King Charles III Stakes Betting Odds

The King Charles III Stakes is the third race on Day One of the 2025 Royal Ascot meeting. It’s a five-furlong dash down the straight, with Believing heading the betting market after a win on his seasonal debut. He’s marginally shorter than Asfoora and the six-year-old opened the campaign with a victory of his own.

Regional is an older adversary who runs for Edward Bethell, with the seven-year-old having finished third last time out. Mgheera certainly catches the eye on the form guide, with the horse able to secure consecutive successes this term. Night Raider, Kind Of Blue and Starlust are other contenders who are potential each-way shouts.

2025 King Charles III Stakes Betting Tips

The King Charles III Stakes is the third race of the 2025 Royal Ascot meeting. Believing was a winner last time out, with the horse scoring at Meydan in a high-profile encounter. That was in the Group One Al Quoz Sprint, with the horse performing well over six furlongs. That came after a solid effort at Longchamp back in the autumn in the Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp Longines.

Asfoora runs for Henry Dwyer and begun the season with a victory at Morphettville. The horse is an Australian raider, with this success coming over five and a half furlongs. However, the runner could only finish seventh when returning to the same track in the Robert Sangster Stakes over six furlongs.

Regional was third this season in a field of eleven runners at Meydan. That was also in the Al Quoz Sprint, with less than a length separating the horse from Believing. Previously to this, there was a fourth-placed finish in the Hackwood Stakes when the Edward Bethell-trained charge performed well at Newbury.

Mgheera has landed consecutive successes this season. Ed Walker trains a five-year-old who was last seen winning at Haydock last time out. Sent off at odds of 10/1, the runner was able to oblige over five furlongs. This came after a May success at Longchamp, with this coming in the Prix de Saint-Georges when obliging at odds of 49/10.

2024 King Charles III Stakes Tips

The King Charles III Stakes is always a highlight when it comes to the Royal Ascot meeting, with Big Evs having clocked up three wins ahead of this five furlong encounter. The latest success came at York in May when the three-year-old was able to oblige as the 4/7 favourite in a listed race, with previous wins coming at Santa Anita and Doncaster.

There was plenty to like about his success in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint where the 16/5 chance was able to fend off a competitive field, while that came after a Doncaster success where the runner obliged over five furlongs in the Flying Childers Stakes. The only blot on the copybook was a previous run at York where the horse finished near the back.

Asfoora has solid claims and the Henry Dwyer-trained horse was last seen finishing fourth in the Kia Ora Galaxy at Rosehill. It was a solid showing in Australia, with the overseas raider having also run well at Caulfield when finishing just a length off the pace. The five-year-old could well make an impact in this race.

Bucanero Fuerte is a three-year-old with plenty of ability, with Adrian Murray training a charge who was able to claim a success last time out. The horse claimed a victory against five other runners at Naas over six furlongs, with Chain Of Lightning another Australian contender who has won at Rosehill and Randwick recently.
