Royal Ascot Betting Tips: 4 Each-Way Selections To Consider

Royal Ascot represents the biggest week in Britain's Flat racing calendar and we're hoping to help punters get off to a flying start with four value bets over the opening two days of action.

The pomp and pageantry associated with this spectacular festival will once again feature prominently.

However, the main focus is always on events on the track and all of the best betting sites are set for a busy time.

Over £10m in prize money is up for grabs, so it is no surprise to see the leading trainers, jockeys and owners battling it out for top honours.

We've asked former Press Association horse racing expert Tony Kelshaw to pick out a quartet of good-priced Royal Ascot hopefuls worth following as each-way singles or in a Lucky 15.

Royal Ascot 2025 Each-Way Tips:

Tuesday 15:40 Royal Ascot: King Charles III Stakes - Starlust - 0.5pts Each-Way

Ralph Beckett's charge is no stranger to upsetting better-fancied rivals in a big race, having flashed home late to land last November's Breeders' Cup Sprint as a 34/1 outsider.

He was also a fast-finishing third behind Big Evs as a juvenile at America's end-of-season spectacular, so everything suggests that Ascot's stiff five furlongs on a sound surface should be right up his street.

Twice a winner at York last term, either side of running better than his final placing suggests in the Commonwealth Cup at the Royal meeting, Starlust should have blown away any cobwebs on his seasonal reappearance at Haydock recently.

He appears well set to put in a bold showing here at around 14/1 with horse racing betting sites to kick off our Royal Ascot 2025 tips.

Tuesday 17:00 Ascot: Ascot Stakes - Nurburgring - 0.5pts Each-Way

It might seem strange to be tipping a horse that was seen novice chasing at the Cheltenham Festival to score at Royal Ascot but this race is run over two and a half miles and Joseph O'Brien expects it to suit his five-year-old perfectly.

There will be plenty of shrewd judges agreeing with that assessment on the evidence of last September's Irish Cesarewitch, when Nurburgring stayed on strongly to finish fourth of 30 in what looked a rock-solid renewal of that 2m 1f contest.

An earlier Galway Hurdle success highlights how this gelding can handle big occasions and large fields.

A wide draw won't worry jockey Colin Keane, who will be seeking to tuck in behind early on, so Nurburgring is an attractive price at around 16/1 on several of the best betting apps.

The Panel's Selection 2: Nurburgring (Tuesday 17:00) - 0.5pts Each-Way

Wednesday 15:40 Ascot: Duke of Cambridge Stakes - Elmalka - 0.5pts Each-Way

Last season's surprise 1000 Guineas triumph makes impressive reading, as Roger Varian's filly produced a dramatic late surge to see off a whole host of top-class rivals.

The likes of Porta Fortuna, Ramatuelle, Tamfana, Cinderella's Dream and Fallen Angel went on to frank that form at the highest level, with the last couple heading the market.

Elmalka hasn't quite managed to reproduce the same sparkle in five subsequent starts. 

However, we remain convinced she isn't merely a one-hit wonder and the make-up of this race provides her with a fine chance of justifying that faith.

The Panel's Selection 3: Elmalka (Wednesday 15:40) - 0.5pts Each-Way

Wednesday 17:00 Ascot: Royal Hunt Cup - Greek Order - 0.5pts Each-Way

We're taking a chance on Greek Order returning to his smart 2023 form. 

When trained by Harry and Roger Charlton, he bagged a Sandown and Newbury double before being sent off 5/2 favourite to land the 34-runner Cambridgeshire at Newmarket.

That day, he was an unlucky second, just failing to reel in Astro King after repeatedly being denied a clear run.

Things didn't go to plan after Greek Order was then sent to race in America, but it is hard to imagine a spell with leading US handler Bill Mott will have done any lasting damage and a return to Britain with Michael Bell can hopefully do the trick.

Christophe Soumillon is an excellent booking for this hold-up horse, who is now rated 4lb lower than when he left the UK, so odds around 14/1 are tempting enough to lure us in with the last of our Royal Ascot 2025 tips.

The Panel's Selection 4: Greek Order (Wednesday 17:00) - 0.5pts Each-Way
