Good luck if you're having a wager in the last at Ascot - the Windsor Castle Stakes looks a very competitive affair.
Be careful with the names too - the runners include Declarationofpeace and Declarationoflove. The former is the favourite, while the latter is more of an 80-1 chance.

Raymond Blanc will be serving up food for the Ascot faithful across the week, I'm sure it's pretty respectable.
Just hearing him talk about his menu in his silky, smooth French voice to BBC Radio Berkshire is a big enough treat for the senses though....
