Most winners had a decent level of form with 5 of the last 9 having been tried in listed company, although two of the last four winners in Tactical and Southern Hills bucked that tend by breaking their maiden in the race.

The route to this race involves a listed contest (5 of the last 10 had run in the National Stakes at Sandown, the Marble Hill Stakes at The Curragh or in a US listed race), the other path is through maidens and novices.

Aidan O’Brien has some juvenile talent in his stables this season and can take the Windsor Castle Stakes with his once raced Johannes Brahms. He went off odds on on his debut when winning at Naas and the word is he’s rated second only to their Coventry runner River Tiber in the current pecking order.

Windsor Castle Stakes History & Past Winners

Ten current trainers achieved their first Royal Ascot success in this contest, most recently Archie Watson who scored with 12/1 shot Soldier’s Call in 2018. Maybe the bigger stables choose the more important juvenile races at the meeting giving the lower profiles ones something to aim at.

This is the most open two year old contest of the week with 9 of the last 17 renewals having been 12/1 or bigger with half of the last ten winners coming from outside the top six in the betting.

Fillies have a mixed record in the race having won five in a row from 1996 to 2000 but only one has placed in the last ten years with 9 out of the last 10 by a sire with a stamina index of 6.5F – 8.1F whilst 8 out of the last 10 winners had ran two to three times.
