Charles and Camilla hoping runner will win at Royal Ascot
The King and Queen will be hoping to double their tally of Royal Ascot winners when their horse takes to the turf in a sprint race. Charles and Camilla have seen their racing hopes dashed twice this week when their much fancied thoroughbreds were well beaten. But Purple Rainbow will be running in the aptly named Sandringham Stakes over a mile and could add to the couple's first Royal Ascot winner in 2023. Racegoers have been given a respite for the moment from this week's sweltering conditions, with hazy cloud over the Berkshire race course keeping temperatures below Thursday's record highs. Will Aitkenhead, head of corporate and industry affairs at the track, said: 'Whilst there are no plans to ease the dress code at this stage, we are conscious of rising temperatures through the day and will monitor the situation. We will be handing out bottled water to guests on arrival and have worked hard overnight to provide more shaded areas.' The King and Queen were joined by Camilla's old school friend Lady Cavendish and her husband Lord Cavendish in their coach during the traditional carriage procession along the course. Among the guests travelling in the carriages were the former Emir of Qatar Sheikh Hamad, the Queen's Companion the Marchioness of Lansdowne and musical maestro Lord Lloyd-Webber. Princess Eugenie, her husband Jack Brooksbank and mother Sarah, Duchess of York were spotted in the parade ring alongside former defence secretary Ben Wallace and Zara Tindall when the royal procession arrived in the exclusive area. The late Queen was a passionate owner and breeder of thoroughbreds and had more than 20 Royal Ascot winners during her 70-year reign. Charles and Camilla have taken on her stable of horses and enjoyed their first Royal Ascot winner in 2023 when their horse Desert Hero triumphed in the King George V Stakes.

My Royal Ascot tips include a hugely promising runner who's been a revelation for his top trainer
YOU might think it's rare for a horse to have run a lot further than six furlongs to land the Wokingham Handicap. But if you did you'd be wrong. 1 That will give MORE THUNDER (5.00) supporters plenty of hope as he goes for a hat-trick in Saturday afternoon's cavalry charge. More Thunder has been a revelation this season for William Haggas, landing two sprint handicaps with last-gasp thrusts. Last term he was in the hands of Sir Michael Stoute when he raced as far as an extended mile and a quarter. Cape Byron, Bacchus and Baccarat are just three fairly recent Wokingham victors who had tried distances way beyond the distance they were going at Royal Ascot. Cape Byron ran a couple of times over a mile and a furlong, and was once down the field in a Hunt Cup. Bacchus went a mile in a nursery at Newmarket in his younger days, while Baccarat once went a mile at Ayr. More Thunder is untried on very fast ground, but he will be flying home off the strong gallop and may well get up under Tom Marquand and do what My Cloud did in the Wokingham. So we have made it. It's the final day of Royal Ascot 2025 and all seven sweltering races are once again on ITV. The action kicks off with the Listed Chesham Stakes for juvenile colts and geldings over 7f. Many with much potential and improvement. TREANMOR cost 2,000,000 euros as a son of Frankel and looked very useful on debut at Newmarket when traveling strongly and hacking up by four lengths. The runner-up has been beaten since, but Treanmor was backed as if defeat was impossible. He obviously should go well and William Buick rides for Charlie Appleby. The Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes is for older horses over 1m4f. Kalpana wasn't declared due to the fast ground so this really should be at the mercy of REBEL'S ROMANCE (3.05) who loves a hard surface, and banged in the Breeders' Cup Turf on firm at Del Mar in November. The latter is a globetrotting superstar for Godolphin and can land this again for Buick and Appleby. He's just bombproof in these events and was a fine third here to Goliath in the King George. Today's big Group 1 is the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes over 6f. Another wide open sprint this week. TOPGEAR (3.40) has never encountered ground like this and of course he might hate it. There is also a chance Topgear is better at 7f than 6f. That all said, on ability the French, Christopher Head-trained raider is right in the mix and his Challenge Stakes victory at