The Commonwealth Cup

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.

2024 Commonwealth Cup Preview & Tips

Sandy Lane Stakes winner Inisherin heads into the Commonwealth Cup as the favourite thanks to a strong showing in his first run over 6 furlongs. At close to 2/1 he provides little value.

According to the betting markets his main rival will be Elite Status, who won the Listed Carnarvon Stakes at Newbury in May and is priced at a more generous 5/1.

Lake Forest has the highest speed rating in the field and was a winner in the Gtroup 2 Gimcrack Stakes at York in August. He’s yet to run this season, but at 25/1 offers great each-way value.

Based on results so far, you’ll be best served putting your money behind the horse with the highest rating in the field.
