2025 Norfolk Stakes Betting Odds at Ascot racecourse

2024 Norfolk Stakes Tips

Whistlejacket looks like the horse to beat in the Norfolk Stakes and the two-year-old will go off as favourite to land a victory in this five furlong encounter at Royal Ascot. Aidan O’Brien will have plenty of confidence that his charge can run a strong race, with a victory coming at the Curragh when winning the First Flier Stakes as the odds-on favourite.

Previously to this, there was a second-placed finish in a maiden race over six furlongs, although there will be plenty of rivals looking to lower his colours. O’Brien also has Camille Pissarro potentially lining up, with the horse having finished second out of seven runners at the Curragh in the Group 3 Marble Hill Stakes over six furlongs.

In his previous encounter, the horse obliged as the 10/11 favourite in a maiden race although Raise The Bar could be a market mover and the American raider was a smart winner at Keeneland when being sent off as the favourite in a Maiden Special Weight encounter although that’s his only run to date.

Joseph O’Brien could have a lively competitor in the form of Midnight Strike, with the horse having finished narrowly behind Camille Pissarro in the Marble Hill Stakes and that came after winning at the Curragh. Aidan O’Brien has a smart second string operator in the form of Treasure Isle and the horse triumphed at Naas last time out.

2023 Norfolk Stakes Tips

Elite Status warmed up for the 2023 Royal Hunt Cup by securing a highly impressive win at Sandown Park on his previous outing. Sent off as the 5/2 favourite for this encounter on 25 May, the horse claimed a five-length victory under the ride of Clifford Lee, with trainer Karl Burke seeing his horse shorten dramatically for this encounter at the Royal Ascot meeting.

Burke now expects a bold run at Ascot and actually talked up the horse’s chances more favourably than Dramatised which won last year’s Queen Mary at the same meeting. In his first outing, there was a victory against Battaah over five furlongs at Doncaster Racecourse, with the runner obliging by five lengths and it certainly looks like the one to beat.

American Rascal could be a worthy opponent, with Wesley Ward bringing over a clutch of potential superstars for the 2023 meeting and this two-year-old has been respected by the bookmakers. Little can be gleaned from the horse’s performance in the Maiden Special Weight at Keeneland although it sets the runner up for a big run here.

River Tiber and The Liffey have multiple entries although Aidan O’Brien may decide to send one of these horses down the Royal Hunt Cup route, with Fandom and No Nay Mets also among the potential contenders for a race where we could expect a reasonably sized field over five furlongs.
