At the prices, I'm definitely sweet on Notable Speech.

There is a Cheltenham aspect to some of the races there. The Ascot Stakes I feel is probably one of the more popular bet races of the week. Westminster Moon to me looks a real stayer. He was very good at the Curragh landing a gamble and off eight pounds higher he'd be my each-way bet.

Both of them are on day one. What a day's racing.

Paddy Flood

My nap is Scandinavia I think he's a solid horse and he's the best horse in the race. I can't wait to see him tackling the two and a half miles.

My each-way is a horse we put up a few weeks ago here, Night In Vegas for Eve Johnson Houghton and Charlie Bishop, running in the Coventry Stakes.

It caught my eye that day and he's around 10-1. I think he's a good each-way play.

Emma Nagle

I'm going to go with Notable Speech in the opener as the nap. I think 15-8 isn't a bad price about him at all.

I think he's the best in the race and the best in the division this year.

I'll go to the Ascot Stakes as well for my each-way shout.

I'll go for Ismahane at 20-1 each-way with William Hill, she might be a little bit bigger on the day even.

She went over hurdles a couple of times this year, but she's got decent flat form over in Germany and she was third in the Italian St Leger on her last start.

She stays very well. I'd imagine this step up in trip will play to her strengths and she's got a good each-way shout in there, in what is the bumper of Royal Ascot.

She's got a good chance for last year's winning jockey, Billy Lee.
