CLASSIC WINNERS SET TO CLASH AT ROYAL ASCOT 2025

Irish 2000 Guineas winner Field Of Gold and Irish 1000 Guineas victor Lake Victoria are both still in contention for Royal Ascot after the latest entry stage on 27th May, with top runners from France, Japan, Australia and the USA among a strong international challenge in the eight Group 1 races. There will be a new name on the Gold Cup honours board, meanwhile, with the news that previous champions Kyprios and Courage Mon Ami will both miss the race.

Field Of Gold was hugely impressive in taking the Irish Classic on Saturday (May 24) with John Gosden confirming that the Juddmonte-owned colt's next target will be the feature on the opening day of the Royal Meeting, telling reporters: "Let's hope we go to Ascot and have a look at the St James's Palace there. We'll stay at a mile for sure."

Field Of Gold will look to emulate his sire Kingman who also finished second in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket before winning the Irish equivalent and the St James's Palace Stakes, for which 23 horses are still engaged at this stage.

As well as the likely favourite, Juddmonte have also kept Irish 2000 Guineas second Cosmic Year in the race as well as Jonquil, who was a head behind Henri Matisse in the French 2000 Guineas. Aidan O'Brien's French Classic winner is one of seven potential Ballydoyle runners still in the race.

Lake Victoria was imperious in regaining the winning thread in the Irish 1000 Guineas and the Aidan O'Brien-trained, Coolmore-owned filly is among 20 going forward for the Coronation Stakes. She could face Zarigana, the winner of the French 1000 Guineas in the stewards' room, with Nemone Routh, racing manager to the Aga Khan Studs, telling the Racing Post that the plan is to head to Royal Ascot next.

"We had a think about whether we wanted to go to the Prix de Diane. Francis [Graffard, trainer] was quite clear, he much preferred going to the Coronation Stakes. I think he felt he wanted to keep her to a mile, that's how he's trained her this year. He likes running horses at Ascot, he's had good luck there. It's good for us as an organisation to show our top horses outside of France and Ireland as well sometimes." Graffard previously won this race in 2019 with Watch Me.

An ultra-competitive-looking Queen Anne Stakes, the opener to the Royal Meeting, has seen all the major contenders stand their ground at the latest entry stage. Lead Artist, Dancing Gemini, Rosallion and Notable Speech were the first four home in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury and all four are still hoping to line up at Royal Ascot amongst a total of 20 entries.

International intrigue was added to the race over the weekend with the news that three-time US Grade 1 winner Carl Spackler will race in the Queen Anne Stakes before moving to Australia. The five-year-old was purchased by Yulong Developments and is now under the stewardship of Ciaron Maher with the trainer commenting: "The team and I are incredible excited to race a genuine world-class horse and three-time Grade 1 winner on the world's biggest stage and represent Australian racing in the Queen Anne Stakes."

Carl Spackler will be the first Australian-trained horse to run in the Group 1 mile race for older horses and will aim to become the first horse trained outside Europe to win the race since Tepin in 2016 - he will need to be supplemented on 11th June.

Porta Fortuna, meanwhile, could be the first horse to win three separate races at Royal Ascot since Canford Cliffs, having won the Albany Stakes in 2023 and the Coronation Stakes last year. Trainer Donnacha O'Brien told reporters: "The Queen Anne seems likely, we have the option of that or the Duke of Cambridge, but I think she won [the Landwades Stud Stakes, Sunday] so nicely and she's training good and she's happy and healthy. I think we have to look at the Queen Anne."

To more mares chasing history as last year's King Charles III Stakes winner Asfoora leads 34 still entered in this year's renewal. The six-year-old returned to action this year with a Group 3 win at Morphettville and will stay in Newmarket before lining up on the Tuesday of the Royal Meeting.

