Hi all,

Time flies when you get older, and it's hard to believe that Royal Ascot is here once more. It only seems like last month that I was preparing for the Cheltenham Festival, and now I’m gearing up for the best flat racing meeting of the season. It’s going to be a busy week for yours truly, and I'll need a holiday once it's over.

My Tuesday Royal Ascot preview is already with Victor Value subscribers, and if you’re on the Geegeez mailing list, you’ll see that I have previewed the Group 2 Coventry Stakes (3:05). My output for the Daily Punt will be minimal over the next five days, but I will provide some Placepot suggestions.

Hi all,

Inside today’s main piece you'll find my final set of Royal Ascot trends.

The final declarations for Day 1 of Royal Ascot are out and the excitement is starting to build up. I’m putting together my Day 1 preview for Victor Value subscribers. For those interested in my comprehensive write-ups and betting advice, you can still access them here for a one off £19.99 here.

Hi all,

ITV Racing are covering seven races live on Saturday afternoon, four from York, two from Sandown and an additional race from Chester.

My Victor Value Saturday selections were sent to subscribers on Friday afternoon. Here are my thoughts on three of the four races at York—perhaps your York Saturday bets will align with mine.

Hi all,

Inside today’s main piece you’ll find more Royal Ascot trends. Plus, I’ve had a look at one of the two Class 2 handicaps on this afternoon’s York card.
