Royal Ascot: ITV Racing Tips

Racing Post experts pick their best bet for the day for the fourth day of Royal Ascot in a bid to help you find more winners.

Jersey Stakes - EYE OF HEAVEN

Eye Of Heaven was an eyecatching winner of a competitive novice stakes over the Rowley Mile on his debut. There looked to be plenty more in the tank that day and given Mark Johnston’s ability at improving runners, it will take a good one to beat him. (Matt Boyle)

Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap - KEEP BUSY

Has run twice this season and, after not being disgraced in Group 3 company at Newcastle, was a fine second in a Listed race at Sandown under a penalty. She now drops into handicap company and the ground has come in her favour as she won a Listed race on heavy ground in France at the end of last season. (Paul Kealy)

Race 1 - 1.50 Ascot

Plenty of guesswork is involved with most of the runners being once-raced fillies who are inevitably open to varying degrees of progress. Judged solely on visual impressions, FLYING ALETHA tops the list having recorded an emphatic success at Gulfstream Park.

Race 2 - 2.00 Newmarket

This looks competitive for a 0-70. PRODUCTIVE is seemingly well regarded and gets the nod with his latest second having been boosted.

Race 3 - 2.25 Ascot

Judged on his debut win THE LIR JET looks likely to come home strongly, and he is taken to emulate his sire who won this race four years ago.

Race 4 - 3.00 Ascot

The key horse is last year's Derby winner ANTHONY VAN DYCK, who resumed with a fine second in the Group 1 Coronation Cup at Newmarket recently and is very much the one to beat at this lesser level if repeating that form on this relatively quick turnaround.

Race 5 - 3.35 Ascot

A fascinating renewal of this Group 1 contest in which the exciting PIERRE LAPIN can maintain his unbeaten record. Varian can ready one after a break and has his string in superb form.

Race 6 - 4.10 Ascot

Perhaps not the strongest of renewals and BERKSHIRE ROCCO appeals most after his second in a fast-run Derby trial. That Lingfield dress rehearsal for Epsom has produced five winners of this race since 2002.

Race 7 - 4.40 Ascot

The one to appeal most is UNIVERSAL ORDER, who showed a powerful turn of foot to run down a good horse when winning at Meydan two starts ago and has the potential to rate higher still than that form this year.
