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

Saturday's best bets ranked in order of confidence by our top tipsters

Ace tipster

Hukum (3.40 Ascot)

An exciting middle-distance prospect who should have enough to beat a largely exposed Hardwicke field.
Keith Melrose

Speed figures

Fresh (5.00 Ascot)

Recorded a personal best on the clock over course and distance last time, which is invariably a positive pointer.
Dave Edwards

Eyecatcher

Point Lonsdale (2.30 Ascot)

Immediately earmarked for this race after creating a lasting impression on his debut over this 7f trip at the Curragh 17 days ago.
Dave Randall

Handicappers' nap

Stratum (6.10 Ascot)

Pick of the weights on his win in the 2019 Cesarewitch and a career-best effort when runner-up in last year's Lonsdale Cup. Won't mind conditions and rates as the one to beat.
Paul Curtis

Dark horse

Japan (3.40 Ascot)

Won the King Edward VII Stakes here two years ago. Disappointing campaign last season, but back in the winner's enclosure at Chester's May meeting and should go well with conditions to suit.
