🥇Predicted 1st
Survie
unpricedSR joint-top at 102, carries 9-0 against a field uniformly on 9-5, Moore in the saddle, Boughey placing horses expertly. The weight edge does the work.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Dividend
unpricedSR 102, form -31125 reads progressive and consistent — Rossa Ryan takes the ride on a horse arriving here off back-to-back wins. Best rival at the weights.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Nahraan
unpricedThree wins from four starts, Oisin Murphy booked, Gosden yard never wastes a Ascot entry — the weight is the only thing stopping this three-year-old going closer.
-
4Predicted 4th
Gaucher
unpricedWillie Mullins sending a seven-year-old to Ascot suggests confidence; /41-12 form shows ability to front-run and win. Colin Keane will make it honest.

🥇Predicted 1st
Tim Toe
unpricedThree wins from three runs, joint-top SR of 86, carrying a fair 9-3. De Bromhead doesn't send horses to Ascot for a day out — this is a planned raid.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Bahadur
unpricedSR 86, form 11-651 with two earlier wins suggesting ability — Robert Havlin on a 4yo who has clearly had issues but holds talent worth respecting at this weights range.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Mordor
unpricedSR 83, won last time out (form 1020-1), Jamie Spencer knows exactly how to dictate at Ascot — the pace-setter often finds the frame in a truly-run marathon.
-
4Predicted 4th
Glenroyal
unpricedSR 85, form 31011- shows consistent placing and three wins in the sequence — Joseph O'Brien's yard has significant firepower here and Glenroyal is the stable's best-credentialled …

🥇Predicted 1st
Bow Echo
unpricedSR:118 leads this field; unbeaten 111-1 form and front-running style on stiff Ascot ground gives Loughnane the race in his own hands from the front.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Puerto Rico
unpricedSR:111 and a 4111-4 form line including three straight wins suggests Soumillon will be pressing hardest at the line for O'Brien.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Gstaad
unpricedSR:113 is the second-highest in the field and Moore's positional intelligence will get him into contention, but 221-21 form suggests he finds one too good.
-
4Predicted 4th
Talk Of New York
unpricedSR:99 is a full 19 points below Bow Echo; Buick's hold-up style needs the leaders to come back to him, and on this evidence they won't.

Mission Central
unpricedBack-to-back wins, Ryan Moore booked deliberately, and O'Brien never wastes a Royal Ascot entry. The 610-11 trajectory over a flat field of veterans makes this the standout progre…

🥈Predicted 2nd
Behike
unpricedTwo wins from three starts, lightly campaigned, and George Scott rarely ships a 3-year-old to Royal Ascot without strong private homework behind the decision.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Rosy Affair
unpricedThe 411-21 form line is the most coherent in the field for a non-juvenile; Boughey and Loughnane have been in scintillating form and 9-4 is the lightest weight among the older mar…

4Predicted 4th
Night Raider
unpricedK R Burke's Night Raider finished 450-11 — two wins to close the season — and James Doyle rarely takes a trip to Ascot for the scenery.

🥇Predicted 1st
Adaay Of Scarlett
unpricedTop SR in the field at 145, back-to-back wins at rising class, and Loughnane retaining the ride signals stable confidence. This is the horse with the most corroborating evidence.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Great Barrier Reef
unpricedSR 143 and a perfect 11 form gives the O'Brien-Lordan combination strong claims; two wins suggests a proper two-year-old, just edged on our ratings by Adaay Of Scarlett.

🥉Predicted 3rd
Night In Vegas
unpricedUnbeaten record and SR 143 matching Great Barrier Reef, but Eve Johnson Houghton stepping up sharply in class; third is the honest ceiling given the evidence available today.

Mrair
unpricedSR 140 and a progressive 21 form under Oisin Murphy for George Scott; the most interesting of the 140-range runners and capable of grabbing a place if the pace suits off-pace stal…

🥇Predicted 1st
Opera Ballo
unpricedSR 117 tops the field, back-to-back wins, retained Loughnane booking, and Appleby's Group 1 preparation record at Ascot make this the clearest call in the race.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
More Thunder
unpricedSR 114 is second-best in the field and the 2114-2 form shows consistency; Haggas knows how to place a miler and Marquand will ensure he runs his race.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Docklands
unpricedForm of 494-13 shows a win and placed finish on the bounce; Harry Eustace's improver may lack SR 101 class here but the recent upward trajectory earns third.
-
4Predicted 4th
Notable Speech
unpricedSR 111 and William Buick's tactical nous give Notable Speech an each-way shout, though the 211-41 form includes too many backward steps for a placing guarantee.