If victorious, she would be the first non-European horse to defend a Royal Ascot title - trainer Henry Dwyer told reporters: "That would be a nice [achievement]. There's another stat that no Australian horse has ever won a race in France and no Australian-trained horse has ever raced in Ireland. There're all sorts of little things that we can tick off on the way just for a bit of posterity I suppose. Breaking new ground and that sort of stuff is what it is all about and she managed to do it last year and hopefully can tick off a couple more boxes this year."

Her likely challengers include George Boughey's Believing, purchased by Coolmore and Resolute Racing over the winter, and Mgheera, successful in Haydock Park's Temple Stakes over the weekend.

The Gold Cup will add a new name to its roll of honour this year after the news broke on Tuesday morning that two-time champion Kyprios has been retired. Coolmore wrote on X: "Due to an aggravation of an old ringbone lesion we have decided to take no chances with Kyprios and although he is currently sound and doing well the decision has been made to retire him from racing."

Ballydoyle will still be strongly represented with Illinois, last year's Queen's Vase winner, and Jan Brueghel, victorious in the St. Leger Stakes ahead of Illinois, among 18 still entered in the race.

Candelari, a Group 1 winner at Longchamp last weekend, is an intriguing contender for Francis Graffard and the Aga Khan Studs with Nemore Routh telling the Racing Post: "That was only his fifth race, his second time on grass. He's very talented, still quite immature. So there's probably still some progress to come. It's a big ask to go to Ascot against all of Aidan O'Brien's but I get the feeling he'll stay the trip."

Courage Mon Ami, the 2023 winner, will also miss the race due to injury.

The Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes sees Japanese runner Satono Reve remain among 25 entries in the race. The six-year-old was second behind superstar sprinter Ka Ying Rising in the Chairman's Sprint Prize at Sha Tin last time out and had previously won the Grade 1 Takamatsunomiya Kinen in great style.

There will be plenty of challengers with Lazzat, last seen dominating a Listed race at Chantilly, likely to feature among the market principals. Inisherin won last year's Commonwealth Cup over course and distance whilst Kind Of Blue won the QIPCO British Champions Sprint Stakes at QIPCO British Champions Day - both have stayed in training in their fourth year and add more interest to what looks an extremely competitive event.

The Prince Of Wales's Stakes is another race which looks hotly contested with Tattersalls Gold Cup one-two Los Angeles and Anmaat among 17 still in the race. Economics, last seen finishing sixth in the QIPCO Champion Stakes behind Anmaat, is also set to make his return to action in the Group 1 contest. Map Of Stars, second in the Prix Ganay, could lead the French challenge with Francis Graffard's colt receiving a form boost over the weekend when his conqueror that day, Sosie, sauntered to victory in the Prix d'Ispahan.

Facteur Cheval, meanwhile, will have his first run over ten furlongs in the race for trainer Jerôme Reynier, with Flavien Prat booked to ride for Team Valor's six-year-old - this will be the two-time Breeders' Cup Classic-winning jockey's first time riding at Royal Ascot.

The Commonwealth Cup, the Group 1 sprint for three-year-olds, sees 29 go forward. Shadow Of Light for Charlie Appleby and Godolphin was most recently third in the 2000 Guineas but showed top-class form at six furlongs as a juvenile, whilst Babouche was also a Group 1 winner at two and was mightily impressive in dispatching Whistlejacket in the Lacken Stakes at Naas last time out. The aforementioned Whistlejacket, Jonquil, Big Mojo and Arabian Dusk are among the other top names still engaged at this stage.

ROYAL ASCOT 2025 - AUSTRALIA, JAPAN & UNITED STATES REPRESENTED AS GROUP 1 ENTRIES UNVEILED

April 29 - International stars Asfoora and Satono Reve headline entries from six countries for the eight Group 1 races at Royal Ascot.

Royal Ascot offers £10m in prize money in 2025, with all eight Group 1 prizes worth a minimum of £650,000 and no race run for less than £110,000.

Asfoora continued the superb record of Australian sprinters at Royal Ascot in 2024 as she stormed to victory in the King Charles III Stakes, a race she is targeting again this year.

