Tuesday ITV Racing Tips: Best bets for day one of Royal Ascot

Put on your glad rags it's time for Royal Ascot, the pinnacle of this summer's Flat racing season. Eight Group 1 races crammed into five huge days, with three of them coming on Tuesday.

Here's a quick run through of the six races being shown on ITV on June 14. The reasons behind our selections are further down the page, while anyone considering a punt or two will do well to check out the highly informative Royal Ascot race card, just a click away at Planet Sport's Racing Live Centre.

Selections:

Baaeed (14:30 Royal Ascot)

Persian Force (15:05 Royal Ascot)

Twilight Calls / Existent each-way (15:40 Royal Ascot)

My Prospero (16:20 Royal Ascot)

Arcadian Sunrise (17:00 Royal Ascot)

Aristia each-way (17:40 Royal Ascot)

William Haggas' four-year-old is an absolute monster of a horse - the best since Frankel, surely? - and it'll be a shock if he can't land the royal meeting's opener and extend his unbeaten record to eight.

I can’t wait to see Baaeed again next week at Royal Ascot
