and live on Freeview channel 276
After an action-packed opening to what has already been an emotional Royal Ascot on Tuesday, all focus turns towards the famous old course once again this afternoon as several fascinating contests lie in wait.
Ryan Moore stole the headlines on the opening day after claiming a fine treble that was sealed by a stunning win for Vauban in the Copper Horse Stakes and he will be hoping to continue his form on day two. Hollie Doyle was the other history maker on Tuesday when she became the first female jockey to ride a Group 1 winner when she led Bradsell to victory in the King’s Stand Stakes.

Hide AdA win in the Falmouth Stakes and a second in the 1,000 Guineas, this four-year-old will under the guidance of Frankie Dettori for a third consecutive race and they will have to see off the much-fancied Jumbly to come first past the post.

Light And Dark (D Probert - S bin Suroor) 66/1 31. Dual Identity (N Callan - W Knight) 20/1
Tip: Dunum (10/1)
Given the form Dunum has shown over the last year, it could be argued these odds are generous and are difficult to ignore. Wins and second places in each of the last seven races, Dunum will be a real threat here and will hope to continue showing promise with a win.

Frankie Dettori will be on board this afternoon and he will be hoping to continue Gregory’s perfect record with another win in his final Royal Ascot.
