Jamie now brings you his take on major news stories from the racing world and those all-important betting tips.
As the feature race of day two at Royal Ascot, we just had to feature Prince Of Wales’s Stakes betting tips separately. The market has this as a three-horse race on paper with Aidan O’Brien duo Love and Armory set to fight out the finish with the defending champ Lord North. Which horses make our expert’s shortlist, though? Find out by reading on…
Prince Of Wales’s Stakes betting tips – Love is the sweetest thing for punters
In the 1m 2f Group 1 Prince Of Wales at Royal Ascot this Wednesday (16:20), LOVE makes her much-anticipated return to action. One of two in the race trained at Ballydoyle, the four-year-old daughter of Galileo steps outside of her own sex for the first time here.
Love is a four-time Group 1 winner against fellow fillies, but well worth a crack in open company based on her form last season. After taking the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, she could not have been more impressive when following-up in Epsom Oaks. Love not only reeled the leaders in approaching two from home but surged clear for a nine-length demolition for a second Classic triumph.
She then completed her hat-trick with another facile win in the Yorkshire Oaks. The plan was then to run in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp. However, the desperate ground in the autumn wasn’t suitable, so connections pulled stumps for the campaign. O’Brien has had Love ready to race for a few weeks now, but waited for this and good going for her reappearance.
If replicating her three-year-old form, then she can give the geldings plenty to think about here. O’Brien has won this three times before, and Love is again the choice of Ryan Moore. The standout 2/1 on offer with Bet365 looks value, so take it while it lasts.

LORD NORTH won this 12 months ago, so our Prince Of Wales’s Stakes betting tips say his claims cannot be ignored. Trained by John Gosden and son Thady, this five-year-old Dubawi gelding took his form to a new level last season. Lord North resumed his progress from the autumn of 2019 with a winning reappearance in the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard Stakes.
He then followed-up in this, running out a comfortable victor over subsequent Group 1 hero Addeybb. Barney Roy, back in third, has also since gone in at the highest level overseas, so the form looks really strong. Lord North didn’t get his head in front again after that, but made a winning return to action in the Dubai Turf at Meydan with a three-length success.
That shows he retains all his old ability. Lord North looks sure to give it everything in the defence of his crown, but the forecast fast ground may catch him out. He commands respect at 5/2 with Betfair, but there is a case against him on the going. Lord North is still a big danger but also opposable.
ARMORY is zero from seven in Group 1 company, yet prominent in the betting after his winning reappearance. Also trained by O’Brien, this four-year-old colt has run some big races in defeat at the highest level, however. They include when beaten just a couple of lengths and third to Magical in the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown over this trip.
As Armory split Ghaiyyath and subsequent Arc hero Sottsass, he cannot be discounted. He only needed pushing out for a three-length victory over the re-opposing Sangarius in the Group 2 Huxley Stakes at Chester when last in action. This requires a further step forward, but the market confidence behind Armory at 100/30 with William Hill suggests he could make progress. Love remains the preference.
Audarya overpriced and an each-way play
James Fanshawe’s mare AUDARYA made remarkable progress last season, picking up two Group 1 wins. On the pick of that form, which includes a late swoop at the Breeders’ Cup, she looks overpriced and one to consider each-way if one or other of the market principals don’t fire.
Connections were bold enough to pitch the five-year-old daughter of Wootton Bassett in at the highest level off the back of an all-weather handicap win at Newcastle. Audarya defied massive pari-mutuel odds of 48/1 and plundered the Prix Jean Romanet over this trip at Deauville. She was then far from disgraced when third to and beaten a length by Tarnawa in the Prix de l’Opera on Arc Weekend.
Audarya bounced back stateside when capturing the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf with a strong drive in the final 50 yards. She has won going as varied as firm and soft, so should handle conditions no problem. The only slight concern is Audarya missing an intended target over in France.
Fanshawe is no stranger to big race success, however, and won the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at this meeting 10 years ago. It’s a pity only seven runners were in final declarations as there is some value in best odds of 16/1 with BetVictor about Audarya each-way. On adjusted ratings, she comes out level with Armory but has that Group 1 form from last year on her side at five times the price.
