Strad’s not lost his Mojo but Kyp can be king June 15, 2022 IS IT time for a new king to take to the throne of the stayers’ division? Thursday’s Gold Cup (4:20pm), the jewel in the crown of Royal Ascot’s five-day bonanza, looks set to be a duel between eight-year-old three-time winner, STRADIVARIUS, and improving four-year-old, KYPRIOS.

Shahryar to cross Bridge to Ascot history for Japan June 14, 2022 SIR MICHAEL Stoute has won the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (3.40pm) four times in the past and looks to hold strong claims of making it five courtesy of Bay Bridge.

Prize fighter Eldarov to give his rivals a royal beating in the Queen’s Vase June 14, 2022 Prize fighter Eldarov to give his rivals a royal beating in the Queen’s Vase STRADIVARIUS won the 2017 renewal of the Queen’s Vase (3.05pm) before going on to become one of the greatest stayers of all time.

Unbeaten Branwell might become Queen Maria in opener June 14, 2022 WESLEY Ward has won the Queen Mary Stakes (2.30pm) three times in the last seven years, so the obvious starting point when analysing today’s opener is his Love Reigns.
