Packed pullouts and FREE shop bets every day of the iconic festival from your trusted racing paper - don't miss out!
Royal Ascot is one of the major highlights of the racing calendar, as well as being a huge social occasion graced by members of the Royal family, celebrities and fashionistas and your Daily Record will be providing unmissable coverage throughout the week. And your Record is bringing you 12 page pullouts EVERY day of the festival, plus FREE shop bets from fan favourite William Hill inside your paper from Tuesday 17 until Saturday 21 June.
This year the event celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Royal procession, a tradition begun by King George IV in 1825 which has continued to present day with the royal party and guests arriving by carriage up the racecourse from Windsor Castle. Over the course of five unmissable days, Ascot will host seven races each day comprising at least one Group 1 highlight for total prize-money of £10 million. The two richest races are the Prince of Wales's Stakes on Wednesday and the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes on Saturday, both worth £1m.
The Gold Cup, worth £600,000 is Royal Ascot's oldest surviving race and the highlight of Thursday, celebrated as Ladies' Day, which often attracts the largest attendance of the week. The increasingly international fixture will again attract runners from Australia, the United States, Japan as well as from across Europe. Asfoora, the Australian sprinter who captured the King Charles III Stakes a year ago, has returned to defend her crown.
Elsewhere Aidan O'Brien, fresh from winning his 11th Derby, is expected to dominate a meeting at which he has been the leading trainer 13 times, and in each of the last three years. Likewise his jockey Ryan Moore will seek his fourth leading rider title in a row to add to his total of 11 successes.

‘We're sweating' – Three Royal Ascot runners the bookies DREAD winning amid surge of support for Aidan O'Brien ‘freak'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BOOKIES have revealed the three Royal Ascot runners they DREAD winning - amid an 'unusual' surge of support for an Aidan O'Brien 'freak'. With a whopping 35 races to get stuck into across five days, Ascot presents a punting puzzle arguably like no other. 1 Superstar miler Rosallion is being backed to get revenge for his Lockinge defeat Credit: PA But one filly is standing head and shoulders above the rest after she absolutely blitzed rivals on debut. Zelaina was all the rage with punters who saw the £650,000 Wathnan-owned filly bolt up at Nottingham earlier this month for trainer Karl Burke. Jockey James Doyle could hardly hide his delight after and admitted the potential star had 'a hell of an engine'. She was immediately made 4-1 favourite for Wednesday's Queen Mary on the back of that, but William Hill spokesperson Lee Phelps revealed the money had not stopped pouring in. He said: "Royal Ascot is only around the corner and we're champing at the bit for the five-day extravaganza to start. "While there's not quite the same ante-post fervour around this meeting as there is for Cheltenham, there are still a number of horses who'll soon have us sweating under our top hats and tails. "Zelaina created a huge impression on her debut for Karl Burke, and we laid a good chunk at 4-1 for her to win the Queen Mary. "And after Burke was so effusive in his praise for the filly, she's been backed again into 7-4. "She is currently our worst liability across the meeting." Royal Ascot best-backed horses Zelaina – Queen Mary Stakes – 7-4 from 4-1 Rosallion – Queen Anne Stakes – 3-1 from 9-2 Storm Boy – Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes – 6-1 from 16-1 My Cloud – Royal Hunt Cup – 5-1 from 8-1 The Liffey – Royal Hunt Cup – 10-1 from 20-1 Handicap hotpots William Hill spokesperson Lee Phelps said: "We've managed to dodge two big liabilities already with Kyprios and Albert Einstein sadly ruled out of the meeting, but it's in the handicaps where we've also seen horses catch our eye. "In the Royal Hunt Cup, we've had to cut My Cloud into 5-1 favourite from 8-1 after some bullish comments from Roger Varian in a stable tour. "Varian is a master at bringing horses like this through the grades, and this fella looks like one we'll want to get beat next week. "There's also been some notable money for Joseph O'Brien's The Liffey in the same race. "The Carriganóg team think this guy is a really well-handicapped runner, and that kind of confidence has to be respected. "Between My Cloud and The Liffey, the Royal Hunt Cup could be a race we're watching from behind the back of the sofa." Phelps picked out one superstar miler and a potentially awesome O'Brien sprinter as the other two they fear the most. He said: "While Rosallion didn't win the Lockinge, punters seem to have warmed to him since. "He was 9-2 straight after his defeat to Lead Artist at Newbury, but it seems that many think that form will be reversed in the Queen Anne, so much so that he's now a 3-1 shot. "We expect him to be popular on the day too once people realise they can back last year's uber impressive St James's Palace winner at around 3-1. "One liability that's a little more unusual is Storm Boy in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee. "He looked fairly lacklustre when making his Irish debut at the Curragh last month, and he drifted right out to 16s for Royal Ascot afterwards but has been all the rage since. "He's now a strong 6-1 shot and the weight of money behind him suggests that Aidan O'Brien has worked his magic on this Aussie import."

Aldi drops 'divine' new lip balms similar to iconic £23 brand for under £4
Aldi's latest Lacura beauty buy has already been crowned the standout of its latest summer line-up. It's very rare that a new Aldi beauty buy goes unnoticed. Not only do they offer high quality on a budget, but they often mimic high-end brands. With lip balms being a viral summer must-have at the moment, it should come as no surprise that the budget supermarket has jumped on the latest beauty trend with a trio that is similar to an iconic brand - but at over £19 cheaper. The German discounter's newly launched Lacura Lip Butter Balms, priced at £3.49 each, are said to boast a "buttery smooth" and "nourishing" formula, with three flavours available to choose from - Cake Pop, Dulce De Leche and Vanilla. Boasting a high-shine formula, they have been infused with a blend of hydrating ingredients Shea Butter & Murumuru Seed Butter for a softer, smoother looking pout. Even though they are a recent addition, they have already bowled over the supermarket's newly created Beauty Club, a panel of shoppers turned beauty insiders, who crowned the balms the standout product from the new summer line. To entice beauty fans even more, many have confirmed that they are borderline identical to the iconic Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balms that cost £23, making Aldi's 'dupe' £19.50 less expensive. It's not the only beauty trend Aldi has jumped on recently, as it also dipped its toes into K-beauty with its brand new £4.99 Watermelon Serums that are 84 percent cheaper than beloved brand Glow Recipe. For the beauty buffs who want to get that contoured appearance, there is also the brand new Lacura Sculpting Bronzing Stick, £4.49, that is available in shades 'light' and 'medium' offering a creamy texture that "blends like an absolute dream." However, it's the lip saviours that seem to have caught the eye of many devoted fans, as many of them said they were "obsessed" and "need them all" after they were shared on Aldi's Instagram account. The full caption read: "Safe to say we're OBSESSED. Will you be picking up Vanilla, Cake Pop or Dulce De Leche? Lacura Lip Balm £3.49 in store now!" As is the case with all Lacura Specialbuys, they were instantly popular as one shopper gushed: "Got all 3 today! Love an Aldi dupe." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

While a second rushed to say: "These are amazing definitely the star of the show!!!" Another devoted shopper said: "Got all 3 they smell & feel divineee." And someone else simply wrote: "Obsessed." The £3.49 Lacura Lip Butter Balm Trio is available to buy in Aldi stores nationwide now. Remember, as is the case with all Specialbuys, once they are gone, they are gone, and stock can differ in each store.
