Full result

A copper-bottomed performance for William Buick's 15-2 shot, came on strong in the final furlong.

Cardsharp still leads at the front of a group of four out wide, but Vale of Kent is coming through....

We are off in the Royal Hunt Cup with the field spread across the width of the track. Cardsharp pushing on a group of four on the outside.

Dark Vision won the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood a couple of years back and looked good on his post-suspension comeback at Newcastle. William Buick is on board.

What's The Story - could it be glory for Callum Rodriguez and trainer Keith Dalgleish.

Lord Tennyson is set to go off as the 11-2 favourite, rather fittingly in this mile-long cavalry charge.

It is a big field though and they are still milling about on the outside of the stalls.

Approximate odds

13-2 Dark Vision, 13-2 Lord Tennyson, 7-1 Bell Rock, 7-1 Montatham. 9-1 Bar.

Winning trainer John Gosden: "This horse had to be gelded and he is a great character now, Bangkok set a very strong pace and it was an end-to-end gallop that suited us. We will look at all possibilities for him and we will watch him over the next 10 days becasue two quick races like this one and Haydock can make them lose their zest."

Winning jockey James Doyle: "As the gates opened, the whole complexion of the race changed wtih Japan missing the break and Bangkok hitting the front. It was a truly run race. He travelled into it great. I would like to ride him again put it that way!"

Jockey James Doyle is all grins as he dismounts in the winners' enclosure. The connections of Japan will be decidedly more glum. The favourite had a horror show, missing the start, busy in midfield and then lagging to a fourth-place finish.

1 Lord North (James Doyle) 5-1

2 Addeybb (Tom Marquand) 7-2

3 Barney Roy (W Buick) 8-1

John Gosden has prepped Lord North to perfection there. The 5-1 shot showed remarkable accleration a furlong out and no-one had any response.

Lord North hits the front with a furlong to go...

Still Bangkok at the front with Mehdaayih close on the rails and Japan moving up the field.

Lord North is the last into the stalls and they are off.

Japan is a little sluggish while Bangkok and Addeybb take it on.

The handlers are still herding the field towards the stalls. It is like an equine baggage reclaim as they wait to try and grab their charge and ease them into the starting gate.

Japan is looking toasty warm.

Ryan Moore was the proud recipient of a commemorative saddle cloth after landing his 60th Royal Ascot winner with Hukum in the last race.

But now it is all eyes on the Prince of Wales's Stakes...

The big one. And we'll have commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra.

Addeybb spent the early part of the year in Australia, picking up a couple of Group One sucesses while the UK scene was on lockdown. Does that little sojourn make him the biggest threat to favourite Japan?

Japan finished fourth in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe as a three-year-old and arrives at Royal Ascot having won the King Edward VII Stakes 12 months ago.

Barney Roy has good form at Royal Ascot and might figure in the final equation.

Winning jockey Jim Crowley: "It is going great! I am very lucky to be riding for such a great owner. Hukum has only had two runs and we threw him in at the deep end but he is a nice big scopey horse. We will have to see if he will have the experience to handle the cambers of Epsom."

Trainer Owen Burrows: "We will have a think at the Derby, but he is still very inexperienced."

It looked like Kipps might have got the measure of Hukum as he pulled up to the bumper on the home straight, but Jim Crowley coaxed a little more out of the winner to clinch victory.

It is a first Royal Ascot winner for trainer Owen Burrows.
