-
Winner placed 2/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Satono Reve
10/3SR 119, four AI stars, Ryan Moore booked, and a form string showing win-then-second at this level; the pace setup suits a horse coming from off the pace on good-to-firm ground.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Joliestar
15/8SR 130 is the class ceiling in this field and three consecutive wins cannot be dismissed outright; James McDonald will have her prominent but the price asks too much at 15/8.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Lake Forest
10/1SR 120, Haggas yard, and a winning run last time out at 10/1 make Lake Forest a solid each-way proposition without the market pressure of the top two.
-
4Predicted 4th
Sajir
12/1SR 116, Oisin Murphy aboard, and a 10-221 form string showing progressive consistency; Fabre runners at Royal Ascot rarely arrive without a genuine winning chance at the trip.
-
-
Winner placed 3/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Kalpana
5/2SR 133 matched only by Jan Brueghel, but 3lb lighter at 9-0 and coming off a winning last start; Colin Keane's booking signals trainer confidence from Andrew Balding's yard.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Jan Brueghel
9/2SR 133, Ryan Moore, and consistent 214-12 form make him the clear danger; the 3lb weight concession to Kalpana is what keeps him second.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Goliath
5/1SR 126 is a clear cut above the remainder; if he controls the pace and kicks, the 103-21 recent form says he goes close for a placing.
-
4Predicted 4th
Ethical Diamond
9/1Four wins from five before last start's fifth; SR 124 is competitive enough for a place but the latest reversal stops me going higher.
-
-
Missed the frame 0/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Where Love Lives
12/1Unbeaten in two starts, SR 151, and a race shape built for closers — Kevin Stott can drop in behind the early speedsters and unleash the finish that won twice already.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Carry The Flag
5/2SR 156 is the field's ceiling and Ryan Moore will find the position, but two prior defeats in form mean this horse knows how to finish second as well as first.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Ez Tina
15/2SR 153 and Wesley Ward's Royal Ascot strike rate make the filly impossible to leave out; she carries 9-0 and Ward's juveniles habitually improve on debut figures.
-
4Predicted 4th
Force Noir
11/1SR 150, won on debut and ran second last time — the most consistent progressive form line outside the top three, and Kevin Philippart De Foy's yard has quietly placed this horse w…

Winner placed 1/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Calico Blue
SPSR-86 at 8-12 gives her a meaningful weight advantage over the field's rated horses; Varian's 311-2 form line shows a horse in consistent rhythm, not one in decline.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Tricky Tel
SPHugo Palmer's runner carries only 8-9 off a SR-84 with back-to-back wins in the 74-311 sequence; light weight in a strong-pace sprint is a live each-way argument.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Starmade
SPEd Dunlop's 321-31 form line is the most consistent narrative in the bottom half of the weights at 8-7; Harry Davies will get a clean run from a small draw.
-
4Predicted 4th
Westport
SPThe 111 form is real and Boughey places his horses well, but 9-0 in a 28-runner cavalry charge on good-to-firm represents a sharp class and weight test on debut in handicap compan…

Winner placed 4/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Water To Wine
evnUnbeaten, Buick aboard, Gosden yard in top form — the SR of 97 is a floor not a ceiling for a horse with two runs under its belt. Evens is fair price on merit.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Causeway
2/1SR 123 is the class benchmark of the field and Moore's booking is a major asset; three straight wins demand respect even in defeat.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Golden Story
10/1Form of 1-31 shows a winner who bounced back; K R Burke's three-year-olds travel well at Ascot and 10/1 reflects modest expectations this yard could exceed.
-
4Predicted 4th
Ancient Egypt
10/1A slide from a 1 to an 8 in the form reads as a horse that has regressed; SR 105 is not Group 2 quality and the 10/1 reflects market scepticism correctly.
-
-
Missed the frame 1/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Glyfada
SPSR 82 matches the field ceiling; she carries 9-4 topweight's five-pound advantage over Seet, has won her last two, and the O'Brien–Murphy Ascot axis is not to be faded.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Seet
SPThree consecutive runs reading 511, Ryan Moore booked — this filly is in form and dangerous, but 9-4 in a 30-runner field at Ascot is a bigger ask than it looks on paper.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
She Commands
SPForm 51-1 with the most recent run a win; Ralph Beckett's SR-78 filly carries just 8-8, the lightest weight among the genuinely progressive entries in the field.
-
4Predicted 4th
Rosa Inglesa
SPForm 216-31 shows a recent win and consistent placed form; Charlie Fellowes sending this one to Ascot off 8-7 looks like a yard that fancies its chances.
-
-
Winner placed 3/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
True Love
10/3SR 128, back-to-back wins in current form, and 10/3 against an 8/13 jolly for a single SR point is the value. Lordan's retained partnership seals the case.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Precise
8/13SR 129 and Ryan Moore are not to be dismissed, but the '7' in 111-71 and a price demanding perfection makes her a worthy second rather than a banker.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Balantina
12/1SR 114 is workmanlike for Group 1 but Oisin Murphy and the 13251 form suggest she can pick up placed money in a race run at a genuine pace.
-
4Predicted 4th
Touleen
17/2SR 110 and an honest front half to her 115-26 form keeps Touleen in the mix for fourth, despite the market drift signalling lack of confidence in a repeat.
-
-
Winner placed 1/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Warrant Holder
SPSR 94 leads the field, won last time on a 1231-1 sequence, Buick booked by Gosden — every credible signal in this race points the same direction.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Dain Ma Nut In
SPSR 91 and a recent win in the 180-17 sequence give Colin Keane a live chance at 9-6; the lighter weight helps against the topweights.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Plage De Havre
SPSR 91 at 9-9 with Oisin Murphy aboard; the P31-63 sequence shows resilience and Murphy's patient style suits the Ascot straight perfectly.
-
4Predicted 4th
Hopewell Rock
SPSR 90 for George Boughey with James Doyle; the 3229-3 form shows consistent placing without winning, a type that often runs into a place at this level.

🥇Predicted 1st
Venetian Sun
13/8SR-124 leads the field by 8 points over the next-best filly; 113-01 form on Good to Firm, the true pace she needs, and 13/8 market weight all align.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Havana Anna
14/1SR-116 is the field's second-highest rating; 1220-1 form including a recent win makes her the most credible chaser at 14/1.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Albert Einstein
11/2SR-112 with Ryan Moore booked and a 11-632 form line that includes two early wins; Moore's Ascot record adds weight to a place claim at 11/2.
-
4Predicted 4th
Wise Approach
10/1SR-112 for Appleby and Buick with a 131-54 form line; the class is there even if recent figures have dipped, and Appleby fires at Ascot.
-
-
Missed the frame 3/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Silent Beauty
6/1SR 155, clean winning form, David Egan booked, and a stable sending multiple runners in confidence. Five SR points behind Sun Goddess but 4/1 better in the market.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Sun Goddess
6/5SR 160 leads the field and Ryan Moore does not get on favourites at Royal Ascot by accident — she'll be placed, but 6/5 is a price that demands perfection.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Libertango
17/2SR 152, unbeaten in one start, George Boughey's yard in form and Billy Loughnane's association with this trainer has produced winners at this level before.
-
4Predicted 4th
Light Of Dawn
7/1SR 154 is the third-highest in the field, James Doyle aboard, K R Burke's fillies regularly run their race at Ascot — holds her place in the frame comfortably.
