Coral Racing Ambassador, Hugo Palmer, provides an exclusive preview on his only runner on the final day of the Royal Ascot 2023 meeting in the Wokingham Stakes. 

17:00 Royal Ascot – Flaming Rib 

Flaming Rib is a Group 1 horse in a handicap here, so he does have to carry top-weight, but that’s because he’s the best horse in the race.

One of his best career runs was when he was second over this C&D in the Commonwealth Cup last year, so we know he likes it at Ascot. He ran to a mark of about 114 that day and he runs off 110 here, so with Pierre-Louis Jamin claiming a valuable 3lb, you could argue mathematically he has a good few pounds in hand.

 I certainly think we go there with a lively chance, but as I said yesterday about the Sandringham, these races are the hardest on the planet to win.
