The King Edward VII Stakes is the penultimate race on Day Four of the Royal Ascot meeting, with Water To Wine having been installed as the favourite to win. The John & Thady Gosden-trained charge has claimed successive wins coming into this encounter, with Benvenuto Cellini one of the leading contenders for Aidan O'Brien.

However, the Irish trainer might experience success with Causeway considering the horse has bagged three straight victories. The horse also ended the previous campaign with a win, with Ancient Egypt having triumphed on a seasonal debut although he was down the pecking order last time out. Golden Story may also go well at a nice price.

2026 King Edward VII Stakes Betting Tips

Causeway has been a winning machine and perhaps the horse will clock a fifth consecutive victory in the King Edward VII Stakes. Aidan O'Brien's charge started the habit in October when scoring at the Curragh in a maiden race, with the horse then returning for the new season and there was a seven-furlong success at Naas towards the end of March.

Then came a smart effort in the Tetrarch Stakes at the Curragh and this listed race success was achieved by a two-length winning margin. There were no problems over a mile on good ground, with the runner then obliging in Group 3 company. The 5/6 favourite was able to score in the Gallinule Stakes where the horse was able to hold on for the spoils.

Water To Wine will go off as the favourite, with John & Thady Gosden saddling a horse who opened the career with a win at Newbury in April. That was a comprehensive victory by just over four lengths, with that coming before a routine win at Kempton Park. The eleven-length triumph came as no surprise considering that the horse was the heavy favourite.

Benvenuto Cellini had an eventful Epsom Derby experience where the horse's leg got trapped in the stalls. The runner was one of the favourites for this classic after the charge had previously landed the spoils in the Chester Vase Stakes. That was over one mile, four and a half furlongs, with the horse also winning twice in Ireland last year.
