Chesham Stakes
2.30 Ascot, 7f

Aidan O'Brien has won this contest twice in the last three years and is strongly represented with Pearls And Rubies and Content. The former, who will be ridden by Ryan Moore, caught the eye on debut at Navan.

La Guarida and Golden Mind stepped forward from debut thirds to win stylishly last time and are respected while Sayedaty Sadaty is also respected for Andrew Balding.

Betting forecast: 2-1 Pearls And Rubies, 13-2 Content, La Guarida, 10-1 Golden Mind, 12 Matnookh, Nemonte, Sayedaty Sadaty, 14 Lightning Leo, Quatre Bras, Snellen, 20 bar

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Golden Mind

Should build on Leicester win; half-brother to a dual Royal Ascot winner for connections

Jersey Stakes

Enfjaar produced a sensational performance when winning a novice at Chelmsford but takes a huge step up in grade here. The Antarctic boasts plenty of Group-race form, including when winning the Lacken Stakes at Naas last time out while the progressive Covey arrives after success in the competitive Silver Bowl handicap at Haydock.

Betting forecast: 2-1 Covey, 9-2 The Antarctic, 13-2 Enfjaar, Olivia Maralda, 9-1 Mysterious Night, 10 Holloway Boy, 12 Quar Shamar, 16 Holguin, 20 Flight Plan, Zoology, 28-1 bar

Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes
3.40 Ascot, 6f

The Australian raiders have been out of luck so far at the meeting but high-class sprinter Artorius was an unlucky third in this race last season and arrives having won at the top-level earlier in the year. Hong Kong are represented too with Wellington for Richard Gibson and Ryan Moore. Highfield Princess was second in the King's Stand on Tuesday and appears to head the home challenge.  

Betting forecast: 4-1 Artorius, 9-2 Wellington, 5-1 Highfield Princess, 13-2 Kinross, 7-1 Sacred, 10 Rohaan, 14 Al Suhail, 16 Art Power, Big Invasion, 20 Run To Freedom, Sandrine, 28-1 bar

Better than ever as 6yo; unexposed at 6f; yard has fine record in race; high on the list

Wokingham Stakes
5.00 Ascot, 6f

The unexposed Orazio is poised to head the market for this feverishly competitive sprint following his stylish victory over the course and distance last time. The lightly raced Khanjar is another to note as well as Chipstead, a recent York winner.

Betting forecast: 6-1 Orazio, 7 Probe, 10 Khanjar, 12 Chipstead, 14 Lethal Levi, Mums Tipple, 16 Apollo One, Fresh, 18 Bielsa, Juan Les Pins, King's Lynn, Summerghand, 20 Mr Wagyu, Saint Lawrence, Spangled Mac, 22 bar

Golden Gates Stakes
5.35 Ascot, 1m2f

Frankie Dettori will have his final Royal Ascot ride aboard Knockbrex for Charlie Johnston and his mount is a lively player on the form of his Haydock second to Gregory, the Queens Vase winner earlier this week. Last-time-out winners Canute, Ziryab and Lion Of War are all big threats.

Betting forecast: 3-1 Canute, 7-2 Knockbrex, 4-1 Ziryab, 6 Lion Of War, 12 Have Secret, 16 Laafi, Local Dynasty, 18 Like A Tiger, 20 Cuban Dawn, Liberty Lane

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Knockbrex

Betting forecast: 2-1 Stratum, 3 Dawn Rising, 7-2 Run For Oscar, 13-2 Falcon Eight, 10 Typewriter, 16 Goshen, The Grand Visir, 20 bar
