The 2024 edition is around the corner, but who are the key runners and favourites to win this year? Find out what my 2024 Queen Elizabeth Stakes predictions are, odds, and more in this Royal Ascot betting guide.

🏆 Royal Ascot Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Prediction

Any Queen Elizabeth stakes prediction will tell you just how closely contested this race is, with Kinross being the ante-post favourite of top Irish betting sites.

The prolific seven-year-old has finished eighth and seventh in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes previously. His recent win at the group two City of York Stakes is an indication of his form and ability to endure over six furlongs. While Mill Stream and Shartash are expected to compete fiercely, my prediction for the 2024 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes is that Kinross is likely to come out on top.

🏇 Royal Ascot Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Betting Preview

This race attracts a lot of spikes in horse racing betting, so, I will take a closer look at the current Queen Elizabeth stakes odds for the main contenders.

1️⃣ Kinross

Kinross is in good shape to make trainer Ralph Beckett a happy chap in the 2024 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes after finishing eighth and seventh place in previous editions of the race. The seven-year-old has been a star performer recently, having won at least two yearly group events in the last three seasons of the race.

In 2023, he finished outside the top three. Although he suffered narrow reversals in his title defences at the Prix de la Foret, he did manage to win at both Goodwood and York. As a distance and course winner, Kinross is gearing up for his third attempt at the final group one event of Royal Ascot. He is currently one of the favourites for the six-furlong contest, so he’s well-placed to perform in an outright or each-way betting market.

2️⃣ Mill Stream

Mill Stream just got on the line to compete in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at the Royal Ascot, hoping to win his first group one race. He is hotly tipped to perform well in the race after arriving in excellent form. While Stream is only four years old, he’s currently a top contender for the versatile horse Kinross at 6.00 odds.

The Jane Chapple-Hyam-trained four-year-old won the group two Duke of York Stakes by a narrow margin in his last race. He also won the group three Prix de Meautry and went on to finish sixth in the Sprint Cup and eighth in the British Champions Sprint in October.

3️⃣ Shartash

There is no doubt that Shartash is off the favourites list, but Archie Watson is very much hoping to step up to group one level. The four-year-old, formerly trained by Johny Murtagh, had a successful juvenile campaign, finishing top in group two in the Railway Stakes and competing in several prestigious races.

He did have a less successful season in 2023 but made a winning start in a small-field conditions event at Thirsk last month. The Archie Watson-trained runner disappointed in his reappearance at Musselburgh, but I was impressed to see that the horse bounced back under a good ride from Connor Murtagh. I see Shartash as being considered one of the top contenders for a group one race at Royal Ascot.

⭐ Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Betting Tips

I believe Kinross will be the one to take first place at the finishing post, but some of the recent form could seem a little troubling, not living up to what he achieved on Champions Day in the past. It may therefore be worthwhile to stick to an each-way bet rather than going all out on the win.

Meanwhile, Mill Stream will likely be hot on his heels and also offers great value as an each-way bet, having racked up a win in the group two Duke of York Stakes in his last race.
