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

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

Eyecatcher

Patrick Sarsfield (5.35 Ascot)

Ran a solid race behind an improver on his seasonal reappearance and looks the one to beat at these weights.
Steffan Edwards

Ace tipster

Lope Y Fernandez (2.30 Ascot)

Speed figures

Gisburn (3.05 Ascot)

Earned the highest speed figures on the card when winning at Newbury last month and can make his presence felt.
Dave Edwards

Handicappers' nap

Patrick Sarsfield (5.35 Ascot)

Escapes a penalty for last year's Group 3 win at Leopardstown and rates the pick of the weights on that effort, with his recent good reappearance run suggesting he can still perform to that level.

Dark horse

Arthurian Fable (6.10 Ascot)

Finished only two and a half lengths behind Global Storm on his seasonal reappearance when clearly needing the run. His sole win came on ground described as good to firm, so conditions will suit.
