The Queen Anne Stakes is the very first race of Royal Ascot, and what better way to kickstart the five-day meet for punters than picking the winner.

Last year the Epsom Derby was won by Aidan O’Brien’s Serpentine, the trainer’s eighth victory in the race. The 25/1 shot made all under an aggressive ride from Emmet McNamara, kicking twelve lengths clear on Tattenham Corner and stealing the race from the front. So, will there be a shock result in this year’s renewal of Britain’s richest flat race?

On the 22nd of October 2020, after eight years in the saddle, Conor Shoemark rode in his last ever race, finishing second with Dan Skelton’s Monsieur D’arque.
