Saturday's top tips for Royal Ascot

Speed figures

La Guarida (2.30 Ascot)

Clocked decent time at Goodwood and the three who followed her home have all won since.

The Punt nap

Cuban Dawn (5.35 Royal Ascot)

Bought for £300,000 at Goffs London sale on Monday and Jim Bolger’s only runner at this year’s royal meeting. Pedigree and performances suggest this longer trip will suit from what looks a good draw in stall 15 and an opening mark of 91 could underestimate him.

Handicappers' nap

Orazio (5.00 Ascot)

Progressive sprinter who got match practice over course and distance when running away with a handicap last month. Open to further improvement and looks tailor-made for this test.

Dark horse

Ziryab (5.35 Royal Ascot)

Won on his third start at Leicester in impressive fashion to build on a second at York, which looks a strong piece of form. Handles quick ground and the step up in trip should bring more improvement.
