ASCOT OUTSIDERS SCOOP £1.8m: The good-to-soft of the first two days has changed to good-to-firm at Royal Ascot; will it help? Only three winning favourites so far (River Tiber, Vauban and Gregory) and today is usually their worst day. ‘Shock’ winners of £1.8m in first prizes have included 7-1, 9-1, 10-1 (twice), 14-1, 16-1, 20-1, 22-1, 25-1, 33-1. Says Daqman. ‘I’ve had two returns a day but, as ever, will only remember the one that got away: Random Harvest, 22-1 to win 100 points, beaten a neck.’

DAQMAN PROFIT THREE DAYS RUNNING: Daqman’s Ascot bets had best returns yesterday of 2121032 and he leads Pricewise 29-14. Fortune Cookies gave him a big-race one-two.

BULL’S-EYE BET AT ASCOT TODAY: Daqman aims a bolt into the Royal Ascot bull’s eye today, bidding for three winning days in a row after a big-race winner Sunday and his nap yesterday.
