was on the wall early for Ruling Court who never looked likely to confirm form with Field Of Gold. 'William (Buick) said he was never really travelling comfortably and at this level you need to be able to get up there and travel on the bridle to give your horse a breather,' said Charlie Appleby. 'It might be a bit too soon to say we'll be looking at an Eclipse but working back from the Juddmonte will be the most likely target.' Aidan O'Brien indicated Henri Matisse would likely stick at a mile.

Bell backing Spicy Marg to pack Ascot punch
The Starspangledbanner filly sparkled on her racecourse debut, coming home two and three-quarter lengths clear at Newmarket on Guineas weekend and Bell is delighted with preparations and the draw in Berkshire. Spicy Marg will be partnered by Kieran Shoemark, and Bell said: 'She's all locked and loaded and we're very happy with her well-being. 'It (the draw) looks good, we've got Staya on our inside and all the major players seem to be drawn between eight and 15, so I think they're all in our sights so I'm very happy with the draw. 'It is a step up but the clock seems to say that she deserves to be in the race and she looks smart at home, so we'll see what happens on the day.' The Karl Burke-trained Zelaina is another who made an impressive debut when scooting home by the same winning margin as Spicy Marg at Nottingham. Richard Brown, racing adviser to owners Wathnan, said: 'We were delighted with Nottingham and we were excited the day we bought her, we were excited when we heard the reports from Karl, but she had had an interrupted prep going into Nottingham. 'She had banged a knee and she had missed 10 days so was definitely undercooked going there. 'We definitely think there is more improvement to come and she was very impressive. You have to be really excited about her and she's definitely one of the big hopes of the week. 'It's a Queen Mary and lots of people are thinking they have a big hope, but we think we do and we just need that bit of luck. They will be spread across the track and it will be a big field and fingers crossed she can do the job as she's a filly we're really excited about.' American runner Lennilu puts her unbeaten record on the line after winning on the dirt at Keeneland and following it up with a turf victory at Gulfstream Park. Trainer Patrick Biancone, who began his career in France when he sent out back-to-back Arc winners in All Along and Sagace, is happy with preparations and reported his filly was unfazed by the trip from America. He said: 'She won her maiden easily. We then decided to train her hopefully for the Queen Mary and we won the prep race that was sponsored by Gulfstream. She won that easily too. We were expecting her to run well there, but expecting it is one thing, doing it is another. 'She travelled very well. She's walking around well now, she slept really well. We knew she'd travel well because when she ran in Keeneland she had to go 17 hours there and 17 more to come back and she took it very well. 'Ascot is a special place for every trainer in the world, especially the Royal meeting. I've been lucky in my life to have good horses and she's one of them. We're very happy.' Aidan O'Brien will be represented by True Love, while other major players include Ralph Beckett's Society Kiss and George Scott's Staya in a field of 25.
