Punters' pals: three runners popular on day five of Royal Ascot

Natalie's Joy (2.30)5-4 from 7-4

Punters are aiming to get off to a flying start on the last day of Royal Ascot by backing the Mark Johnston-trained filly for the opening Chesham Stakes.

Johnston claimed the Albany with a similar type in Main Edition yesterday and this half-sister to five winners looked something special when winning on her debut at Goodwood.

There is talk Natalie's Joy is the trainer's top two-year-old and Betway report she is being "smashed up" in the betting.

Merchant Navy (4.20)7-2 from 9-2

Aidan O'Brien won the Diamond Jubilee with an Australian import in Starspangledbanner eight years ago and punters are expecting him to do the same with the Flemington Group 1 winner.

Merchant Navy scored on his Irish debut when taking the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes over today’s trip at the Curragh on Irish Guineas weekend last month.

He faces a big task against Harry Angel and Redkirk Warrior, who beat him in a Group 1 at Flemington in March, but he's the most popular of the trio in the betting.

Dreamfield (5.00)3-1 from 4

The Wokingham favourite is the key horse in the battle between punters and bookmakers on the fifth day of Royal Ascot.

His trainer John Gosden thinks he is a "silly price", but the weight of money shows many people disagree.

The unbeaten Godolphin colt, who won in eyecatching style over course and distance last month, is set to go off the shortest-priced Wokingham favourite this century and William Hill report him as their worst result for the day.