Newmarket was a very decent one. My selection returned with success at Longchamp this season and if able to go the gallop will finish stronger than most. An each-way chance. Next a Group 3 for three-year-olds in the Jersey Stakes over 7f. Really tricky to sort this lot out! CALIFORNIA DREAMER (4.20) might go well for Amo Racing and David Egan. The Adrian Murray-trained Irish raider was an excellent second to Lake Victoria in the Irish 1000 Guineas when last seen and a drop back to 7f should be beneficial. She was a fine fifth here in the Albany on fast ground last season so she really should get in the mix and has strong each-way claims. Another handicap in the Golden Gates for three-year-olds over 1m2f comes next. And there could be another one for Wathnan here with French raider BEST SECRET (5.35). He's another that it's impossible to know whether he will act on a fast surface, but he's lightly raced and has been impressive in two victories at Saint-Cloud and Longchamp. James Doyle is on top and a handicap mark of 95 looks very fare. Stall 5 should not be the difference between winning losing. Royal Ascot 2025 draws to a close with the Queen Alexandra Stakes marathon over an extended 2m5f. Sober could easily hack up for Willie Mullins but SAMUI (6.10) was a fine third in the Copper Horse on Tuesday and he will be well suited by the extra distance. He can just lob around under Colin Keane and hopefully power clear in the closing stages. What a week it's been. I hope you have enjoyed all the sport. Royal Ascot is just always special.

Time For Sandals pulls off Commonwealth Cup shock
The Newmarket handler struck for the very first time in Group One company with Docklands in the Queen Anne Stakes and wasted little time doubling that tally with a filly who was registering just her second career victory – and first since her debut last year. Sent off at 25-1 in the hands of Richard Kingscote, she cruised to the front on the far side with a furlong to run and showed great resolve to edge out Arizona Blaze by a neck with the supplemented Rayevka half a length further back in third. 'It's the first time she's had a fast horse to follow, I don't want to say (we were) very confident, but we felt like we hadn't seen the best from her for one reason or another,' said Eustace. 'The voice is in dire straits, I can assure you of that! She's always shaped to be pretty good and at home we felt we had excuses for her; she never ran a bad one, she was always right there but hadn't quite put it all together. 'We were always confident in a race like this where there would be fast horses taking her along, that's really what she needed; don't get me wrong, we didn't dream that we'd get here, but she was always pretty good.' He added: 'It's been extraordinary (the meeting), but that's the team at home, it's all the little things all the way through and I can't thank them enough. The owners will be in there, they're relatively new, this is the second ever horse they've had and they're pretty lucky people.' Kingscote – who won the Derby for Sir Michael Stoute on Desert Crown in 2022 – said: 'I've had nice horses to ride since Sir Michael retired, it was always going to be a year of building back up, I had a nice bit of support and I'm delighted to get on a filly like her. 'Last year she was a very unlucky placed horse in the Super Sprint and she progressed all the way through. She was unlucky last time I felt. 'She did a spectacular piece of work a couple of weeks ago at Newmarket and I'm delighted to ride Harry a big winner because he's a gentleman and his yard is such a happy yard. 'I'm delighted, he's a lovely man and his staff are always so positive and happy so it's great to get them a nice winner. He's only just trained his 100th winner, so I'd say two Group Ones at Royal Ascot is pretty special to him.' Arizona Blaze may have been 28-1, but did not surprise trainer Adrian Murray with his huge performance, with the Irish handler now eyeing a tilt at York's Nunthorpe Stakes later in the summer. 'Big run, but he never runs a bad race. He always turns up on the day so I'm delighted with him,' said Murray. 'He's very reliable. When he came home the last day he was a bit flat within himself, so he probably was a bit under the weather when he ran, we put that behind us and we were very confident of a good run. 'It was a huge price, I couldn't believe it! 'I think we'll go for the Nunthorpe, he's in the July Cup as well but I think we'll look at York.'
