Just posting early as I'll be working...
Royal hunt çup 
Astro King  9.1 12/1 
Ghaly    8.8 11/1 
Point lynas   8.5 36.0 
Ouzo   8.3  40/1 
Blue for you 8.2 
Supremely competitive pin sticker but lots of value on offer as a result ....my idea of winner is astro King who is looking very well hcapped currently and conditions shoukd suit if not too much rain ....I'll try 10pt wins top 2 ...5pt ew point and ouzo ....gotta be in it to win it .....and forecasts all 5 
 

305 Coventry stakes 
Asadna 9.0.4.3
River tiber   8.8 2.96 
Bobsleigh  8.3 20/1 
Top 2 have a lot going for them ...Will be difficult to beat ....ew value in bobsleigh if you could get 5 places or more 😉 
Kings stand 340 
Highfield princess   9.2 3.65 
Mannacan   8.9  8.2 
Equilateral   8.3 60.0
Dramatised   8.2 
Twilight calls  8.2 
Top 2 again look particularly strong ...fly in the ointment could be coolnagatta but he will have to be some horse  On turf to beat top 2 here I think ....
Low prices overall ....so I'll take a risk and go 10pt doubles on top 2 both races ....and hope asadna and mannacan win ....woukd be nice return

Top 3 rated in the 4 races I’ve looked though at Ascot 
3.40 
1 Highland Princess 2/1 2nd 
2 Manaccan 9/2 nr
3 Dramatised 6/1
5.00
1 Law Of The Sea 17/2 4th 
2 Calling The Wind 17/2 2nd 
3 Bring On The Night 9/4
5.35 
1 Solid Stone 11/1
2 Bolshoi Ballet 7/1 2nd
3 Buckaroo  6/1 3rd / King Of Conquest 15/2
6.10 
1 Get Shirty 28/1
2 Berkshire Rocco 18/1
3 Vauban 7/4 

Have written my picks down but with 3/4 hours of very heavy rains from around 5-8am forecast I'll wait & see if the going changes & or for b.o.g . prices but will take a chance on 
340 DRAMATISED 7/1 E/WAY bet365 ( 5 ) 
500 NOVEL LEGEND 10/1 E/WAY bet365 ( 6 )
will price in morning , good luck to all .
10mm of rain overnight & changed to good / good to firm on the round course so not much change really .

The big handicap on the opening day of Royal Ascot is the Ascot Stakes.
This heritage handicap is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run over 2 miles, 3 furlongs and 210 yards. The off time is 17.00.
20 go to post and with many bookmakers offering 6 places it makes it an excellent betting proposition.
 
I have looked at the statistics over the last 9 years and these are my key conclusions.
Older horses have by far the best record with 7- to 9-year-olds having 6 wins from 44 runs and a profit of 127 points at Betfair Starting Price. The remainder have just 3 wins from 127 runs with a loss of 79 points.
It is best to side against those horses with obvious form. Horses that finished in the 1st 6 last time have recorded 4 wins from 123 runs with a loss of 74 points.
Ideally the horse should have had a reasonable rest from its last race. Horses that last ran between 37 and 94 days ago have a record of 7 wins from 76 runs with a profit of 123 points.
 
Only 1 horse matches these criteria.
EAST ASIA 100/1
I suggest backing this each way with bookmakers offering 6 places.
