Tony Calvin Royal Ascot Tips For Tuesday 20th June 23
- 2:30pm – Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1) (Class 1) (4yo+) 1m: CASH @ 20/1 with Paddy Power
Tony Calvin’s first tip on Tuesday at Ascot on Day 1 at Royal Ascot comes in the opening race of the afternoon in the Queen Anne Stakes. Calvin is siding with Cash for trainer David Simcock to win at a big price of 20/1 with the best horse racing betting sites.
He is rated only 2lb higher than Triple Time but he has only five runs on his dance card, and the Betfair mans thinks a strongly-run 1m – there are four pace angles in here, with Pogo and Mutasaabeq the most obvious – will see him take a big leap forward.
He went down by only ¾ length to Chindit here first time up and Calvin love the way he travelled into the race and took the lead 2f out in the Brigadier Gerard, before dropping away.
A more patient ride could pay big dividends and he will take any rain that comes his way between now and 2.30pm on Tuesday. Could face a last-minute decision on whether he runs (connections probably won’t risk him on fast ground).
- 5:00pm – Ascot Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (4yo+) 2m 4f: LAW OF THE SEA @ 10/1 with Paddy Power
The second tip for Tony Calvin on Day 1 of Royal Ascot comes in the form of Law Of The Sea in the Ascot Stakes. This stable that has won this race twice in the last four years, which certainly caught the eye of Calvin.
He probably ran his best race when beaten 5 lengths in the Queen’s Vase here in 2021 and he has run two crackers this season, races he could have won on another day.
The 5yo got no racing room close home when fourth in the Chester Cup and he was given a modest ride by William Buick at Haydock last time, giving the all-the-way winner Solent Gateway much too easy a time of it on the front end in a slowly-run contest.
He has gone up only 2lb for those performances, and a mark of 92 is surely ripe for exploiting on the big stage. He was rated 102 after his run in the Queen’s Vase.
- 5:00pm – Ascot Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (4yo+) 2m 4f: ACHNAMARA @ 25/1 with Paddy Power
Another fancy in the Ascot Stakes at a slightly bigger price for Tony Calvin is Achnamara. He has blown out badly on all three hurdle starts for the trainer and didn’t do too much in the 1m4f King George V Stakes here last year.
However, they have given him a wind op and are putting on a tongue-tie and he has a fair chance on his Wolverhampton 1m6f win in October, his final start for the Johnstons (bought for 50,000gns afterwards).
He is 7lb higher here but he was pulling further clear at the line there, so hopefully this extreme test will suit, and he is well drawn in five to get a prominent pitch.
- 5:35pm – Wolferton Stakes (Listed Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) 1m 2f: POKER FACE @ 10/1 with Paddy Power
Unbeaten last season, when putting up a very smart speed figure at Pontefract, Poker Face has shaped really well on both starts in this campaign. Hence why he is one of Calvin’s pick in the Wolferton Stakes at 5:35pm.
He bumped into a highly progressive horse in Ottoman Fleet when second in the Earl Of Sefton (the winner has since won a Grade 2 in Belmont, and finished placed in a Grade 1 at that track earlier this month) and they may have adopted the wrong tactics by deciding to take on Point Lonsdale for the lead in the Group 2 Huxley Stakes at Chester last time, as it lit him up.
If ridden with more restraint, Calvin expects him to come forward and prove very competitive here. Mind you, only 7lb separates the top and bottom-rated horses in here. With that in mind, Tony Calvin thinks you have to play win-only.
- 5:35pm – Wolferton Stakes (Listed Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) 1m 2f: SOLID STONE @ 10/1 with Paddy Power
Solid Stone may be a 7yo but, like Cash, Calvin thought he shaped very well in the Brigadier Gerard considering he was sacrificed on the front end for stablemate Desert Crown and was still coming back for more at the death to claim third.
He finished third in this race in 2021, and fourth in the Hardwicke here last year, and he is simply highly effective in this grade.
- 6:10pm – Copper House Handicap (Class 2) (4yo+) 1m 6f: RAYMOND TUSK (e/w) @ 20/1 with Paddy Power
Tony Calvin’s final tip on Day 1 at Royal Ascot comes in the final race of the day in the shape of Raymond Tusk each-way. Jockey Rossa Ryan could have a world of grief in store for him early doors from the widest draw.
An outside berth is a positive in 1m4f races here but there is a very short run to the bend in 1m6f contests and the veteran (at 8yo, he is the old boy of the party alongside Alright Sunshine) could be playing serious catch-up.
However, Calvin thought he shaped seriously nicely when third at Newmarket on his comeback (unfortunately so did the handicapper who raised him a harsh 2lb to a mark of 101) and the 20/1 quote is seriously, and strangely, dismissive given his excellent record at this meeting.
He comes into this race a fresher horse, and in better form, than he did last season and the price is simply too big to ignore.
