Last year's winner has to be respected and Trawlerman comes into the meeting off the back of earning four straight wins towards the end of the previous campaign. There's been money for the John & Thady Gosden-trained runner, although there's also Rahiebb trading at a single figure price. Roger Varian saddles a horse who has bags of potential.

2026 Ascot Gold Cup Betting Tips

Scandinavia raced at Newmarket back in July 2025 and that was the first of five consecutive victories. The 11/8 favourite was able to score in the Bahrain Trophy Stakes and that Group 3 success was followed by a triumph in the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup Stakes. Sent off at 4/1, the horse was able to score over two miles to fend off favourite Illinois.

More recently, there have been two further successes. There was a win at Navan in the BAR 1 Betting Vintage Crop Stakes, with the 11/10 favourite getting up over one mile and six furlongs. A warm-up race at Leopardstown saw Scandinavia win at odds of 2/9 and it's all set up for the Royal Ascot showdown, with Rahiebb another young pretender.

Roger Varian saddles a horse who won on a seasonal debut at York in the middle of May. In the Boodles Yorkshire Cup Stakes, the horse scored over a mile and six furlongs when obliging by just over two lengths. There was previously a strong effort back in September when the runner pushed Scandinavia close on soft ground in Doncaster.

Trawlerman was a winner of this race a year ago, with John & Thady Gosden saddling a horse who posted four straight wins last term. There was a late May win at Sandown Park before winning the 2025 Gold Cup by a full seven lengths. Then there was an odds-on success in the Lonsdale Cup Stakes before winning the British Champions Long Distance Cup.
