Royal Ascot Day 5 Tips from Racing Lee featuring Hardwicke Stakes NAP

CONTINUOUS looks well above these on his latest form, and can win on his return. He fairly bolted up in the St Leger, that after winning the Great Voltigeur at York.

But, he took his form to a new height with a solid running fifth in the Group 1 Arc De Triomphe at Longchamp in October.

He was slightly short of room when the race was heating up, and stayed on well to the line.

Aidan O’Brien has had a few winners this week and Ryan Moore too, he’s a strong stayer who drops back into a Group 2 after winning a Group 1 and running well in arguably the best Group 1 in Europe for the trip. 

He’s a strong play and nap material on the final day of the Royal meeting.

Formerly very classy, MUMS TIPPLE (E/W) has dropped to a good mark now.

He arrives off a disappointing display at Epsom on Derby day, but was slowly away that day and never at the races.

He’s four pound lower than when beaten a length-and-a-half in the Wokingham of last year, and he won on debut here.

He’s also ran second in a big handicap off a two pound higher mark in the past, so likes the course, and the distance now suiting him well.

Conditions are near the same as last year’s renewal, with that added bonus of being lower in the weights, making him over-priced for his in-form yard.

Officially rated two pound higher, and receiving four pounds, the younger and lightly raced QUEENSTOWN should be able to get the better of last year’s winner, Dawn Rising.

Having been twice behind Kyprios this season, the selection already has finished ahead of Dawn Rising twice in the process and got within a length of Kyprios off levels last time out.

That was on good ground, where he stayed on well to the line over one mile-six and half furlongs.

I think the rest have ground to make up to take a hand and Aidan O’Brien is going great guns at present; he’s on a 37% strike rate in the last 14 days and has been on the scoreboard multiple times at this meeting already. 

I hope that he can confirm form with last year’s winner.
