Leading trainer at Royal Ascot Sir Michael Stoute has two smart favourites on the second day of the meeting that could see him add to his ever growing tally.
The first is the highly exciting Bay Bridge who makes his first start in a Group One and is looking to make it six wins from six runs.
Another strong chance on the afternoon for the maestro is Astro King who was a classy second in the Royal Hunt Cup last year and has every chance of going close again.
Stoute heads into the meeting sporting a strike rate of 30% heading into the week which has seen him land six winners from his last 20 runners.
