Royal Ascot international challengers including Spendarella, Pizza Bianca and Shahryar

Shahryar, a Japanese raider, is preparing for Royal Ascot. He won the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic in March. His owners Sunday Racing Co Ltd will also have a horse at Royal Atcot, Grenadier Guards, in the Platinum Jubilee Stakes. It was Grenier Guards' first flight and connections were concerned about his mental state. Yasuhiro Matsumoto, manager of Northern Farm, wants to win races in UK with Japanese horses. He thinks the best sire-making races are in Britain. The horse is suitable for 2000m to 2400m distance.

Artorius is one of three Australian sprinters on course for the Royal Meeting. He will race against Nature Strip and Home Affairs in the G1 Platinum Jubilee Stakes. Artorius won the Blue Diamond Stake as a juvenile and was twice placed at G2 level in October. Sam Freedman's horse is a drop-out horse and needs to be in touch more than he has been in his last few races. Jamie Spencer will have a sit on Artorious tomorrow at Ascot. He worked with Roger Varian for a couple of seasons. It is difficult to win a race at Royal Asotical.

Spendarella, Pizza Bianca and Slipstream are international challengers at Royal Ascot. Christophe Clement-trained duo of Pizzabianca in the G1 Coronation Stakes and progressive sprinter Slipstart in G2 Commonwealth Cup are also in action. Graham Motion and Gainesway Farm's share their third-year-old filly Sharing in 2020's G3 Cor onation. The trainer/owner combination saddled Sharing to finish second in 2020 running of the mile highlight for three-years-olds.
