Prince Of Wales’s Stakes 🏆: View the Field and Odds for the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes

3 Beautiful Diamond (Bet Now:  $SP.00) should prove to be hard to beat here for Kevin Burke, a stable that are having a fab run with their juveniles this season. This girl debuted over 1000m at Nottingham and while she didn’t beat much, there was a fair bit of quality about the way she put them away under light riding. The Ascot 1000m should be right up her alley and IMO is one of the hardest to beat.

5 Born To Rock (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has to rate highly. He debuted over 1044m at Yarmouth and it was a stunning win from the front. He led throughout and just went through his gears with absolute ease to win and win by a space, running time. In terms of debut winners in this race, he was just about the most impressive and gets Buick so he has a bit going for him.

25 Relief Rally (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a knockout chance for William Haggas. 2/2 to start her career, winning impressively on debut at Winsdor before proving that was no fluke with an even more impressive win at Salisbury, sitting off the speed before Marquand found clear air and the filly dashed nicely late to win. Clearly more depth here, but drawn out to get clear air and should be strong late.

Sir Michael Stoute has tried to get 3 Crystal Caprice (Bet Now:  $SP.00) to stretch out to 2000m but her form says 1600m is her go, so back to the mile here, she is the one for me. Her last couple of runs have come at 2000m and she has run okay but nowhere near as effective as when she has raced at the mile. Ryan Moore takes over and should prove hard to hold out.

6 Yerwanthere (Bet Now:  $SP.00) commands respect for Joseph O’Brien. She has had two runs for the stable, winning impressively at Dundalk before going to a Listed race at Naas where she was unlucky not to finish closer, getting held up at the wrong stage in the straight. Wouldn’t have won but should have finished much closer. J Mac takes the ride and back up to the mile, she appeals.

9 Tarrabb (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is one of the leading contenders. Owen Burrows trained mare that resumed over 1400m at Chelmsford in a field of four where he chased the leader from a fair way out and kept on well enough but was comfortably held late when second. The form out of that race has been ordinary so that is the knock with him but has good upside and up in trip, he’s a must include for exotics.

Playing a straight bat with 4 Jumbly (Bet Now:  $SP.00) for Joseph O’Brien with Ryan Moore booked. She resumed over the mile at Curragh in a Group ll where she seemingly had her chance from off the speed but kept on and was pretty good in defeat when second to a very good mare, Just Beautiful. Should get a lovely run from the inside gate and with upside to come, happy to be in her corner.

7 Prosperous Voyage (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is the key threat. This mare was an impressive winner of the Princess Elizabeth at Epsom given she was tardy away and spotted them a start but came with a well timed run to finish best in impressive fashion. I reckon she’d love beyond the mile, like last start was, but she’ll be strong late and Frankie sticks, which is a good lead.

2 Honey Girl (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is dangerous if the track has any form of juice in it. She ran in the same race Jumbly contested above where she tracked the speed but when asked for the big effort, she was one paced and just whacked to the line to run fifth. She races best when she gets her toe in, so if the track isn’t too firm, I think she’s going well enough to be more than competitive.

Good race. Really good race. Landed with 6 My Prospero (Bet Now:  $SP.00) for William Haggas. He resumed in the Lockinge at Newbury over the mile and just lacked the change up speed to go with them late but stayed on and was sound in defeat when fourth. Fitter, up to 2000m, firm deck no issue and with good upside to come, he rates as one of the hardest to beat.

4 Luxembourg (Bet Now:  $SP.00) rates highly. Aidan O’Brien trained galloper that can roll forward and take catching. He did that at Curragh in the Tatts Cup and was there to be run down by Bay Bridge but he found when required and was strong to the line in winning. He can maintain a gallop from the front if need be and in a race that lacks early speed, I think he’ll find the front and prove hard to run down.

2 Bay Bridge (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has the runs on the board to be respected. He ran second in the Tatts Cup at Curragh to Luxembourg. Kingscote rode him a treat and was there to beat Luxembourg but that horse just kept finding under pressure to fend off Bay Bridge. Both runs at Ascot previously have been great in hot races so I wouldn’t be totally dismissing him.

21 Perotto (Bet Now:  $SP.00) only runs well here IMO. First run for Roger Varian came last month in the Victoria Cup over 1400m here, a lead up run, and he was a real eye catcher from off the speed, closing off with purpose to run seventh, but another 100m or so, he runs second. Love him up to the mile and if he’s within range, he’ll be extremely hard to hold out.

10 Ghaly (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a lightly raced seven year old that has done little wrong in his ten start career. His last run came over the mile at Newmarket in October when a strong winner, defeating King Of Conquest, who has beaten some of these recently, so the form around him does read well and first up into this, there is obvious intent. Watch the market.

2 Tempus (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a big price here IMO for Archie Watson. He ran over this track/distance last month when settling back in the small field and failed to beat a runner home, but was only beaten just under three lengths by Chindit, who is a quality animal that would be close to favourite for this race. Drawn out to get clear air from the outset and his best is clearly good enough.

5 Gregory (Bet Now:  $SP.00), IMO, is the good thing at Royal Ascot. He’s a very promising animal for Team Gosden that is 2/2 to start his career, his latest win coming over 2253m at Goodwood where he got better as the race went on and drew clear late to win in quite dominant fashion. He’ll love the rise in trip IMO, Frankie takes over, the depth isn’t deep and he can stamp himself as a St Leger contender with a win here.

3 Circle Of Fire (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is racing like a rise in trip will suit for Sir Michael Stoute. He last raced in the Derby Trial at Lingfield where he got back to near last in the run and made up solid headway but was never really a threat when third to Military Order. He kept on and found the line well enough so 2800m should be fine for him. Clear next best behind Gregory.

2 Chesspiece (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is in with a shout for Team Crisford. He has been pretty good in two runs back from a spell, placing fresh at Newbury before appreciating a step up in trip when winning nicely at York over 2400m, letting down nicely from off the speed to win well. Clearly harder here, but has upside to come and off last start, 2800m is no issue and overall, the depth isn’t deep.

3 Barnwell Boy (Bet Now:  $SP.00) for me in the get out. Son of Starspangledbanner that comes here off the back of an electric debut win at Goodwood, where he produced sustained speed from the outset in leading throughout and was impressive in winning by a space. That was 1200m and now comes back to 1000m, which is interesting, but he will be strong late and has a good racing style.

12 Johannes Brahms (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has the O’Brien/Moore combination so that alone should ensure he commands respect. He debuted over 1200m at Naas where he led throughout and what I liked is that he was there to be beaten but he found under pressure to fend them off and get the job done. Form out of that race has been plain but he looks a good mover and will give himself every chance.

5 Bombay Bazaar (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is the one with hard race fitness/experience under the belt. He has won his past two, both over the 1000m at Beverley. Latest win was just under two weeks back when tracking the speed and was seemingly trucking before Orr angled him to clear air and he finished best to win well. He’s flying and deserves a crack at a race like this.
