Royal Ascot day 5 tips: six horses to back on Saturday

Handicappers' nap

Seraph Gabriel (5.35 Royal Ascot)

Didn't enjoy the run of the race when second on his reappearance in April, but still showed improvement, with the promise of better to come. That form has worked out well, with the winner leading home those on the 'wrong' side in the Britannia on Thursday, and there could be considerable improvement for the extra two furlongs today.

Eyecatcher

Donnacha O’Brien’s colt ran well in the Irish 2,000 Guineas last time and he has strong claims back in trip and down in grade.

Speed figures

Marvelman (4.20 Royal Ascot)

From a stable churning out winners,  Andrew Balding's colt has an improving timeline and the form of his recent Newmarket second is stacking up well.

Newmarket nap

Treanmor (2.30 Royal Ascot) 

The €2 million son of Frankel has been laid out for this since winning on his debut at Newmarket last month and is held in high regard at Charlie Appleby's yard.

Dark horse

Jasour (3.40 Royal Ascot)

No doubting his ability but has become disappointing. The drop to 5f hasn't really worked out and he reverts to 6f. If he can recapture his form of last season, it would be no surprise if he featured.
