Matt Chapman Royal Ascot Tips For Tuesday 20th June 23
- 2:30pm – Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1) (Class 1) (4yo+) 1m: MODERN GAMES @ 15/8 with Paddy Power
Matt Chapman’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. The ITV Racing pundit is siding with Modern Games for trainer Charlie Appleby to win at 15/8 odds with the best horse racing betting sites.
Expect a decent gallop here with both outsider Pogo and Mutasaabeq likely to go hard on the front end. Chapman was thinking of taking on Modern Games but the more he looked at this race, the more he believes he’s very hard to beat.
A dual Breeders’ Cup hero, Modern Games has the one best piece of form in the race in his second to Baaeed in the Sussex at Goodwood last year and he showed in the Lockinge a straight mile is no concern. The Charlie Appleby runner is ultra consistent, goes on any ground and William Buick is up again. He’s got to be bang there.
- 3:05pm: Coventry Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (2yo) 6f: RIVER TIBER @ 13/8 with Paddy Power
The second tip for Matt Chapman on Day 1 of Royal Ascot comes in the form of River Tieber in the Coventry Stakes.
Asadna looked like a star at Ripon but Chapman really likes the chances of River Tiber here for Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore. The son of Wootton Bassett cost nearly half a million pounds and has looked well worth the money at Navan and Naas. He’ll stay well and is tough and clearly very talented.
- 3:40pm: King’s Stand Stakes (Group 1) (Class 1) (3yo+) 5f: COOLANGATTA @ 3/1 with Paddy Power
Matt Chapman’s best bet on Day 1 at Royal Ascot comes in the King’s Stand Stakes where he is siding with Coolangatta.
He is a pretty solid Group 1 Australian sprinter and Chapman is taking a chance on her for Ciaron Maher and David Eustace and the excellent James McDonald. The simple truth is most of the home team are well below this standard with the exception of Highfield Princess but there is no value in her price.
Coolangatta goes on any ground and was in fine shape when scoring at Flemington in February. The fact she stays a bit further is a bonus.
- 4:20pm – St James’s Palace Stakes (Group 1) (Class 1) (3yo) 1m: CHALDEAN @ 15/8 with Paddy Power
The Group 1’s keep on coming with the St James’s Palace Stakes over a mile. There’s no doubt it’s worth having a few quid each-way on Royal Scotsman but the draw has worked massively in the favour of Chaldean and he’s taken to follow up his Newmarket 2,000 Guineas success for Frankie Dettori and Andrew Balding.
The son of Frankel could make all if he wanted to from the inside birth and with a bit of rain forecast that should help him. The Dewhurst winner won a messy Classic but was very much the best horse in the race.
- 5:00pm – Ascot Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (4yo+) 2m 4f: CALLING THE WIND (e/w) @ 9/1 with Paddy Power
Now the Ascot Stakes, a handicap over two and a half miles. Such is the ratings system these days this is more of a conditions race than a handicap as most think of them.
The ITV Racing pundit happy to have a few quid each-way on Calling The Wind and exciting young apprentice Billy Loughnane who takes off a useful 3lb. That means my selection is 4lb lower than when sixth in the Chester Cup and he was a little unlucky on that occasion. Drawn a little wide but stays well and loves this course.
- 5:35pm – Wolferton Stakes (Listed Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) 1m 2f: BOLSHOI BALLET (e/w) @ 13/2 with Paddy Power
Matt Chapman’s penultimate betting tip on Tuesday at Royal Ascot sees him side with an each-way fancy in Bolshoi Ballet in the Wolferton Stakes.
The former hot Derby favourite has claims here each-way for Ryan Moore and Aidan O’Brien. This drop in trip might be right up his street after he went a mile and three quarters at Navan and then a mile and a half at Newbury where he ran pretty well behind Haskoy and Israr. That is strong form and he’s well drawn in stall one. It’s not impossible that he might try and make all.
- 6:10pm – Copper House Handicap (Class 2) (4yo+) 1m 6f: BERKSHIRE ROCCO (e/w) @ 16/1 with Paddy Power
Matt Chapman’s final tip on Day 1 at Royal Ascot comes in the final race of the day in the shape of Berkshire Rocco as a 16/1 outsider with the best horse racing betting apps.
Day 1 ends with the Copper Horse Handicap over a mile and three quarters. Vauban might hack up but Chapman doesn’t fancy him at short odds. Berkshire Rocco is a right character and is not reliable – but he stays and has ability on a going day.
Oisín Murphy rides for Andrew Balding and a mark of 99 is very workable considering he was rated 116 when scoring here in 2020. He’s a big risk but at the odds Chapman is daring to take a swipe and pray he land each-way.
