The Commonwealth Cup is Royal Ascot’s premier sprint event for 3-year-old colts and fillies. This Group 1 race is run over a distance of 6 furlongs.
2025 Commonwealth Cup Preview
The top sprinters in the UK and Europe will line up for the Commonwealth Cup on Friday, with 2,000 Guineas winner, Shadow of Light taking favourite billing at 13/8. Given the step down in distance from his Newmarket win he’s a touch underpriced but nevertheless a solid win bet.
Jonquil likewise takes a step down in distance following his second place finish in the French version of the 2,000 Guineas. A winner over 7 furlongs in his previous race he looks good value at 5/1.
Rounding up the favourites is Babouche, winner of the Group 3 Lacken Stakes at Naas in his last race. The only one of the favourites to have won over 6 furlongs recently, he’s also a good each-way option at 11/2.
US entry Shisospicy has the most consistent form in the field, with three wins from his last three races, including a Grade 3 and Listed victory. At 11/1 he’s an tempting option for an each-way punt.
