International Sprinters Join Highfield Princess as Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Runners

Australian sprinter Artorius is the nominal favourite following final declarations, but the story surrounds Highfield Princess after she hit the frame in Royal Ascot’s other top level dash on Tuesday. The way she shaped there for Yorkshire trainer John Quinn suggested the extra furlong would suit.

Wellington is a big name in Hong Kong after winning many of the top sprints out there. Plenty will fancy their chances with over £560,000 going to the winner. Course specialist Rohaan is not without claims, while Kinross and Sacred bring form over further to the table.

It’s naturally a competitive event with lots of Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes runners you can make a case for backing. Elements like draw bias, liking quick ground if the forecast remains dry and being smartly away from the stalls are all aspects that will help the winner.

Complete Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Runners Guide 2023

Godolphin first colours1. Al Suhail

  • Age: 6
  • Rating: 118
  • Draw: Stall 12
  • Jockey: William Buick
  • Trainer: Charlie Appleby
  • Form: 2132/01/3036131/0537-113
  • Notable Career Wins: 2021 Challenge Stakes, 2023 Al Fahidi Fort, 2023 Ras Al Khor
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 16/1

Dual Meydan winner over the winter at 7f, then chinned close home when half-length third in the Al Quoz Sprint on Dubai World Cup Night latest. Tried at a mile and further earlier in his career. Question mark if he has the pace to get involved here, but bang in contention on ratings.


Artorius silks2. Artorious

  • Age: 5
  • Rating: 116
  • Draw: Stall 8
  • Jockey: James McDonald
  • Trainers: Anthony & Sam Freedman (AUS)
  • Form: 211622433/66336-14
  • Notable Career Wins: 2021 Blue Diamond Stakes, 2023 Canterbury Stakes
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 6/1 (from 4/1)

Australian sprinter that dead-heated for third in this race 12 months ago and then filled the same spot in the July Cup at Newmarket. Never in contention sixth behind Highfield Princess in Prix Maurice de Gheest, but extended 6f Group 1 winner Down Under since. Close up fourth in George Ryder over further latest. One of the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes runners to respect.


King Power Racing silks3. Art Power

  • Age: 6
  • Rating: 114
  • Draw: Stall 11
  • Jockey: Oisin Murphy
  • Trainer: Tim Easterby
  • Form: 31/111644/6348514/4818366-81
  • Notable Career Wins: 2020 Lacken Stakes, 2021 & 2022 Renaissance Stakes, 2023 Greenlands Stakes
  • Ascot Wins: 2020 Palace Of Holyrood House Handicap
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 22/1 (from 14/1)

Last four wins have come in Ireland, three at the Curragh, since landing the Palace Of Holyrood House over 5f at the Royal meeting in 2020. Course and distance form figures of 4348 with best of those efforts in this race two years ago. Comes here off back of morale boosting win, but long time since he backed one up.


Blank silks4. Big Invasion

  • Age: 4
  • Rating: 111
  • Draw: Stall 7
  • Jockey: Jim Crowley
  • Trainer: Christophe Clement (USA)
  • Form: 21111113-172
  • Notable Career Wins: 2022 Quick Call Stakes
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 16/1 (from 25/1)

US sprinter with four Listed wins and a Group 3 victory under his belt across the Atlantic. Unlucky seventh in Twin Spires Turf Sprint on Kentucky Derby card and closing second in Jaipur Stakes on Belmont Stakes day latest. Chance if building on that and getting away on terms with other Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes runners out the stalls.


Blank silks

5. Cannonball

  • Age: 4
  • Rating: 107
  • Draw: Stall 4
  • Jockey: Brett Prebble
  • Trainers: Peter & Paul Snowden (AUS)
  • Form: 54/114843-130
  • Notable Career Wins: 2023 Maurice McCarten Stakes
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 50/1 (from 40/1)

Very difficult to fancy after trailing in last in the King’s Stand Stakes here earlier in the week, but far side was place to be on that day and his draw saw him lead a small near side cluster.


Coeur De Pierre silks6. Coeur De Pierre

  • Age: 7
  • Rating: 110
  • Draw: Stall 5
  • Jockey: Tony Piccone
  • Trainer: M Delcher Sanchez (ESP)
  • Form: 516922/15142/672310/1231-9
  • Notable Career Wins: 2022 Prix de Seine-et-Oise
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 40/1 (from 28/1)

Prix de l’Abbaye third and Chantilly Group 3 win last autumn, but doesn’t seem so effective on good ground. Spanish sprinter needs rain to have any realistic hope of getting involved.


Sheikh Mohammed Obaid silks7. Emaraaty Ana

  • Age: 7
  • Rating: 113
  • Draw: Stall 13
  • Jockey: Neil Callan
  • Trainer: Kevin Ryan
  • Form: 1315/0051/338/233701214/0006322-9
  • Notable Career Wins: 2018 Gimcrack Stakes, 2021 Haydock Sprint Cup
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 40/1 (from 50/1)

Mercurial talent who likes fast going. Connections masterminded 33/1 upset in the Queen Anne on the opening day, but this sprinter very difficult to catch right. Best performances throughout career have come towards the end of summer and into autumn. Weakened into 15th in this 12 months ago, so other Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes runners appeal more.


Fitri Hay silks8. Khaadem

  • Age: 7
  • Rating: 108
  • Draw: Stall 2
  • Jockey: Jamie Spencer
  • Trainer: Charlie Hills
  • Form: 311/172100/44/03254518/381149-0603
  • Notable Career Wins: 2019 Stewards’ Cup, 2022 Palace House Stakes, 2022 King George Qatar Stakes
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 80/1 (from 50/1)

Fourth in this race three years ago, but withdrawn last season after not cooperating in the stalls. Group wins at Newmarket and Glorious Goodwood either side of that, but little signs of encouragement since. Must step up on running on third at Salisbury latest in much deeper waters.


