Hong Kong star Wellington at Ascot

Ascot, Saturday 24 June: The magnificent Royal Ascot Festival concludes today with a seven-race card. The main players are the sprinters in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (3rd race/16.40pm/1m pounds/1207m).

Artorius (James McDonald) narrowly missed out on victory last year, finishing third ahead of Sacred (Tom Marquand) and Highfield Princess (Jason Hart), who also followed closely. It is the Australian`s first start after finishing fourth in the George Ryader Stakes (Group 1). Sacred was also off the pace after winning the Chartwell Fillies Stakes (Group 3), while Highfield Princess ran here only four days ago in the King`s Stand Stakes (Group 1) and took silver.

The real star of the race is Wellington (Ryan Moore) from the stable of Richard Gibson. Running outside Hong Kong for the first time, the six-time Euro millionaire has yet to win a race this year but has hit the bullseye a total of twelve times in his adopted country. Kinross (Frankie Dettori) makes his comeback. He last ran in the Breeders` Cup (Group 1) and finished third. Prior to that, the six-year-old triumphed in the Champions Sprint Stakes (Group 1) against Run To Freedom (Daniel O`Neill) and Rohaan (Adam Kirby), who are again among his opponents. Big Invasion (Jim Crowley) is travelling from the USA. He currently ran at Group 1 level and narrowly missed out on victory.
