Day 2 of Royal Ascot takes centre stage with another excellent card on show. Here are the thoughts of our Racing Factors tipster.
Ascot

Birdman is a perfect 2 wins from 2 starts in his career so far and h can pull off the hat-trick at Ascot today. He was a most impressive winner on his debut at Cork over 1m4f in April (Highbury behind in 3rd) and then backed that up with a smooth success in listed class at Navan last time out over 1m5f. He travelled very strongly that day and came away from his rivals with a degree of ease. Birdman looks like a horse that should improve significantly for the extra distance he gets today and a big galloping track like Ascot should suit him really well. With only 2 career starts, Birdman could well be a staying star for the future. Birdman rates a 4 star win Pick.
