The Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at 3.40 is the feature event on the final day of Royal Ascot, but the Wokingham Handicap is the race that every punter will be hoping to solve and Apollo One, at around 16-1, is an excellent each-way bet to improve on a fine run into eighth in the same race 12 months ago.

Apollo One led the field all the way to the furlong pole last year before the effort started to tell, but he has been ridden with a touch more restraint in his subsequent starts and should have a strong pace to settle behind with several confirmed frontrunners drawn mid-to-high.
