Royal Ascot

Today, June 21, 2025FlatClass 16fGood Firm

It's been slim pickings for overseas raiders in this contest in recent years but that may change with SATONO REVE and Lazzat of particular interest. A stiff 6f looks absolutely ideal and with firm ground no issue, the Japanese representative is preferred. Last year's Commonwealth Cup winner Inisherin commands serious respect, too.

    Verdict
    Very smart performer, winning Takarazuka Kinen at Chukyo (by ¾ length from Namura Clair) in March. Creditable 2¼ lengths second of 13 to Ka Ying Rising in Chairman's Sprint Prize at Sha Tin last time, keeping on final 1f but no match for winner. Stiff 6f looks right up his street so shortlisted.

    Verdict
    Won the Group 2 Sandy Lane and very smart performance when following up in Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at this meeting a year ago. Below par in the July Cup at Newmarket and Sprint Cup at Haydock later in the season but back with a bang in the Duke of York Stakes and that puts him firmly there.

    Ended 2024 firmly on the up, recording a huge career best when forging clear to land the Group 2 Challenge Stakes at Newmarket (7f). Picked up where he left off in Group 3 Prix du Palais-Royal 4 weeks ago and major player if coping with the firmer ground.

    Verdict
    High-class gelding, landing the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest in August and he warmed up for this by landing the odds in 8-runner listed race at Chantilly by 5½ lengths from Toyotomi last month. Unexposed over 6f and he's just about the one to beat if as effective on this ground.

    Verdict
    Smart performer in Australia who wasn't beaten far in a pair of Group 1s on final 2 starts last year for Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott. Reportedly switched for 8-figure sum and while he made a very underwhelming start for new yard in Greenlands Stakes, he couldn't be in better hands.

    Won the Group 3 Summer Stakes at York last year and very close third of 20 to Kind of Blue in Champions Sprint over C&D on final 2024 start. Excellent neck second of 8 to Inisherin in 1895 Duke of York Stakes and she's coming into this in top form.

    Verdict
    Much improved in his second season, winning listed and Group 3 at Newbury (both 6f, good to firm). Record fresh was positive and he was strong in the betting in the Duke of York Stakes on his return to action, only to finish fourth. Not out of this on the pick of his form.

    Useful French colt who made a winning return when landing the odds in 6-runner conditions event at Chantilly (6.5f) in March. Improved again when supplementing that in the Abernant Stakes a month later and no disgrace in finding Topgear too strong in the Prix du Palais-Royal latest.

    Verdict
    Quickly dispelled a lesser effort in France when running out a pretty cosy winner of Group 3 filles' event at Doncaster (7f) in September, pulling clear with 3 fellow progressive sorts. Ran poorly back against males at Newmarket on final outing but better than ever when landing Group 2 at Lingfield.

    Verdict
    A useful and reliable Italian 6f winner in 2024 for Gianluca Bietolini. Shaped well when ½-length second of 7 in Abernant Stakes at Newmarket (6f) on UK/stable debut and not subjected to a hard time having blown the start at the Curragh 4 weeks ago. Needs to cut that trait out.

    Smart colt who made the most of the drop in grade when taking 4-runner minor event at Southwell (6f) in December. Looked as good as ever when neck second of 9 in listed race at Doncaster (6f) but could never land a blow when 4 lengths eighth of 9 to James's Delight in Greenlands Stakes.

    Highly tried as a juvenile and hit the ground running last year with decisive success in the Group 3 Pavilion Stakes over C&D. Campaigned solely in Group 1 that season and hasn't looked an easy ride this term, hanging left fitted with a hood in King Charles III Stakes on Tuesday, Tongue tie added.

    Verdict
    Progressed steadily over sprint trips last summer, winning 3 times at up to listed level. Reportedly lost her action on reappearance but turned out fairly quickly afterwards and back on the up when third at Haydock, left with plenty to do. This is a stiff ask.

    A smart winning sprinter in 2023 when also a fine runner-up in the July Cup at Newmarket. Restricted to just a brace of runs in the Abernant Stakes last 2 years, showing he retains plenty of ability in April, but this no easy race to build on that.
