Harry Wilson strikes with 7-1 and 3-1 winners after yesterday's 11-1 success - find out his remaining day two fancies at Royal Ascot

Harry Wilson found 11-1 American Affair on the opening day of the royal meeting and returns with his advice for all seven races on day two of Royal Ascot on Wednesday . . .
2.30 Royal Ascot
Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2), 5f
Harry's tip: Society Kiss
Society Kiss is bred to be fast, being by Norfolk winner A'Ali out of a mare who has produced three winning sprinters including the useful Just A Spark, and she created a fine impression when winning over course and distance on her debut last month. She produced a telling burst of speed to win well and clocked a fast time in the process – she equalled No Nay Never's juvenile course record – while her track experience will stand her in good stead.

3.05 Royal Ascot
Queen's Vase (Group 2), 1m6f
Harry's tip: Asmarani
Francis Graffard won the Prix Hocquart last year with subsequent Royal Ascot winner Calandagan and has followed a similar path with Asmarani, who probably bumped into one in that contest this year, given the winner has gone in again and has the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris as a target. He stayed on strongly over 1m4f in his two maidens and was again doing all his best work at the finish last time, shaping as though this extra emphasis on stamina would suit. He should handle better ground.
3.40 Royal Ascot
Duke of Cambridge Stakes (Group 2), 1m
Harry's tip: Fallen Angel
Fallen Angel landed her second Group 1 win when dominating last year's Irish 1,000 Guineas from the front and looks a prime candidate now down in class, given she does not have to carry a penalty. She led until over a furlong out in a strong-looking Lockinge on her reappearance, shaping as if she needed the run, and she should relish her first go on this course, given her best form has come round a bend on a right-handed course.
4.20 Royal Ascot
Prince of Wales's Stakes (Group 1), 1m2f
Harry's tip: Ombudsman
Ombudsman only made his debut this time last year, but he won a Listed contest in the manner of one who was going places less than two months later and backed up that impression with a Group 3 success at Longchamp before being put away. He did nothing but enhance his reputation on his reappearance in the Brigadier Gerard, despite being a beaten favourite, as he was unlikely to have been fully wound up and the classy winner was in receipt of 3lb and had the benefit of race-fitness. He improved his best Racing Post Rating by 8lb, which already does not leave him much to find with the principals, and he is likely to be spot on now.
5.00 Royal Ascot
Royal Hunt Cup, 1m
Harry's tip: My Cloud
My Cloud bolted up on his handicap debut at Ascot last month in a race Roger Varian won in 2018 in similar fashion with Mountain Angel, who went to score in Listed company and place at Group level. Similar things could await my selection, who defied a 10lb rise at Newbury last time despite pulling hard and coming from much further back than ideal. That form is solid (second won next time) and he has got away lightly with a 5lb rise, given he recorded an RPR of 106 (11lb higher than his official mark of 95). This half-brother to smart miler Palace Pier should continue to improve and is my biggest handicap fancy of the week.
5.35 Royal Ascot
Kensington Palace Stakes, 1m
Harry's tip: Serialise
The Hunt Cup had a huge bearing on the new iteration of the Kensington Palace last year and that theme is likely to continue. My selection in the previous race is drawn in stall 32, so I am sticking with those drawn higher and siding with Serialise (stall 24). She ran a cracker from the front when returned to this trip in a premier handicap at the Curragh last month, finishing second behind the smart Skukuza, who was vying for favouritism in the Hunt Cup before being ruled out. She produced a career-best RPR from 3lb out of the weights that day but runs off her correct mark here and it is interesting that Shane Foley is slated to ride at his lowest weight in the last 12 months.
6.10 Royal Ascot
Windsor Castle Stakes (Listed), 5f
Harry's tip: Havana Hurricane
There was plenty to like about the way Havana Hurricane landed a Goodwood novice last month, as he was slowly away but drew impressively clear late on having cruised into contention. The form has been franked since, with wins for the second, third and eighth, while he had the Brocklesby runner-up more than five lengths behind too. Havana Hurricane ran a cracker in the Woodcote last time, being one of the few runners on the card who got into contention from off the pace despite not handling the track that well, and the return to 5f on this stiff track could suit ideally.
