Today's tips: A Shin Hikari can justify the hype in Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot

Japanese raider A Shin Hikari can justify odds-on favouritism in this afternoon’s featured Prince of Wales’s Stakes on day two of Royal Ascot.

The Deep Impact horse made his European debut in the Prix d’Ispahan at Chantilly in May, and produced a stunning performance on testing conditions. Always travelling well, he went to the front in the straight and coasted clear to a ten-length victory in that Group 1.

Officially the highest-rated horse in the world, that French trip proved his ability in testing conditions, and it’s hard to look beyond him in his quest to become the first Japanese-trained winner at Royal Ascot.
