IT only takes a quick glance at the 2025 Royal Ascot results to judge that this year’s Irish-trained two-year-olds look a useful bunch.

This side of the Irish Sea supplied the first, fourth and fifth in the Coventry Stakes, the first and fourth in the Queen Mary and the sole Irish runner in the Norfolk Stakes won. The visitors’ only two representatives in the Chesham Stakes finished second and third, while the other juvenile race results saw an Irish third and fifth in the Queen Mary, and a fourth and sixth in the Windsor Castle.
