Queen Elizabeth 11 Odds
The Queen Elizabeth 11 odds for this Queen Elizabeth 2nd betting Group 1 mile race at Ascot this Saturday has both Tamayuz and Henrythenavigator vying for favouritism. The Freddie Head trained French colt, Tamayuz has been favourite since the antepost betting market was opened but they are now beginning to change in favour of the English and Irish 2000 Guineas winner and mile specialist, Henrythenavigator. In addition to his Guineas successes, ‘Henry' has also won the St James Palace Stakes and the Sussex Stakes , before being beaten by the ground last time out in the Prix Moulins. This is far classier form than his French rival, who, although only beaten once so far has raced no-one of the calibre of Henry.

Ravens Pass is probably not quite good enough to overturn things this time but is clearly a quality horse and is an excellent place bet for at odds of around 4/1; these odds may well be worth taking.
Tactics are certain to have a role to play in this race, and Aiden O'Brien, Henrythenavigator's trainer, has several potential pacemakers entered despite recent investigations into the controvertial tactic. Tamayuz's trainer, Freddie Head it seems has also entered a pacemaker in the form of Racinger, and is determined to use him to ensure success. This could complicate things for the rest of the field and could easily confuse the in-running punters, but don't let it! Henrythenavigator has the ground on his side and the speed in his legs to win his 5th Group One this season.
