🥇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.
-
-
Missed the frame 1/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Cosi Bello
7/1Form of 1124-1 is the race's strongest recent sequence; 9-4 weight is workable, and 7/1 reflects genuine market respect in a 32-runner field.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Royal Velvet
12/1SR 92, form 815-11, William Buick in the saddle — the weight of 9-9 is the only real drag on a horse that arrives in form.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
River King
11/1Form 231-21 under 9-2 for a yard that knows handicaps; Pat Dobbs has placed this horse consistently and the weight is fair.
-
4Predicted 4th
Mezcala
14/1Form 127-13 for Jack Channon shows a horse capable of hitting the frame; 9-1 weight and Tom Marquand in the plate makes 14/1 a reasonable each-way marker.
-
-
Missed the frame 1/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Morshdi
7/1SR-leader in the field at 104, a six-point edge over the next-best. Haggas form travels, Marquand suits, and a genuine pace set up by Generic plays directly to his late kick.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Endorsement
9/4SR 99 and Ryan Moore will not let him drift far from the frame; the inconsistency in his form stops him getting past Morshdi but the talent is there for a placed effort.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Maho Bay
8/1Buick on a horse that already has a win on the board (1-14 form), and the pace shape suits his pressing style; SR 96 is workable at this price.
-
4Predicted 4th
Oxagon
7/1Oisin Murphy on a Gosden-trained runner at 7/1 demands respect despite SR 97 and patchy form; the step up in trip could unlock something but the evidence is thin.
-
-
Missed the frame 0/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Laureate Crown
14/1SR 87, back-to-back wins, 3lb lighter than top-rated Organise, Jamie Spencer waiting tactics built for exactly this race shape at 14/1.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Organise
15/2Field-topping SR 89, James Doyle booked, and 1-12 recent form is solid — but 9-7 on the back of a near-miss last time is a genuine ask in a 32-runner cavalry charge.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Langstone
12/1SR 86, form reads 5-112 — progressive, light weight at 8-13, and Rob Hornby is a competent big-field Ascot pilot for Clive Cox, a trainer who targets these races.
-
4Predicted 4th
We're Goosers
8/1SR 87 with Oisin Murphy engaged at 8/1 is a serious pairing, but 221-61 form reads as a horse finding improvement harder to come by at this class level.

🥇Predicted 1st
Scandinavia
13/8SR 109 leads the field, form 111-11 is the most consistent sequence in the race, and Moore delivers winners at this level when the horse warrants it.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Rahiebb
4/1Last-run winner, SR 108, and Varian's record with stayers at peak fitness; 2342-1 shows he runs his race every time and will chase the winner home.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Trawlerman
7/2SR 112 is the highest in the field and Buick rarely wastes a journey; fitness post-break is the caveat, but class will drag him into the frame.
-
4Predicted 4th
Caballo De Mar
9/1Last-run second gives Caballo De Mar solid recent form credentials and Oisin Murphy will ensure he's competitive over this trip, but SR 107 caps his ceiling.
-
-
Missed the frame 2/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Dark Lucinda
20/1SR-138 is the highest in the field, her unbeaten record holds up under scrutiny, and 20/1 is a significant market misread against a field topped by SR-104 at favourite.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Legacy Link
13/8SR-104, positive recent form of 314-12, Gosden yard, Keane in the saddle — she runs her race to the line but the SR gap to the winner is decisive.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Gilded Prize
7/2Murphy will get a strong tune out of her and the 7/2 market price reflects genuine each-way claims, but SR-102 and two recent defeats at the top level cap her ceiling here.
-
4Predicted 4th
Earth Shot
11/2SR-94 is modest but her 2-12 form includes a win at this class of race, and Doyle can coax a forward-jumping display that earns a place in the frame if pace is slow.
