Our acca for Royal Ascot Day 1 on ITV racing includes selections in all three Group One races. Back this 3-leg ITV accumulator for Tuesday:
Royal Ascot 2025 kicks off on ITV with the Group One Queen Anne Stakes over a mile. Plenty have leading chances, but Rosallion should strip fitter following his return to action last month.
The four-year-old was one of the outstanding milers last season, before his campaign was curtailed following injury after winning the Group One St. James’s Palace Stakes.
Was a decent enough third behind Lead Artist in the Group One Lockinge at Newbury, but should be able to reverse that form now back up to speed.
Bettors shouldn’t be put off by a big price in the Coventry Stakes, with victors since 2013 priced up at odds of 80/1, 150/1, and 20/1.
Super Soldier could still have plenty of improvement on the cards, while Karl Burke’s two-year-olds always deserve huge respect.
The Dark Angel colt has won once from three starts, but he is yet to finish outside of the first two.
Stepped up to six furlongs for the first time at Ascot, and there should be a response from the selection now back on a sounder surface based on his second behind Wise Approach over course and distance in April.
James Doyle is booked to take the ride on Night Raider in the King Charles III Stakes on Tuesday.
The Karl Burke runner drops back to five furlongs for the first time, and his pacey performances over six furlongs ensure that he could come in for serious improvement over the minimal trip.
Was last seen returning to action when finishing third, and four lengths behind Inisherin.
Quick ground, and his natural free-wheeling style of racing from the front could give the remainder of the field too much to do.
Winners of the French, Irish, and British Guineas collide in the feature on Day One of Royal Ascot.
The preference is for Field Of Gold to avenge his 2000 Guineas defeat against Ruling Court with Colin Keane now in the saddle.
The combination teamed up to great effect last time out, dominating a stacked Irish 2000 Guineas field before stretching clear to win by over three lengths from Cosmic Year.
John & Thady Gosden will be hoping that the jockey change works to full effect this week.
Reaching High will be tough to beat for the all-conquering Willie Mullins team in the Ascot Stakes, but he is now incredibly short in the betting.
Therefore, a chance could instead be taken on Liari. The stats support the five-year-old’s chances, with 17 of the last 25 winners this century having lined up over hurdles earlier in the year.
Meanwhile, ten of the last 13 winners have carried between 9-3 and 9-10. Since leaving Paul Nicholls for Michael Bell, Liari was an eye-catching winner over a mile and six at Newmarket.
Entitled to be an each-way angle, despite the wide draw.
A tricky renewal of the Wolferton Stakes features a number of leading chances. However, the preference is for the Harry Charlton-trained King’s Gambit.
Nine of the last 12 winners have been aged either four or five, and there could still be further improvement on the cards for the selection after his reappearance at Newbury last month.
He never settled on that first start following gelding surgery, but he previously showed some high-quality form in Group company, notably finishing a close third behind Los Angeles in the Group Two Great Voltiguer Stakes.
The coverage switches to ITV4 for the final race of the day, as Charlus is preferred for the Willie Mullins team. The selection ticks plenty of boxes, including meeting the age and rating trends.
Furthermore, Charlus will be making his first start on the flat since May 2024, ensuring that he could become the fourth winner in six years to be making his return to the flat after a 12-month absence.
Was last seen finishing 12th of 17 in the Group One Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, but he was never put in the race by Sean O’Keefe.
Coverage begins at 13:30 on ITV1 and ITVX. Live races today include:
