Our Royal Ascot 2:30 pm race predictions are:
- 14.30 NAP – Miss Rascal

Queen’s Vase (Group 2)
The Queen’s Vase is a Group 2 flat horse event for three-year-olds.

- 15:05 NB – Birdman
- 15:05 Long Shot – Mina Rashid
Fancied for the Derby, Illonis ran a cracker when second in the Lingfield Derby Trail, this more galloping track is set to suit and he should go very close.
