HorseRacing From Home Podcast #5 | Royal Ascot 2020 Special with Chris Baker

Join Nick Seddon for the latest edition of the HorseRacing From Home Podcast, which looks ahead to this week's Royal meeting. Nick is joined by our resident tipster Chris Baker to preview Royal Ascot 2020, and he gives his views on 14 races across the five-day spectacular. Chris takes a look at five races on Tuesday's card, including the King's Stand Stakes, for which Battaash is a commanding 6/4-on favourite. On Wednesday, we preview the Prince of Wales's Stakes, for which last season's King Edward VII Stakes winner Japan is a short price for the Aidan O'Brien team. The feature race of the meeting is Thursday's Ascot Gold Cup, a gruelling test of stamina over two and a half miles. Stradivarius is a 2/1-on favourite to win this for the third year running, though Chris suggests some alternatives at bigger prices. Friday's Commonwealth Cup has produced some top-class sprinters, and we look at whether any of this year's 20-strong field can follow in the footsteps of an illustrious roll of honour, which includes Muhaarar. Lastly, we chat about Saturday's Diamond Jubilee Stakes, for which the Irish raider Sceptical - a cheap £2800 purchase and the ride of Frankie Dettori - is the favourite at the time of recording. A special thanks to our partners Paddy Power, who have very kindly sponsored this week's episode of the podcast.
