The feature event of the day on Wednesday is the Group One Prince Of Wales's Stakes over 1m2f and we can't get away from the favourite Bay Bridge.

Highly progressive for Sir Michael Stoute winning five on the bounce now and he certainly deserves his chance in Group One company.

The way he put away Mostahdaf at Sandown last time out was frightening in the Brigadier Gerard stakes and he looks a bit of a freak that will only improve again.

Shahyar looks the danger but with Bay Bridge's progressive nature and the yard running at a 30% strike rate he looks to hold the leading chance.

Leading trainer at Royal Ascot Sir Michael Stoute has two smart favourites on the second day of the meeting that could see him add to his ever growing tally.

The first is the highly exciting Bay Bridge who makes his first start in a Group One and is looking to make it six wins from six runs.

Another strong chance on the afternoon for the maestro is Astro King who was a classy second in the Royal Hunt Cup last year and has every chance of going close again.

Stoute heads into the meeting sporting a strike rate of 30% heading into the week which has seen him land six winners from his last 20 runners.

Leading rider Ryan Moore could have a special time of things on Wednesday at Royal Ascot with a handful of superb rides.

Riding 33/1 shot One More Olly for Richard Hughes in the opener he then teams up with Anchorage for Aidan O'Brien in the Queen's Vase.

Jumping on board the hot favourite Bay Bridge in the Group One Prince Of Wales's Stakes, he then goes into the Group Two Duke Of Cambridge Stakes and sits on Mother Earth.

Other nice rides across the afternoon include the favourite for the Royal Hunt Cup Astro King, Favourite Little Big Bear in the Winsdor Castle Stakes.

Moore heads into the week sporting a strike rate of 18% for the last two weeks managing to land four winners from his last 22 rides.
