Expert Steve Mullington gives his daily racing tips, including a NAP, NB and a Longshot. Scroll down now to find out horse racing tips Wednesday 15th June at Royal Ascot...


Today's NAP (Best Bet)

3.40 Ascot – Grand Glory

Just five runners go to post in this year’s renewal of the Prince of Wales's Stakes and top honours can go the way of the French raider – Grand Glory.

Trained by Gianluca Bietolini, the hat-trick hunting mare will be looking to build on a solid fifth in the Japan Cup.

The six-year-old has been put back into training and supplemented for this Royal Ascot feature to the tune of £70,000 which shows how highly regarded she is.

Two recent wins at ParisLongchamp show Grand Glory is clearly in great heart and she can cash in on her weight allowance under the very able hands of Mickael Barzalona.

Danger: Bay Bridge

Today's NB (Next Best)

4.20 Ascot – Sibila Spain

Today’s tips have somewhat of a French theme to them as I have sided for another Gallic runner, this time Sibila Spain in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes.

Fourth in the Prix Saint-Alary and the Prix de Diane, this daughter of Frankel won her next Listed race, before disappointing in the Prix de l'Opéra.

Horse Racing Tips Wednesday 15th June


This season she ran a reasonable cobweb shifter behind The Revenant before returning to Saint-Cloud to take the Group 2 Prix du Muguet.

Trading at around the 7/1 mark, she looks to be one of the more interesting horse racing online bets at Royal Ascot on Wednesday.

Today's Longshot

5.00 Ascot – Bless Him

For those of you that aren’t familiar with Bless Him, he’s somewhat of an enigma and generally switches himself off in the early part of most of his races.

However, when he finally does consent to race, he takes off like a rocket in the closing stages and I can see him doing just that from his side of the draw in this monster cavalry charge.

Bless Him has scored here before over this distance, taking the esteemed scalp of Lord North back in 2019 and he should set off at a very generous each-way price.

Others to consider are Symbolize for Andrew Balding and Desert Peace for the formidable pairing of Appleby and Buick.
