Royal Ascot tips and trends as meeting gets underway on Tuesday

The biggest flat meeting of the year takes place this week in Royal Ascot.

Five days of top class horse racing action will be staged from Tuesday through to Saturday.

Here's four horses that could be worth a punt over the coming days:

Jubiloso 4.10 Tuesday - Duke Of Cambridge Stakes - 7/2

Unraced as a two-year-old, she won her first two starts last year before finishing third behind Watch Me and Hermosa in the Coronation Stakes at this meeting 12 months ago.

She was placed again in a big field Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood later last summer and she could take all the beating in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes.

First Receiver 1.50 Wednesday - Hampton Court Stakes 11/4

He won very easily on his seasonal debut at Kempton earlier this month, landing a maiden by seven lengths.

The Hampton Court Stakes looks a very competitive contest, but it could be another Royal Ascot win for jockey Frankie Dettori and trainer Michael Stoute.

More Beautiful 1.50 Friday - Albany Stakes 9/4

More Beautiful made a winning start at Naas last week and she could improve any amount as the season goes on.

Aidan O'Brien will be aiming for his second victory in the race after Brave Anna's win four years ago.

Sceptical 3.35 Saturday - Diamond Jubilee Stakes 3/1

If this lad wins, it will be one of the stories of the week.

Picked up for just £2,800, he has won his last four starts for trainer Denis Hogan.

He was impressive at Naas last week and he should run a huge race on Saturday.
