What Royal Ascot 2023 – Day 2
Where Ascot Racecourse – High St, Ascot SL5 7JX, United Kingdom
When Wednesday, June 21, 2023
First Race 2:30pm BST (11:30pm AEST)

The 2023 Royal Ascot carnival rolls along for Day 2 with seven more outstanding races lined up on Wednesday. The Group 1 feature for the afternoon is the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (2000m), while the undercard is loaded with big fields and plenty of quality gallopers on display. With only a minor shower predicted, the Good track conditions look set to continue. The first race is set to get underway at 2:30pm BST (11:30pm AEST)

Best Bet at Royal Ascot: Adayar

Adayar comes into the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes in fine form for the Charlie Appleby yard. He resumed a dominant winner in the Group 3 Gordon Richards Stakes at Newmarket on May 7, going on to score by 2.5 lengths. Despite the small field in that race, the form has stacked up nicely, with two of the four beaten runners recording wins since. He’s drawn to get a soft run from barrier three, and when the race goes on, Adayar can show his class once more – this time against some elite stayers.

Next Best at Royal Ascot: Prosperous Voyage

In the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes for the fillies and mares, we’re keen to be with Prosperous Voyage down the Ascot straight. After a disappointing first-up run, this daughter of Zoffany repaid the faith of followers when securing victory at Epsom on June 3. She got well back in the ruck but still proved too good when powering over the top of her rivals. She’s drawn the middle alley and should find cover comfortably. If Prosperous Voyage is at her best, like she was at Newmarket on July 8 last year when beating Inspiral, she must be considered the one to beat.

Best Value at Royal Ascot: Ghaly

In the Class 2 Royal Hunt Cup, Ghaly is set for his first run since winning in Class 4 company at Newmarket last October – and he looks beautifully placed by trainer Saeed bin Suroor. This seven-year-old has slowly made his through the grades and now holds a solid record of 10: 4-3-0. It’s a massive field of 33 runners, and though such a big turnout can throw up any result, Ghaly stands out at the double-figure quote as the lightly raced galloper with plenty of upside.
