Hollie Doyle enjoyed her second career success at Royal Ascot in the final race on day one on Tuesday, winning on 33-1 outsider Amtiyaz in the Copper Horse Stakes, and she has more chances on Wednesday's card. Here's a rundown of Doyle's five day-two mounts.


Royal Ascot Wednesday: Hollie Doyle's five rides on day two

White Jasmine
Queen Mary Stakes (2.30)

It would be folly to rule out any George Boughey-trained two-year-old given the trainer's 45 per cent strike-rate with juveniles on turf this season but White Jasmine looks up against it.

She has been beaten in both starts in novice company and a massive step forward is required for her to be involved at the finish.

Spotlight comment

Disappointing at Haydock last week and has plenty to find with the principals on form


Royal Ascot tips: five horses to back on day two of the royal meeting


Duke of Cambridge Stakes (3.40)

The recent Princess Elizabeth Stakes scorer is a player in this Group 2 event after a peak performance on good to soft ground at Epsom 11 days ago.

She will try to repeat her front-running tactics with Fooraat her likely main rival for the lead, and if not finding the ground too quick she would have solid each-way claims.

Spotlight comment

Capitalised on easy lead at Epsom; possible she'll again have run of race but not definite

Royal Hunt Cup (5.00)

This five-year-old has lots of class and finished strongly for a neck second at Doncaster at the start of the month.

Beat Le Bon, trained by Richard Hannon, won two valuable handicaps at Goodwood in 2019 and is 2lb well in after his latest run. There is lots to like about his chance, although his draw in stall two is a concern with two winners from a single-figure draw in the last ten runnings.

Spotlight comment

Strong finisher at Doncaster 12 days ago; due to go up 2lb in future; not ruled out


The Punt Daily: Tom Collins' free horse racing tips on day two


Windsor Castle Stakes (5.35)

This Archie Watson-trained colt went close under a penalty when second at Redcar last time after a debut victory at Chelmsford. He looks all speed and may well outrun his odds.

He is one of three runners in the race for Watson and makes most appeal, with the stable successful here with Soldier's Call in 2018.

Spotlight comment

Went close under penalty at Redcar but has much more to do here; one of three for the yard

Pholas
Kensington Palace Stakes (6.10)

This is a big drop in class for the Boughey-trained filly but she looks vulnerable to less-exposed types.

It would be no surprise to see her run well given her sharp progress since joining the trainer last year, although a career-best effort on turf is required for her to be in the mix.

Spotlight comment

Excelled on AW in early part of year but progress has stalled since returned to turf


Four horses who will relish the quick ground on day two at Royal Ascot
