Royal Ascot Racecard: Your ultimate guide to day 3 on Thursday

Three is the magic number!

Desert Hero wins at Royal Ascot

It is Gold Cup day as Royal Ascot 2024 continues with seven smashing races on Thursday.

The titular contest is one of the most prestigious of the whole season in Britain and a stack of strong stayers are set to take their chance including 2022 winner Kyprios, who is back and bidding to regain the crown after missing last year’s edition through injury.

There is also Group 2 action on the card courtesy of the Norfolk Stakes and Ribblesdale Stakes, while the Britannia Stakes and Buckingham Palace Stakes provide each-way angles for punters as bumper fields have been declared for both.

Royal Ascot odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise, everything you need to know about day three of the mega meeting is below.
