2026 Sun Chariot Stakes Entries


Blue Bolt dominates the betting for this year's Sun Chariot Stakes. Andrew Balding's filly has enjoyed an unbeaten campaign thus far and will attempt to win a fourth Group One in a row following victories in the Falmouth Stakes, the Prix Rothschild and the Matron Stakes.

Blue Bolt's last defeat came in this race 12 months ago, when she bumped into Fallen Angel, and Karl Burke's filly will return to defend her crown following a decent third in the Matron. City Of Memphis finished closest to the market leader at Leopardstown, and Paddy Twomey's progressive four-year-old could line up in opposition again at Newmarket.

Irish Guineas winner Precise has finished behind Blue Bolt in three of her last four starts but could still represent Aidan O'Brien this weekend. Owen Burrows' Dick Hern Stakes winner Calendar Girl looks set to step into Group One company for the first time. Valiant Stakes winner Kon Tiki will take her chance, provided the ground at Newmarket remains on the firmer side of good.

Moon Target wasn't beaten far when third behind Blue Bolt in the Prix Rothschild two starts ago. Other potential runners include Atalanta Stakes winner Love Dynasty, Sceptre Stakes scorer Pina Sonata, Ralph Beckett's lightly raced three-year-old Secret Of Life and Karl Burke's second string, Evolutionist.
