With five days of top-class horse racing and 35 races, there is a lot to take in for punters – so we thought we’d help by looking at the most likely Royal Ascot bankers 2025, based on the betting markets.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Royal Ascot Bankers 2025 Headed By Irish Guineas Winner Field Of Gold<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When looking at the ante-post markets, the Royal Ascot bankers tell us there are around six horses priced 2\/1 or less.<\/p>\n

Meaning these runners are going to be a lot of punter’s short-lists over the week.<\/p>\n

It’s also no shock that three of these so-called bankers are Aidan O’Brien Royal Ascot runners<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We take a look at these bigger fancies in more detail below – plus what many are calling the ‘super Royal Ascot banker for 2025’<\/em> – the John and Thady Gosden-trained Field Of Gold.<\/p>\n

Field Of Gold (St James’s Palace Stakes, Tues 17th June)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This John Gosden-trained horse has had a lot written about him his season – mainly due to the ride he got by Kieran Shoemark in the English 2000 Guineas.<\/p>\n

That ride ultimately cost Shoemark his job, with many suggesting a better steering job that day would have seen him win.<\/p>\n

These people were proved right in Field Of Gold’s next race when bolting up in the Irish 2000 Guineas under new rider Colin Keane.<\/p>\n

As a result, he’s expected to be one of the shortest-priced runners at the meeting and is many people’s idea of the best Royal Ascot banker 2025.<\/p>\n

He runs in the St James’s Palace Stakes on day one (Tuesday), which is a race the Gosden team have won three times.<\/p>\n

While one of these wins for Gosden was with Field Of Gold’s sire Kingman in 2015. Can he follow in his father’s footsteps?<\/p>\n
