Royal Ascot 2026: Favourites BOOM or BUST (Part 1 – Days 1 & 2)
By

In part one of BOOM or BUST, I look at the favourites in each of the Group 1 events on day 1 and 2 of Royal Ascot and provide my thoughts as to whether I think they will win or not. Notable Speech (Queen Anne Stakes, Tuesday 16th) The opening Group 1 of the week is the Queen Anne Stakes and there’s a strong chance multiple top-level winner NOTABLE SPEECH will be able to get punters off to a great start.

    Four Best Bets for Royal Ascot 2026

    Bow Echo (St James’s Palace Stakes) The first one is BOW ECHO. George Boughey’s charge was a dominant winner of the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and I am struggling to see how Gstaad can reverse the form.

    14.14 Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai Apprentice Handicap Allegrino is the one to beat in the opener but a chance is taken on RED MOON. He is down in grade for his handicap debut and has Toby Moore on his back.

    York Place 6 Preview | 13th June

    13.50 Queen Mother’s Cup Handicap CHILLINGHAM was awarded this race last year (initially finished second) and is back to try and defend his crown. He’s 6lb lower in the handicap this time, so despite running poorly here last time, he can go well.

    13.50 Andy Thornton Hospitality Furniture Apprentice Handicap JANNA’S JOURNEY is back down to her last winning mark and finished an unlucky sixth of 17 in a much stronger race here in October. She’s 8lb lower in the handicap now, so I fancy her to run a big race having caught the eye at Carlisle last time out.

    14.20 KBIS British Equestrian Insurance EBF Novice Stakes It’s difficult to pinpoint the winner. However, CAVALIER and CLOUD SUMMIT represent powerful connections that do very well with two-year-old’s, so it would come as no surprise to see either of them make a serious impact in the opener.

    Fontwell Place 6 Preview | 10th June

    14.30 Weatherbys nhstallions.co.uk Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle The opener could go the way of VISCOUNTESS NELSON, who shaped promisingly when second on hurdles debut before easily going one better when last seen at Perth.

    14.30 Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Handicap Chase FRIENDS DON’T ASK has placed on all three starts this term and was unfortunate to be mugged right on the line last time out. The assessor is allowing him to compete off the same mask, so compensation could well be on the cards.

    Carlisle Place 6 Preview | 8th June

    14.15 Racing TV Apprentice Handicap HARRY’S HALO failed to show his true colours in three starts last year but ran a really good race when third on his return at Doncaster and a repeat showing should see him bang in contention.

    Perth Place 6 Preview | 7th June

    14.07 Scone Palace Jousting Tournament Novices’ Hurdle KIBRIS could be the answer to the opener. He was useful on the Flat and opened his account in this sphere at Perth when last seen. This step up in trip does pose a question mark but he has more to come and should be able to at least make the places.
