2026 Prince Of Wales's Stakes Entries
It's been 15 years since France last tasted victory in this historic Group One, but Daryz is favourite to end their wait for a winner. Francis Graffard's star won the Arc at Longchamp in October, and has since claimed two tremendous victories in 10-furlong Group Ones on home soil.
Ombudsman ran out a superb winner of this race 12 months ago, and returns to Ascot on the back of victories in the Dubai Turf and the Brigadier Gerard Stakes. Anmaat recorded a career-best performance to win the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh last month, the form of which was boosted when Bay City Roller romped to victory in the Coronation Cup last weekend.
Daryz's stablemate Calandagan won't be running at Royal Ascot. Bay City Roller won't take up his entry after winning that Group One at Epsom. Minnie Hauk has been entered by Aidan O'Brien, but she might wait for the Pretty Polly Stakes after being thrashed by Almaqam and the other colts in the Tattersalls Gold Cup.
Andrew Balding has handed entries to his two leading mares, with both Kalpana and See The Fire possible runners on Wednesday. John and Thady Gosden's Damysus could join Ombudsman in the field, if he doesn't run in the Queen Anne Stakes. Roger Varian's Saddadd could renew rivalries with Almawam, following a third-place finish at the Curragh.
Other potential runners in Wednesday's feature at Royal Ascot include former Lockinge Stakes runner-up Dancing Gemini, Karl Burke's stalwart Royal Rhyme, and Aidan O'Brien's duo of The Lion In Winter and Expanded.