Marc Chan silks9. Kinross

  • Age: 6
  • Rating: 119
  • Draw: Stall 1
  • Jockey: Frankie Dettori
  • Trainer: Ralph Beckett
  • Form: 15/68491/6611549/38211113-
  • Notable Career Wins: 2021 Lennox Stakes, 2022 City Of York Stakes, 2022 Park Stakes, 2022 Prix de la Foret
  • Ascot Wins: 2022 Champions Sprint Stakes
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 6/1 (from 10/1)

Something of a 7f specialist who notched four-timer last summer and autumn with City Of York, Park Stakes, Foret and Champions Sprint wins before close third in Breeders’ Cup Mile latest. One of the fancied Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes runners for sure, but record fresh is a concern on reappearance.


Rohaan silks new10. Rohaan

  • Age: 5
  • Rating: 122
  • Draw: Stall 10
  • Jockey: Adam Kirby
  • Trainer: David Evans
  • Form: 797111/252151110950/8781447314-8
  • Notable Career Wins: 2021 Sandy Lane Stakes
  • Ascot Wins: 2021 Commonwealth Cup Trial, 2021 & 2022 Wokingham Stakes, 2022 Bengough Stakes
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 10/1 (from 12/1)

Genuine course and distance specialist with four wins here to his name. Dual Wokingham scorer and fourth in the Champions Sprint here in the autumn. Expect him to be primed for this and strip fitter for reappearance at Salisbury. A definite each way bet.


Run To Freedom silks11. Run To Freedom

  • Age: 5
  • Rating: 113
  • Draw: Stall 13
  • Jockey: Dane O’Neill
  • Trainer: Henry Candy
  • Form: 021/26713912/4101942-41
  • Notable Career Wins: 2022 Leisure Stakes, 2023 Cathedral Stakes
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 25/1 (from 22/1)

Champions Sprint second at 150/1 over course and distance last autumn for trainer known for his exploits with such types. Built on reappearance at Haydock with Listed victory at Salisbury latest. Dark horse on pick of his form.


The Astrologist silks12. The Astrologist

  • Age: 7
  • Rating:
  • Draw: Stall 6
  • Jockey: Damian Lane
  • Trainers: Leon & Troy Corstens (AUS)
  • Form: 74/112/331221/455411313/3726336463681-06272
  • Notable Career Wins: 2021 Aurie’s Star Handicap, 2022 Gold Rush
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 50/1 (from 40/1)

Another Australian sprinter. Denied just a head in the Al Quoz Sprint on Dubai World Cup night before poor UK debut when seventh in the Duke Of York. Shaped better when runner-up in Group 3 John Of Gaunt at Haydock latest. Consistency an issue with him and plenty of other Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes runners.


Blank silks13. Wellington

  • Age: 7
  • Rating: 118
  • Draw: Stall 15
  • Jockey: Ryan Moore
  • Trainer: Richard Gibson (HK)
  • Form: 11161/2115177/4111161-2323
  • Notable Career Wins: 2021 & 2022 Chairman’s Sprint Prize, 2022 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup, 2022 Hong Kong Sprint
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 11/2 (from 13/2)

Hong Kong sprinter that has raced exclusively at Sha Tin but won many top prizes there. Placed on all four starts this year, but had previously been in much better form in 2022. Respected all the same.


Highfield Princess silks14. Highfield Princess

  • Age: 6
  • Rating: 119
  • Draw: Stall 16
  • Jockey: Jason Hart
  • Trainer: John Quinn
  • Form: 86431121210/3121132436/3521161114-22
  • Notable Career Wins:  2022 Duke Of York Stakes, 2022 Prix Maurice de Gheest, 2022 Nunthorpe Stakes, 2022 Flying Five Stakes
  • Ascot Wins: 2021 Buckingham Palace Stakes
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 5/1 (from 6/1)

Wonder-mare and unlucky second in the King’s Stand on opening day of the Royal meeting. Taken off a true line by Bradsell but not really going the pace to get there. Step back up in trip reads well on Prix Maurice de Gheest victory last summer. One of the most respected Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes runners in the line-up.


Cheveley Park Stud15. Sacred

  • Age: 5
  • Rating: 113
  • Draw: Stall 3
  • Jockey: Tom Marquand
  • Trainer: William Haggas
  • Form: 12228/171/55612-1
  • Notable Career Wins: 2021 Nell Gwyn Stakes, 2021 Hungerford Stakes, 2022 Free Cup, 2023 Chartwell Stakes
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 15/2 (from 10/1)

Running on length fifth in this race 12 months ago, but all four black type wins for this mare over 7f. Should be strong at the finish on that basis and Group 3 victory on the All-Weather at Lingfield on reappearance latest. Best at Newbury on a straight like Ascot.


Kirsten Rausing silks16. Sandrine

  • Age: 4
  • Rating: 107
  • Draw: Stall 9
  • Jockey: David Probert
  • Trainer: Andrew Balding
  • Form: 11123/573139-25
  • Notable Career Wins: 2021 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes, 2022 Lennox Stakes
  • Ascot Wins: 2021 Albany Stakes
  • Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Odds: 28/1 (from 20/1)

Won the Albany over course and distance two years ago. Didn’t get a mile last season and Group 2 Glorious Goodwood winner over 7f.  Second on All-Weather behind Sacred on reappearance, but must improve on Listed fifth at Salisbury latest. Lively outsider from among Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes runners here.
