What the trainers say...
 
O’Brien on Cape Of Good Hope and Old Glory: “We were very happy with how Cape Of Good Hope ran in the French Derby and he wasn't beaten all that far into fourth. He hasn't done a lot since going to France but seems in good form.

“Old Glory only ran the other day at the Curragh when just beaten in a tight finish. Like Cape Of Good Hope he hasn't done a lot since but we think this sort of race should suit him.”

Roger Varian on Roseman: “He’s in good form and the form of his last race took a big boost on the opening day at Ascot. We don’t have the best of draws but I’m really pleased with how the horse is.”

3:05 Hampton Court Stakes

We go again!

O’Brien has had three consecutive beaten favourites in this race but his leading contender, Cape Of Good Hope, is priced behind favourite Fox ChairmanThe Andrew Balding-trained three-year-old is untested at the top level and is not the best value in a crowded field.

That time confirmed that the ground is good to soft.
Simon Crisford reaction
 
A'Ali is the first maiden to win this race in 30 years.
 
"I can't put it into words," said trainer Simon Crisford. "He looked fresh and keen throughout the race. Even going to post I thought he was slightly cooked but he finished so well. We always knew he had special talent."
Frankie Dettroi reaction
 
"He was travelling so goo. He did everything like a professional. What a good way to start. He's a good sprinter. I suspect he'll back him up in a race at Goodwood, five furlongs."
 
Frankie Dettori went early and A'Ali kicked clear along with Ventura Rebel and managed to hold him off.
A'Ali wins!
 
 
1. A'ali 5/1
2. Ventura Rebel 16/1
3. Dubai Station 14/1
 
Expressionist has recovered some of the ground. Sunday Sovereign is poised well.
They're off!
 
We're away in the Norfolk Stakes
 
Expressionist is slow out.
What the trainers say ahead of the Norfolk Stakes
 

Paddy Twomey, trainer of Sunday Sovereign

He's been in great form since Tipperary and I'm looking forward to the race. The ground doesn't actually matter to him, but the fact that he has won on soft ground at Tipperary is a help.

Joseph O'Brien, trainer of Air Force Jet
He did well to get back up to win at Navan. I'm hoping the ground will dry out for him as the better the ground, the better chance he has.

Charlie Appleby, trainer of Expressionist
He was impressive on his first start and boasts important course-and-distance form. He's strengthened since then and I'm looking forward to seeing him step up in class. 

Clive Cox, trainer of Firepower
He won very pleasingly over five furlongs on his debut at Salisbury before we stepped him up to six furlongs for a conditions race at Newbury. He travelled really well through that race, so I’m pleased we’ve opted to come back in trip with him. He’s a very nice horse.

Aidan O'Brien, trainer of King Neptune and Mount Fuji 
King Neptune was beaten at the Curragh but ran well and we've been very happy with him since. Mount Fuji won his maiden at Cork and did so despite being very green so we think he'll come forward from that. He's a nice colt.

Charlie Johnston, assistant to Mark Johnston, trainer of Misty Grey
He took off down the hill at Epsom under Franny [Norton] and it's obvious he went too hard too soon. I'm not convinced about dropping him back to five furlongs as he stayed well at Ripon, but it's more his running style that is forcing us to do that. Hopefully he uses his energy more efficiently.

Matthieu Palussiere, trainer of Real Appeal
He was a little bit green in both his first two starts although essentially it all went well. At Angers I think he was beaten by the way the race unfolded but he made no mistake in his Listed race. I think the stiff track will suit him. He's very straightforward, very serious and professional. 

Richard Fahey, trainer of Ventura Rebel
It's Royal Ascot but we're very happy with the horse. This has always been the plan since he won here last time and he has course form.

On with the racing!
 
Right, enough of the Royals...time for the racing to take centre stage.

2:30 Norfolk Stakes

The market suggests there is little that will be able to stop Sunday Sovereign, who has twice won well in Ireland before making his British debut at Royal Ascot.

Wesley Ward and Aidan O’Brein have dominated this race in recent years, but neither trainer have a massive hopeful in this.

O’Brien enters Mount Fuji and King Neptune, while Ward's good chance Maven is withdrawn as a non-runner due to the going.
