Day four at Royal Ascot pits two Group One rivals in the Coronation Stakes, where Aidan O’Brien‑trained Precise meets Wayne Lordan’s True Love. They split their head‑to‑head record, with True Love winning the 1,000 Guineas and Precise reversing the form in the Irish equivalent. Jockey Ryan Moore backs Precise, hoping the filly can confirm her mile credentials on the historic straight of Ascot.

Across the card, Venetian Sun headlines the Commonwealth Cup after a dominant Sandy Lane win. The Karl Burke‑trained filly, a former Albany victor at Ascot, struggled in the Guineas but bounced back, making her the red‑hot favourite for the sprint crown this season. Other contenders include Albert Einstein, narrowly beaten at Newbury, and Wise Approach, the Middle Park Stakes winner.

The day also features the Group Three Hampton Court Stakes, where unbeaten two‑year‑old Water To Wine faces O’Brien’s Causeway. Water To Wine, trained by John and Thady Gosden, has won both starts and will be ridden by William Buick. Causeway, with a single defeat in five outings, seeks to stretch out after a Gallinule win, while Ancient Egypt and Golden Story add depth to the field in front of a lively crowd.
