Horse racing tips: Our top pundits' Cheat Sheet for Day 1 of Royal Ascot

Ahhh yes, it’s Royal Ascot. That glorious time during the summer when people put on fancy clothes and hats and pretend they’re landed gentry at a country fair. Whatever floats your boat.

All that aside, there’s serious business to be undertaken. Namely, making informed betting choices based on the best available information, rather than aiming a dart at the race card.

Which is where we come in. At Paddy Power News we’ve put together a lovely Cheat Sheet for Day 1 of Royal Ascot featuring our star pundits Jason Weaver, Matt Chapman, Mick Fitzgerald, Frank Hickey, Paddy Power and the combined might of the Timeform brains-trust. That’s SIX different sources to compare and contrast.

You can screenshot it, download it, even print it if you like. But whatever you do, make sure you read it.
