Royal Ascot Day 2 Lucky 15 tips
The first horse in this Lucky 15 bet is SHACKLETON in the Group 2 Queen's Vase (3.05). A low draw is handy in this 1m 6f race, so he looks well berthed in stall three, and he's a likely improver for Aidan O'Brien, who has trained the winner of this race five times in the past 10 years.
Even under a 3lb penalty, CINDERELLA'S DREAM has strong claims in the following race, the Duke of Cambridge Stakes (3.40), another Group 2 contest over a mile. She steps down in trip but has a good change of pace and most of her main rivals ideally want further.
The Royal Hunt Cup (5.00) is one of Royal Ascot's biggest handicap races and Sky Bet is paying out on seven places. SILAWI looks to have fair claims of getting in among these positions. He won well at Windsor on his recent stable debut and he's still well weighted under his penalty.
The final leg of this Lucky 15 bet is OLD IS GOLD in the closing race of the day, the 5f Windsor Castle Stakes (6.10). He confirmed his debut promise when winning a strong Beverley race in a good time and he has decent claims of making the first five, which Sky Bet is paying out on in this race.
Shackleton (3.05, Ascot) @ 11/4 with Sky Bet (1/5 for first 4 places)
Cinderella's Dream (3.40, Ascot) @ 13/8 with Sky Bet (1/5 for first 3 places)
Silawi (5.00, Ascot) @ 20/1 with Sky Bet (1/5 for first 7 places)
Old Is Gold (6.10, Ascot) @ 11/2 with Sky Bet (1/5 for first 5 places)
A £0.10p each-way Lucky 15 – for a total stake of £3 – on those four horses offers a potential return of £294.94.
Royal Ascot Day 2 each-way tip
OLD IS GOLD looks a sound bet at 11/2 in the Windsor Castle Stakes (6.10), with Sky Bet paying five places for each-way bets.
His debut third over course and distance is strong form and he confirmed that promise when winning another decent race at Beverley in a sharp time.
Last year's winner of the Beverley race went on to win the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot. In addition, Old Is Gold's trainer Andrew Balding saddled the winner of the Beverley event in 2022, Chateau, who went on to finish fourth in the Windsor Castle Stakes.
There seems a fair chance this one can get in the money as well and he might prove good enough to win.

King and Queen welcome Peter Phillips' girlfriend to Royal Ascot
The King and Queen enjoyed a day at the races as they welcomed the girlfriend of the Princess Royal's son to the royal fold. Charles and Camilla hosted guests in the royal box on the first day of Royal Ascot including the King's nephew Peter Phillips and his partner, NHS nurse Harriet Sperling. She made an appearance for the first time in the carriage procession the royal family make onto the famous Berkshire racecourse to signal the start of the day. The royal procession is celebrating its 200th anniversary, a tradition begun during the reign of George IV in 1825 when the monarch was accompanied by the Duke of Wellington. The King and Queen rode in the first carriage with Prince Faisal, a member of the Saudi royal family, and Lady Sarah Keswick, one of the Queen's official companions. Behind them travelled the Princess Royal with Camilla's sister Annabel Elliot and the Duke and Duchess of Wellington and they were followed by a coach carrying Anne's son Peter Phillips and his girlfriend. Other royals spotted among the crowds included Princess Beatrice and her mother Sarah, Duchess of York and Zara and Mike Tindall. The head of state and his wife have continued Queen Elizabeth II's close association with the Berkshire race meet but they had no luck with the sport of Kings when their horse Reaching High was well beaten in the Ascot Stakes. The late Queen was a passionate owner and breeder of thoroughbreds and had more than 20 Royal Ascot winners during her 70-year reign. Charles and Camilla have taken on her stable of horses and enjoyed their first Royal Ascot winner in 2023 when their horse Desert Hero triumphed in the King George V states.

ETHAN WHEATLEY inspired an incredible comeback for the England U19s against Germany at the Euros. The Manchester United wonderkid netted a crucial goal as the Young Lions battled back from 5-1 down. 2 2 Noah Darvich and Said El Mala put the Germans 2-0 up inside 31 minutes. Fulham 's Joshua King got England back into the game before Germany took full control with three more goals. England appeared down and out until they pulled off a miraculous fightback in the second half. Wheatley, 19, scored in the 52nd minute to close the gap to three and salvage some hope. Reiss-Alexander Russell-Denny, Zach Abbott, and Jesse Shaun Derry then all scored before the 64th minute to level the score in a stunning 11-MINUTE turnaround. Fans were left stunned by the efforts of the teenagers at the Stadionul Arcul de Triumf in Bucharest, Romania. Many took to social media to heap praise on the players. One posted: "This is all-timer stuff." JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS A second wrote: "German keeper gone full Mexico 70 - Peter Bonetti." A third commented: "As the Germans should know, 5-1 really isn't a dangerous lead." Thomas Tuchel discusses England future after World Cup A fourth said: "If only the men's team did that!" Another added: "One of the best games I've seen in ages. Brilliant from England." The result leaves England's U19s second in Group B, trailing just their next opponents, Holland. Germany will not have to wait long for a chance of revenge over England. The U21s will face off tomorrow night at their age-level Euros in Slovakia.
