Royal Ascot 2021 -DAy One picks

2:30 R/Ascot Palace Pier
3:05 R/Ascot Kaufymaker
3:40 R/Ascot Battash (DB)
4:20 R/Ascot Mostahdaf
5:00 R/Ascot Lostwithiel
5:35 R/Ascot Solid Stone
6:10 R/Ascot Global Storm

DB = Daily Banker

ITV7 should be up to 100K today but I think it will be only won if Battash wins as many will see him as their banker for todayor for the meeting. He should be far too good for the reest against and hope he gets a good ride and win with plenty in hand.
Expect Palace Pier to win handily but think Kaufymaker might surprise a few. Not many American horses have come to Ascot and won easily and he does come here with form to suggest he might be the best American horse seen at Ascot for a while.
If I'm still in with a shout in the last, I expect Global Storm to either win or go close.
