This race favours a progressive type who gets in on a mid-range weight. In the last three runnings since the races resumption, all bar one of the first three places have gone to a four year old.

Good form in a big field handicap is a positive pointer whilst a high draw is often an advantage, although Inver Pack bucked the trend by striking from stall 2 last year. The previous four winners had come from stalls 32, 29, 26 and 31.

Another 29 runner cavalry charge in the shape of the Buckingham Palace Stakes Handicap. Kingdom Come is the tentative pick now dripping back in trip for Clive Cox. He appeared to run out of petrol within the final furlong last time out at Newbury and can be thereabouts.

Buckingham Palace Stakes History & Past Winners

An obvious steppingstone to this contest is the Victoria Cup over course and distance in May (Louis The Pious took that route prior to winning in 2014), Recent 7F/1M handicaps at Newmarket, Haydock and York are also worth checking.

The only trainer to have won the race twice is Yorkshire based Kevin Ryan with Uhoomagoo (2006) and Lightning Cloud (2013).

In the sixteen runnings there has never been a successful favourite and the only winners not at double figure odds were 8-1 shots Unscrupulous (2004) and Jedburgh (2005).
