Daryz boasts similar form. The F-H Graffard-trained charge finished off the previous season with a win before two victories have come this term. There's also Almaqam who returned for the season with a victory and there's the possibility of Calandagan and Minnie Hauk also making this a spectacular renewal in one of the highlight races of the meeting.

2026 Prince of Wales's Stakes Betting Tips

The Prince of Wales's Stakes is one of the biggest races at the Royal Ascot meeting, with Ombudsman having already clocked up two victories this term. At Meydan, William Buick rode the charge to victory in the Dubai Turf when winning by two lengths. This came before a Group 3 success in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes when obliging by the distance of a neck.

Back in October, the five-year-old was beaten by Calandagan in the Qipco Champion Stakes over one mile and two furlongs, with the horse having too much work to get up in the end. Back in August, there was a success in the Juddmonte International Stakes over one mile, two and a half furlongs when beating Delacroix by over three lengths.

Daryz is trained by Francis-Henri Graffard, with the four-year-old having earned three successive victories. The runner took really well to the soft ground when scoring in the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, with the horses performing well over one mile and four furlongs. The charge has since scored twice at the same track and should go well.

Almaqam is trained by Ed Walker and was able to enjoy the winning feeling at the Curragh towards the end of May. That came in the Group One Tattersalls Gold Cup, with a two-length success coming over one mile, two and a half furlongs. The horse had previously run well at odds of 28/1 when only finishing four lengths behind Calandagan.
