Royal Ascot Day 4 Results

2:30pm Albany Stakes Result

Position	Name	SP
1st	Porta Fortuna	5/1
2nd	Matrika	11/1
3rd	Soprano	7/1

Donnacha O'Brien celebrates his first Royal Ascot winner as Frankie Dettori rides the well-backed PORTA FORTUNA to victory in the Albany Stakes. O'Brien's filly tracked down the front-running Matrika, with Soprano and Persian Dreamer staying on to hit the frame.

3:05pm Commonwealth Cup Result

Position	Name	SP
1st	Shaquille	9/1
2nd	Little Big Bear	10/11f
3rd	Swingalong	66/1

What a performance from SHAQUILLE and what a ride from Oisin Murphy. Julie Camacho's star reared coming out of the stalls, gave a classy field a head-start and still came through with a late run to beat Little Big Bear and win the Commonwealth Cup. Brilliant!

3:40pm Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes Result

Position	Name	SP
1st	Okita Soushi	9/1
2nd	HMS President	15/2
3rd	Live Your Dream	11/1
4th	Ajero	22/1

Having watched his younger brother enter the winner's enclosure, Joseph O'Brien gets off the mark for the meeting as Ryan Moore guides OKITA SOUSHI to victory. HMS President ran a cracker to finish second, ahead of Live Your Dream and Ajero.

4:20pm Coronation Stakes Result

Position	Name	SP
1st	Tahiyra	8/13f
2nd	Remarquee	25/1
3rd	Sounds Of Heaven	16/1

After being battered by the bookies all week, punters were celebrating after the Coronation Stakes as favourite TAHIYRA delivers. Chris Hayes' mount did impede eventual runner-up Remarquee two furlongs out, but the stewards judged the interference to be minimal.

Read a recap of the 2023 Coronation Stakes and watch a replay of the finish here...

5:00pm Sandringham Stakes Result

Position	Name	SP
1st	Coppice	6/1f
2nd	Breege	33/1
3rd	Balalaika	66/1
4th	Unless	14/1
5th	Candle Of Hope	50/1

Another winner for Frankie, as he rides the fancied COPPICE to victory in the Sandringham. Breege runs a stormer to place second ahead of Hayley Turner's mount Balalaika. Unless and Candle Of Hope round off the top five.

5:35pm King Edward VII Stakes Result

Position	Name	SP
1st	King Of Steel	11/10f
2nd	Continuous	9/1

Another win for the punters as the well-backed KING OF STEEL claims Group Three glory. Continuous runs on well to finish second, but Roger Varian's winner was far too good on the day.

6:10pm Palace Of Holyrood House Stakes Result

Position	Name	SP
1st	Rhythm N Hooves	12/1
2nd	Kerdos	11/1
3rd	Conquistador	8/1
4th	Radio Goo Goo	10/1
5th	Executive Decision	80/1

A second winner of the week for the Hollie Doyle and Archie Watson partnership as the well-backed RHYTHM N HOOVES gets up late to beat Kerdos in the card-closing sprint. Conquistador powers home to finish third, ahead of Radio Goo Goo and Executive Decision.

The Prince and Princess Of Wales are here today!
