Royal Ascot 2017 Day 5 runners and riders: Saturday racecards on the festival's final day

Limato is favourite in the Diamond Jubilee. The five-year-old won the Darley July Cup and Prix de la Foret. Learn By Heart goes in 2.30pm and Ryan Moore rides Dartmouth in 3.40pm.

The clerk of the course Chris Stickels didn't water the track overnight. The ground will be quicker today. If it stays dry and breezy, the ground may go good to firm in places before racing. The GoingStick readings are 9.8 on the stands' side, 9 in the centre and 9 on far side.
