Royal Ascot Day 5 tips as Highfield Princess napped for glory plus best bets for Perth and Ayr
HIGHFIELD PRINCESS (3:40) can write another chapter in her legend in the Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot. John Quinn’s horse joined the sprint elite by routing Minzaal in the Maurice de Gheest at Deauville. The mare continued her relentless rise by thrashing The Platinum Queen in the Nunthorpe at York. She completed a Group 1 treble by bolting up from Erosandpsyche in the Flying Five at the Curragh. The six-year-old finally paid for those exertions when only fourth in the Breeders’ Cup at Keeneland. The bay began her new campaign with a creditable second to Azure Blue on her comeback at York. She put that run to good use when second to the classy Bradsell in the King’s Stand here on Tuesday. The superstar was slightly unlucky so she can enjoy another top-level triumph back over six furlongs.

Royal Ascot Day 3 tips as Eldar Eldarov napped for Gold Cup success
ELDAR ELDAROV (4:20) can go the distance for Roger Varian in the Gold Cup on Day Three of Royal Ascot. The colt looked a top-class stayer in the making when chinning Zechariah in the Queen’s Vase here. The bay then didn’t handle dropping down to 1m 4f when fourth in Group 1 company at Longchamp. However, he relished returning to 1m 6f when hammering New London in the St Leger at Doncaster. The four-year-old was then beaten by fatigue rather than the two-mile trip when flopping back here. He set himself up nicely for this historic prize with a superb comeback second to Giavellotto at York. The bold-galloper should relish the demands of this 2m 4f marathon so he can join the staying elite.
