Today’s market movers with Betfred, official betting partner of Ascot

Betfred spokesman Matt Hulmes said: “A fascinating opening day of Royal Ascot and a vintage renewal of the St James’s Palace Stakes, in which Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Rosallion (11/4 from 7/2) has been backed to reverse the Newmarket form with Notable Speech.

“Botanical has been well supported in the Wolferton Stakes, into 7/2 from 5/1, while Big Evs is a solid 7/2 favourite for the King Charles III Stakes, with Rogue Lightning (9/1 from 12/1) also attracting support in the five-furlong sprint.

“Alsakib is a big mover in the lucky last, the Copper Horse Handicap, almost halving in price from 9/1 to 5/1 for Oisin Murphy and Andrew Balding.”
