Trainer To Follow - Joseph O'Brien

Joseph O'Brien could have a good second day at Royal Ascot with plenty of chances up and down the card starting in Kensington Palace Fillies' Handicap and he has two big chances in Yerwanthere and Indian Wish who both should go close.

One of his best chances of the afternoon on Wednesday comes in the Group Two Duke Of Cambridge Stakes over a mile and Jumbly making her second start for the yard is interesting.

O'Brien then sends three in the Group Two Queen's Vase with St Vincent's Garden, Etna Rosso and Nurburring all looking to outrun their odds at double figure prices.

The Irishman heads into the meeting sporting a strike rate of 24% for the last two weeks managing to land 12 winners from 51 runners.

Jockey To Follow - Ryan Moore

Ryan Moore has a nice book of rides on the second day of the royal meeting starting in the opener with french raider Balsam one of the most experienced in the field.

Moore then teams up with Sir Michael Stoute with Crystal Caprice in the Kensington Palace Fillies' Handicap with the filly rated 101.

One of his best chances of the day comes in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes with Jumbly having his second start for the yard having made a good debut.

Another nice chance for the nine time champion jockey at the Royal meeting is Luxembourg in the Group One Prince Of Wales's Stakes holding the leading form heading into the race.

In the competitive Royal Hunt Cup Moore rides the Ralph Beckett trained Sonny Liston who has been tried last season in Listed and Group races and now has his second start in a handicap.

He teams back up with Aidan O'Brien with Peking Opera in the Group Two Queen's vase and to finish the afternoon he rides for the same trainer on Johannes Brahms.

Moore heads into the meeting sporting a strike rate of 33% for the last fortnight, managing to land seven winners from 21 runners.
