Royal Ascot Saturday tips and full race card - list of runners on day 5
Godolphin and William Buick have both been among the winners at Royal Ascot this week, but trainer Charlie Appleby has yet to get one on the board.
The Newmarket trainer will be hoping to put that right on the final day of the meeting and has two strong chances in the opening two races. Treanmor, a €2million purchase, won by four lengths on debut at Newmarket next month and looks set to go off favourite in the Chesham Stakes.
Meanwhile, Rebel's Romance looks the one to beat in the Hardwicke Stakes as Appleby aims to provide Godolphin and Buick with more success at the Royal meeting.
The sole Group 1 on the final day is the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes as Inisherin aims to follow up his victory in the Commonwealth Cup last year. Kevin Ryan's horses have been running well this week and Buick takes the ride.

Royal Ascot: Lazzat fends off Satono Reve to take Jubilee crown
French raider Lazzat broke Japanese hearts as he outbattled Satono Reve in a thrilling international finish to the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot . Satono Reve was sent off the 2-1 favourite to become the first Japanese winner at the Royal meeting and was travelling powerfully throughout the contest in the hands of Joao Moreira. However, it was Jerome Reynier's Lazzat, who made every yard in the hands of James Doyle, who stayed on strongest in the closing stages, striking on his first start for owners Wathnan Racing at odds of 9-2 to continue a fine week for both his rider and owners. There was drama after the finish as Lazzat unshipped Doyle as the pair returned to receive the Ascot applause, with the four-year-old running loose for some time before eventually being caught and safely returned to the stables. READ MORE Lazzat was adding a second Group One win to his tally after landing last year's Prix Maurice de Gheest, but he had been beaten in Australia when sent on his travels at the end of the campaign. Reynier, saddling his first Royal Ascot winner, said: 'He did [win at the top level] as a three-year-old in the Maurice de Gheest in Deauville but after having been all the way to Australia and Hong Kong, I was a bit scared that it was going to be tough to find Lazzat the same as he was but obviously we have been trying him over a mile to open his options, but he's a pure sprinter and we will stick to the sprinting distances over the straight courses for his future. 'That was a pretty tough challenge [from Satono Reve]. I've been watching all his races and he's always coming late and he's always running on but James had a really good feeling with the horse and when the Japanese came to him, he put his ears back and tried again and he said there was no way he was going to pass him today.' Paddy Power cut Lazzat to 7-2 favourite from 8-1 for the July Cup at Newmarket, but Reynier feels that is an unlikely option. He added: 'The July Cup is coming a little quickly I guess but maybe we'll defend his crown in the Maurice de Gheest, we've got the Sprint Cup [at Haydock] and we can be back here in October [Qipco British Champions Sprint] because he can handle any ground, if the ground is heavy he can do it then as well. 'He's a very good champion. Today everything went right for once and we're happy to have a first Royal Ascot winner, especially for Wathnan and Nurlan Bizakov as a breeder. I'm very happy for the connections involved.' Reflecting on Lazzat's post-race antics, Reynier said: 'I was too happy to throw the winning sheet on him, he got a bit spooky and he obviously wasn't too tired after the race so he said 'let's have a spin around the track'! 'We were so proud of him and wanted to be out on the track with him, but James was saying 'hi' to the crowd and was not paying attention maybe to what he was going to do. 'He's a funny character, that is why he is Lazzat and he is our champion.' While Deauville, Haydock and a return to Ascot look like being on Lazzat's short-to-medium term agenda, the trainer also has one eye on what would be a mouthwatering clash with Hong Kong's superstar sprinter Ka Ying Rising before the end of 2025. He added: 'I would love to take him on one day. Let him fight in The Everest and all the big challenges he's got this year and maybe at the end of the year we can take him on in his hometown at Sha Tin in the Hong Kong Sprint, why not? 'If he can win two or three more Group Ones this year he'll definitely be the best sprinter in Europe and that would be a good thing.' Doyle, riding his fourth winner of the week, said: 'He just spooked at the winner's sheet and got loose for 15 minutes or so – not ideal, is it, but it shows he had a fair bit left! He's a quality horse. 'What a horse race with the Japanese horse coming to join me near the line, and he really pinned his ears back and attacked the line, so he's got some talent and he wasn't going to get beaten today. 'That was a first for me [being unseated like that], and it was a shame because it would have been nice to be able to come in with the horse, not by myself, but there we go. I did apologise to the King and Queen when I went to collect my prize and said I should have stayed in Pony Club a bit longer than I did, and we had a good laugh about that. 'This was the one we wanted – it's a proper race and we've got a proper horse on our hands.'

