Royal Ascot 2025: Complete list of Stats Guides for Royal Ascot meet.
Run for the first time in 2020, this handicap for older horses over an extended 1m6f still needs time for trends to bed in, though it could be an insightful guide to Ebor again.
This will be the eighth year of the Wolferton being a Listed race (upgraded from a Listed handicap) over 1m2f on the round course, so new trends still need to bed in. Since the race lost its handicap status, five of the last six winners have been aged five or six, whereas four-year-olds previously fared much the best, so that’s a change worth noting.
Despite Reshoun winning at 66/1 four years ago, the Ascot Stakes has unquestionably been the most punter-friendly handicap at the meeting, with 13 of the last 16 winners sent off no bigger than 14/1, while in the last 35 years as a many as 23 winners could be found in the first six in the betting.