The six-year-old has made two appearances at Morphettville recently, taking out the G3 R N Irwin Stakes before finishing seventh in the G1 Robert Sangster Stakes last weekend.

Asfoora could become the first horse from outside Europe to win the same Royal Ascot race twice.

Trainer Henry Dwyer said: "Asfoora is pointing towards Royal Ascot again. We are trying to work out the logistics at the moment. We had her over there at the start of May last year, whereas she will travel over later this time. Worst-case scenario, she will arrive on 4th June, but we would like to travel over earlier if possible to give her more time to settle in.

"She won first time up at Morphettville, although we had not done a lot with her beforehand and maybe had her slightly underdone, which I think took its toll 14 days later in the Robert Sangster. She ran OK and was only beaten just under three lengths, but I was disappointed not to finish a bit closer. However, she has come out of it well and we are happy to roll the dice again in Europe, with a similar programme to last year.

"Winning at Royal Ascot was a blur at the time. It took a while to sink in, if it ever did, to be honest. It was a fairytale for us. I suppose the novelty of it is not going to be there this year, but I am sure it will be loads of fun and I am excited to get back over there."

Japan has six entries as the country seeks a first Royal Ascot success, including leading sprinter Satono Reve in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes for Noriyuki Hori.

Winner of the G1 Takamatsunomiya Kinen in March, Satono Reve chased home Hong Kong superstar Ka Ying Rising in the G1 Chairman's Sprint Prize at Sha Tin last Sunday.

Trainer Hideyuki Mori accounts for Japan's other entries, with his contenders including G3 Saudi Derby runner-up Shin Forever in the St James's Palace Stakes and Daishin Pisces in the Gold Cup.

Interest from the USA includes unbeaten turf performer Laurelin in the Coronation Stakes, a race in which her trainer Graham Motion has finished second twice with Sharing (2020) and Spendarella (2022).

A dual winner at Aqueduct last year, Laurelin kicked off her 2025 campaign with a Listed success at the same New York course last weekend.

Speaking afterwards, Motion said: "That was very cool. She is just a stone-cold runner this filly. I really wasn't sure if she was fit enough today, but I wanted to get her started in this race because she does so well at Aqueduct.

"I think everything is on the table at this point. I will nominate her to the Coronation at Ascot in June. But there are so many nice races for 3-year-old fillies over here as well, so we have a lot of options. The one thing I'll say is I won't be in a hurry to run her back, I thought she ran a big race today."

Queen Anne Stakes entry Grand Mo The First could be a first Royal Ascot runner for Florida trainer Victor Barboza Jr.

The potential French contingent includes Jerome Reynier's globetrotter Facteur Cheval and Francis-Henri Graffard's G1 runner-up Map Of Stars, who could clash in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes. Graffard is also responsible for exciting fillies Zarigana and Vertical Blue in the Coronation Stakes.

Kyprios heads the Irish-trained entries as he eyes a third Gold Cup victory, with his trainer Aidan O'Brien including unbeaten G1 winners Lake Victoria and Twain among a formidable three-year-old squad.

The home team includes Notable Speech (Charlie Appleby) and last season's St James's Palace Stakes scorer Rosallion (Richard Hannon) in the Queen Anne Stakes, while G1 QIPCO Champion Stakes victor Anmaat (Owen Burrows) and Economics (William Haggas) feature in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes. Star hurdler Constitution Hill is a surprise entry in the Gold Cup for Nicky Henderson.

Speaking on the Nick Luck Daily podcast, Constitution Hill's owner Michael Buckley said: "We talked about it a little bit ago. It has been something that has popped up now and again. This is the first time it was something to at least ponder, and the only way you could do that is to enter. It will be something amusing to think about on any dull days over the next six weeks!"

In a change from previous years, the early-closing Group 2 races at Royal Ascot - the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes, Ribblesdale Stakes, King Edward VII Stakes and Hardwicke Stakes - will now close at the five-day stage.
