Day-by-day guide to Royal Ascot

Royal Ascot's marvellous five-days of racing begins today and anticipation is building ahead of the finest Flat action in the world.

The Royal Ascot schedule runs from today through to Saturday with all 35 races broadcast.

All five days are Hong Kong World Pool events so bet into the massive pools with TAB.

Below you'll find a day-by-day guide to Royal Ascot 2025 with all the important races and the big horses to follow.

Today: Royal Ascot tips and schedule The opening day at Royal Ascot isn't short of blockbuster action with three Group 1s on the card. The Queen Anne, the King Charles III and St James's Palace make the first three of the eight Group 1s over the five days.

The Group 2 Coventry Stakes, exclusively for two-year-old colts, is sure to see the emergence of some future stars, while competitive handicaps the Ascot Stakes and Copper Horse Stakes are sure to offer punters some lively opportunities to land a big-priced winner.

The big race: If you're after a thriller, look no further than the Queen Anne. Rosallion, Lead Artist, Dancing Gemini and Notable Speech are poised for a fascinating rematch of the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury. They are the top four in the betting and also the same quartet who filled the frame that day.

Rosallion returns as last year's St James's Palace winner, while Lead Artist and Dancing Gemini have already exchanged blows upon each other this season. Notable Speech will be hoping to improve on his fourth in the Lockinge. The likes of Sardinian Warrior, Lake Forest and Diego Velazquez for top trainer Aidan O'Brien will be looking to spoil their party.

The big horse: Field Of Gold has arguably been the biggest talent of the Flat season so far. After all the drama surrounding Kieran Shoemark's ride on the Juddmonte colt in the 2,000 Guineas, and his ludicrously good showing in the Irish 2000 Guineas, a win in the St James's Palace Stakes would cement his rise to the top.
