Who To Follow At Royal Ascot On Day Five - 18/06/22

Charlie Appleby has been on fire this week landing some nice races up and down the cards and on Saturday he could field one of his best teams of the week.

In the second race of the day he unleashes Noble Truth for his second run of the season having won well on debut and he is a hot favourite in the Jersey Stakes.

Appleby fields another strong favourite in the Hardwicke Stakes with the Irish Derby and St Leger winner Hurricane Lane having his first run of the season.

Other smart runners on the day for the yard include Creative Force in the Platinum Jubilee Stakes, Falling Shadow and Blue Trail in the Golden Gates Stakes.

Appleby heads into the final day sporting a strike rate of 24% for the last two weeks which has seen him manage 10 winners from 41 runners.

Ryan Moore has had a superb week landing the Gold Cup and other nice races throughout the week and he has a handful of chances on Saturday that could see him win the Royal Ascot Jockey championship.

His first big chance of the day comes in the Listed Chesham Stakes with Alfred Munnings looking a big talent for Ballydoyle and could be a superstar for the future.

In the Jersey Stakes the rider teams up with John & Thady Gosden on Audience with the three year old been knocking on the door of late and could pick up a place.

He could be playing second fiddle in the Hardwicke Stakes with the talented Broome but in the Wokingham he sits on Group winner Rohaan who could be better than this handicap.

Other nice runners for the rider include Sun King in the Golden Gates Handicap and Wordsworth in the Queen Alexandra Stakes.