Royal Ascot round-up: Rebel''s Romance reigns in Hardwicke Stakes
Globetrotting star Rebel's Romance belatedly got Charlie Appleby off the mark at Royal Ascot this year with a typically determined display in the Hardwicke Stakes. A dual winner of the Breeders' Cup Turf, a multiple Group One victor in Germany and also successful at the highest level in Dubai and Hong Kong, the seven-year-old secured his biggest victory on home soil to date in last month's Yorkshire Cup and he was a 6-4 shot to follow up under William Buick. Favourite backers will have had few concerns, with Rebel's Romance travelling strongly throughout and he found plenty up the straight to score comfortably by a length and three-quarters from Al Riffa, with Ghostwriter third. Appleby, who had not saddled a Royal Ascot winner since 2022 and had seen well-fancied horses like Notable Speech, Ruling Court, Cinderella's Dream and Treanmor beaten this week, was relieved to get himself into the big-race winner's enclosure. REBEL'S ROMANCE wins The Hardwicke Stakes for Charlie Appleby. Congratulations to connections. — Ascot Racecourse (@Ascot) June 21, 2025 "Rebel's Romance is a worldwide superstar. I've got a picture of this fellow on my bedside table. He means that much to us all," said the Moulton Paddocks handler. "He's the only horse I know that you can take to Hong Kong and he'll get you into any bar and restaurant! You can get in anywhere on the back of Rebel's Romance. "As William says, he's his best friend and they have that great rapport there. You couldn't get two more willing partners together. "I have to give credit to the team at home. When you have an older horse, to keep them sound and keep them going, for him to have his enthusiasm year after year at this level. "As they get older they all taper, as we all do, that's expected. He might get a bit slower but his enthusiasm and his heart does not falter one iota." Reflecting on the week, Appleby added: "You can come here thinking you're fully loaded and have great chances, and you can walk away with excuses, but that's racing. I would like to think that we compose ourselves well, we take it on the chin and then we look forward to moving on. "Once something comes to Rebel's Romance, he finds. You very rarely get a horse that when it gets into the red, he still goes. "If there was one horse that you were having to roll your last dice on in this game, it was going to be him. Win, lose or draw he's going to go out there and go out on his sword for you." Humidity made his rivals feel the heat in the Chesham Stakes thanks to a fine front-running ride from James Doyle. Trained by Andrew Balding, he was an impressive winner in the colours of Cheveley Park Stud over six furlongs at Newbury on debut, but transferred to the ownership of Wathnan Racing ahead of stepping up to seven furlongs for this Listed event. Humidity was quickly away and never passed by his rivals, showing great resolve when challenged late in the day to replicate his brother Holloway Boy, who won this contest on debut at the 2022 Royal meeting. The Chesham Stakes goes the way of @the_doyler on board HUMIDITY for @AndrewBalding2 — Ascot Racecourse (@Ascot) June 21, 2025 Balding said of his 4-1 winner: "I am so pleased and at the beginning of the week we felt this horse was probably our strongest chance. "He's a lovely horse who had to battle hard today, and he's done nothing wrong. I would hope he would stay further, but he's not short of speed either. This was always the plan but we will now work back from something nice in the autumn. "He's so laid back. I'm a big fan of Ulysses – I think he's an under-rated stallion, so this is good for him and we've got a couple of other nice horses by him, but he (Humidity) is an absolute dude, very relaxed. "I think he could be a Guineas horse. He's not short of speed and he's got a lovely long stride, so he's got a bright future." Noble Champion provided trainer Ed Walker and jockey Kieran Shoemark with their second Royal Ascot winner in as many days after careering clear of his rivals in the Jersey Stakes. Having successfully combined with 22-1 shot Never Let Go in Friday's Sandringham Stakes, Walker and Shoemark teamed up with another relative outsider in Noble Champion, who was 25-1 having struggled to make an impact in Group Three and Listed company this spring. But stepped back up in trip from six to seven furlongs for this Group Three assignment, the Lope De Vega colt flourished, racing in the slipstream of the pacesetting Spy Chief for much of the way before taking over and pulling three and a quarter lengths clear, despite hanging left late on. Favourite Comanche Brave was just under three further back in third. NOBLE CHAMPION wins impressively for Kieran Shoemark, and @edwalkerracing. Congratulations to connections on winning The Jersey Stakes. — Ascot Racecourse (@Ascot) June 21, 2025 "It just hasn't panned out, he had a setback in January that messed up our prep for the Greenham," said Walker. "We thought he was a Guineas horse, we really believed a lot in him. We thought we'd go a sensible route and we went in a conditions race at Goodwood over a mile, there wasn't much pace. He was keen and he just got it all wrong. "We brought him back to six, he just shows so much speed at home – we even thought about supplementing him for the Commonwealth Cup because he has so much speed. "Finally the trainer got it right! He's as good a work horse as we've had, he's a very impressive horse. He's very quick with such a high cruising speed, he's very, very smart. "He's driven me mad, I'm guilty of wearing my heart