The penultimate day of Royal Ascot action takes place this afternoon as Flat racing’s most prestigious meet continues.
Kyprios won the Gold Cup on Thursday, getting the better of Stradivarius and Frankie Dettori, while there was disappointment for the Queen’s horse Reach For The Moon, who was odds-on favourite in the Hampton Court Stakes.
There are two Group One races to look forward to on Friday, with the Commonwealth Cup and Coronation Stakes taking place.
