Royal Ascot has increasingly become a magnet for international runners, this year attracting challengers from Australia, Hong Kong and the United States.
Wesley Ward has brought another strong team headed by the exciting American Rascal, whose mother Lady Aurelia won at the royal meeting twice. He contests the Norfolk Stakes.
Others have followed him with Christophe Clement, Tom Morley, Kenny McPeek and George Weaver having runners while Australian sprinters, and Wellington from Hong Kong, are leading contenders in both the King’s Stand Stakes and Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes.