on my sleeve and I tell my owners if I think the horses are good, bad or ugly. I told Simon (Sadler, owner) how much belief I had in this horse, we were gutted he got beaten on debut. "I said to Simon that if it didn't work today, then I didn't know what was going wrong. The ground, track, and trip was all right." Get It just held on to deny the fast-finishing big-race favourite More Thunder after making every yard in the Wokingham Stakes. An all-the-way winner of the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last year, George Baker's seven-year-old arrived at the Royal meeting having broken the track record from the front over course and distance last month. Sent off at 28-1 in the hands Seamie Heffernan, he was away quickly leading the majority of the field up the centre of the track and although William Haggas' 3-1 market leader More Thunder was weaving his way through the field to challenge late on, Get It had enough up his sleeve to deliver a head verdict. "He broke Blue Point's record here six weeks ago and that was a great thrill – and it got us into this race," said Baker. "Seamie has given him a peach. All credit to Pat Cosgrave who, annoyingly, is banned. Pat has been the making of this horse and a great, great friend of mine and I'd love Patsy to be riding him obviously because we've had a lot of fun along the way – but what a wonderful substitute in Seamie. "He breezed the horse a couple of times in Bahrain, loved him, and he did what Patsy always does. Let him burn out of the stalls and then he'll come back to you and then he'll go again. "When he was still in front two furlongs out and they were coming, I knew he would go again. But that last furlong took about three days! What a horse. He's danced a lot of dances and has been an absolute superstar for us." Quai De Bethune got up in the very last stride to to deny favourite backers in the Golden Gates Stakes. Ralph Beckett's Seraph Gabriel was all the rage as the 11-4 market leader following an eyecatching comeback run at Sandown, and he looked set to oblige after quickening up from the rear to grab the lead under Rossa Ryan. However, the Andrew Balding-trained 12-1 chance Quai De Bethune came from even further back in the hands of Oisin Murphy and while there was little to choose between the pair passing the post, the judge confirmed Balding's charge had got up by a nose. QUAI DE BETHUNE takes The Golden Gates Stakesto give @oismurphy a fifth winner of the week and a second win on the day for @AndrewBalding2. Congratulations to connections. — Ascot Racecourse (@Ascot) June 21, 2025 "I'm very pleased. We've had this race in mind for him for a good while now, but you need everything to go right," said the Kingsclere handler.

Trainer wins €1.2m Royal Ascot race after blasting jockey over 'terrible ride'
A trainer who blasted a jockey over what he described as "perhaps the worst ride given to one of my horses" was celebrating after winning the feature race at Royal Ascot on Saturday. French contender Lazzat shattered Japanese hopes as he outbattled Satono Reve in a thrilling international finish to the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes. Satono Reve was the 2-1 favourite to become the first Japanese victor at the Royal meeting and Joao Moreira rode him powerfully throughout the race. However, it was Jerome Reynier's Lazzat, ridden by James Doyle, who proved strongest in the final stages, striking on his first start for owners Wathnan Racing at odds of 9-2, continuing a successful week for both jockey and owners. It was a change of fortunes for Reynier, who blasted jockey Flavien Prat for the ride he gave his runner Facteur Cheval in the £1million Prince of Wales's Stakes on Wednesday. Prat flew over from America to team up with the 25/1 shot, who finished sixth of eight behind impressive winner Ombudsman, and the trainer was far from impressed with what he saw. Reynier told the Racing Post: "He (the horse) has come out of the race well, despite his jockey doing absolutely nothing to help him. I think it was perhaps the worst ride given to one of my horses since I became a trainer. "In a race with loads of pace, he elected to lead the chase (behind pacemaker Continuous). He was the first to commit on the turn for home and launched his attack three wide with no cover and too far out." He added: "Flavien thought he was at Santa Anita or Del Mar where they have short straights and the tracks are flat. "And I don't think it was a judicious move to use a jockey who rides in that style. It was just a terrible ride." Paddy Power cut Lazzat to 7-2 favourite from 8-1 for the July Cup at Newmarket following his win on Saturday, but Reynier feels that is an unlikely option. He added: 'The July Cup is coming a little quickly I guess but maybe we'll defend his crown in the Maurice de Gheest, we've got the Sprint Cup and we can be back here in October because he can handle any ground, if the ground is heavy he can do it then as well. 'He's a very good champion. Today everything went right for once and we're happy to have a first Royal Ascot winner, especially for Wathnan and Nurlan Bizakov as a breeder. I'm very happy for the connections involved." There was drama after the finish as Lazzat unshipped Doyle as the pair returned to receive the Ascot applause, with the four-year-old running loose for some time before eventually being caught and safely returned to the stables. Lazzat was adding a second Group One win to his tally after landing last year's Prix Maurice de Gheest, but he had been beaten in Australia when sent on his travels at the end of the campaign.
