Reach For The Moon is undoubtedly the Queen's best chance of winner at Royal Ascot this week.

The three-year-old had been a leading candidate for this year's Derby before an injury held him up at the start of the season.

After making a good reappearance in the Heron Stakes at Sandown, he now appears ready to take his bow on flat racing's biggest stage.
