2025 King Charles III Stakes Entries
Oisin Murphy guided Asfoora to a sparkling victory in this sprinter 12 months ago and Henry Dwyer's mare returns from Australia to defend her crown. The defending champion sits second in the betting behind fellow mare Believing, who is currently in-foal to Frankel, having been snapped up by Coolmore before her triumph in the Al Quoz Sprint.
Ed Bethell's Regional stayed on to finish third to Believing in that lucrative Group One and holds an entry in both of the high-profile sprints at Royal Ascot. Mgheera will step back up to Group One class following her victory in the Temple Stakes. Karl Burke's Night Raider also sits prominently in the market.
Kind Of Blue returned with a shocking effort out in France but James Fanshawe's Champion Sprinter should improve for that outing. Ralph Beckett will likely be represented by Breeders' Cup winner Starlust. Andrew Balding has entered Duke Of York Stakes runner-up Flora Of Bermuda, who has been snapped up by Wathnan Racing ahead of her Royal Ascot challenge.
George Scott's West Acre and Aidan O'Brien's duo of Storm Boy and Whistlejacket have been entered against the elders on the opening day of Royal Ascot. Other possible runners include Achilles Stakes winner Balmoral Lady, progressive handicapper American Affair, and Group Three winner No Half Measures.
