See The Fire Supplemented for Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot
Craig Jones 
Big news for Royal Ascot next week, See The Fire is confirmed to be Ascot bound!
Connections have stumped up a hefty £70,000 to supplement the exciting filly into the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at this year’s Royal Ascot, and it’s got plenty of people talking.
We've got all the latest news ahead of the meeting, and of course some fantastic Ascot betting offers, available to claim now if you want to get ahead of the game.
This move didn’t come out of nowhere. The Andrew Balding trained four-year-old absolutely blew away the field in last month’s Group 2 Middleton Stakes at York, and her owners clearly think she’s ready to mix it with the big guns on the biggest stage.
Bookmakers don't quite agree as much though, they give her a chance but with many horse racing betting sites, she's fifth or sixth in the market.
Supplemented for Prince Of Wales Stakes
Dropping £70,000 to get into a race might sound wild, but when you’ve got a filly in the kind of form See The Fire showed at York, and you've got the money to do it, I don't blame them for rolling the dice here.
Here at Free Bets we love to see people going for it in sport, it's what gets us excited, so we are all on board for this move.
That day, she didn’t just win, she destroyed the field. Under a confident ride from Oisin Murphy, she swept through the others and put 12 lengths between herself and the runner up in a matter of strides.
It was the kind of win that screams “Group 1 next”, and Royal Ascot is where dreams like that are made.
Trainer Andrew Balding said afterwards that she’s “very exciting” and “loves the trip”, and her team has clearly seen enough to aim high.
This isn’t just a hopeful punt, she’s now one of the most talked about runners in the field.
Who’s She Up Against?
The Prince of Wales’s Stakes is a high quality Group One contest, and See The Fire will be tested.
Likely opponents include some serious performers:
- Los Angeles – Aidan O’Brien’s colt just landed the Tattersalls Gold Cup at Group One level.
- Anmaat – Talented and consistent, ran a cracking race behind Los Angeles last time out.
- Map Of Stars – French raider who brings solid Group form from across the Channel.
- Ombudsman – Second in the Brigadier Gerard, first defeat of career, should come on for that.
