The confirmed list of runners and riders for the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot on Friday 21st June.
There are 15 confirmed runners for the 2024 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot.
Inisherin
The horse to take the scalp of Vandeek in the Sandy Lane is Inisherin, where he showed a great turn of foot to win emphatically in the hands of Tom Eaves.
Owned by Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum's, the colt stays at least a mile so the stiff six furlongs at Ascot should be right up his street. It would be no surprise if he went off favourite on the day.
Elite Status
Another horse at the top of the market owned by Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum, Elite Status showed a lot of speed when bolting up in the Carnarvon Stakes at Newbury on his return.
That was his first start in 231 days so he's entitled to come on for the run, but he disappointed at Group 1 level twice last year so the jury is still out as to whether he's good enough at this level.
Jasour
Jasour produced an incredible turn of foot when winning the Commonwealth Cup Trial at Ascot last month. It was a welcome bounce back to form for the Havana Grey colt, who disappointed at Group 1 level twice last year.
Tactics will play a big part here and this strong traveller will enjoy being tucked away behind a strong pace. Expect him to fly home late and he could hit the frame.
