Camelot faces ten rivals in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes, the highlight on day two at Royal Ascot, as Irish-trained runners bid to add to a fantastic haul of four winners on the opening day of the Festival.

The triple classic winner faces stiff opposition in the ten-furlong Group 1 event, notably from Al Kazeem who proved too strong for Aidan O'Brien's charge in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh last month.

The master of Ballydoyle saddles the only Irish runner in the Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes with recent Cork winner Bye Bye Birdie, while Irish 2,000 Guineas runner-up Gale Force Ten bids to go one better in the opening Jersey Stakes.

David Wachman also has a couple of interesting contenders this afternoon, with Duntle representing him in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes, and Hint Of A Tint lining up in the concluding Sandringham Handicap.

In all there are 15 Irish-trained runners this afternoon, and the top class six-race action commences at 2.30pm.
