RHYTHM N HOOVES WINS THE PALACE OF HOLYROODHOUSE STAKES

A tight finish for an exciting quick race.

And they're off!

The final race of the day, the Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes, is underway.

Jer Batt the favourite

There are 27 runners in the final race of the day - the Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes (18:10).

Jer Batt is now the favourite with the bookies, but it looks pretty wide open. Could we get a longshot winner to close the day out?

Dave Yates' tips for Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes (18:10)

TATTERSTALL is the selection for a race of myriad possible outcomes.

The son of Bungle Inthejungle drew a blank from five attempts as a juvenile but has shown the benefit of a gelding operation in his three-year-old season.

Making his comeback in a five-furlong maiden at Wolverhampton in the middle of last month, the Michael Dods-trained sprinter put up a personal best with a two-length win.

A seventh to Kuwait City at York’s Dante meeting a week later is better than it looks, and Tatterstall was back to winning form for the inaugural running of the 3YO “Dash” Handicap at Epsom on Derby day, accounting for Miss Brazen by a length and a quarter.

A 7lb rise in the weights was to be expected, but that success proved Connor Beasley’s mount can operate in a big-field handicap - and he hasn’t finished yet.

Jer Batt , Harry Brown , Radio Goo Goo and The Big Board are just four names worth throwing into the melting pot in a wide-open contest.

King Edward VII Stakes results

King Edward VII Stakes (17:35)

1. King of Steel 11-10

KING OF STEEL WINS KING EDWARD VII STAKES

The favourite rides from the back of the pack and then times his push perfectly to blow the rest of the field out of the water.

Not another win for Frankie Dettori on Arrest.

And they're off!

The King Edward VII Stakes is underway. Can Frankie Dettori make it a hat-trick of wins for Friday?

Arrest is up against favourite King of Steel, who is owned by football agent Kia Joorabchian.

The runners and riders in King Edward VII Stakes (17:35)

We have just six horses in the King Edward VII Stakes.

Frankie Dettori is back in action on Arrest, but King of Steel is the clear favourite at 6-5.

Dave Yates' tips for King Edward VII Stakes (17:35)

KING OF STEEL outran his 66-1 odds with a heroic second in the Derby - and compensation awaits.

The towering son of Wootton Bassett, the easy winner of a Nottingham maiden in October before a seventh of eight to Auguste Rodin in the Group 1 Vertem Futurity at Doncaster 10 days later, moved from David Loughnane to Roger Varian during the winter.

A planned return in the Dante Stakes at York went awry when King Of Steel became unruly in the stalls and was withdrawn, so he made his seasonal - and stable - debut at Epsom.

In the circumstances, Kevin Stott’s mount ran a blinder, kicking to the front over two out before giving best to half-length victor Auguste Rodin in the dying strides, with Artistic Star back in seventh, Dubai Mile ninth and Arrest 10th.

Cue long faces if he doesn’t go one better, with Artistic Star and Continuous the podium picks.

Dave Yates' tips for Sandringham Stakes (17:00)

CHELSEA GREEN ran out a snug winner on her handicap debut and has plenty more to offer in the sphere.

After a debut sixth over seven furlongs at Glorious Goodwood last July, the Hugo Palmer-trained daughter of U S Navy Flag took a step forward for a share of first place in a one-mile mile maiden at Sandown Park the following month.

Chelsea Green emerged with plenty of credit with a half-length second under a penalty in a novice stakes at Newmarket in mid-September but had her sights lowered after a seventh of 10 in the Listed Montrose Stakes back over the Rowley Mile six weeks later.

Coronation Stakes - provisional results

1. Tahiyra 8-13

2. Remarquee 25-1

3. Sounds of Heaven 16-1

Winning jockey: Chris Hayes

Winning trainer: Dermot Weld

We're still waiting for the official confirmation of the winner. The pundits on ITV's coverage don't think the result will be changed.

Hayes hits back at critics

"A lot of people were saying that I was the only chink in her armour. Well, they're not saying that anymore."

Fighting words from Tahiyra jockey Chris Hayes after he rides the favourite to a win in the Coronation Stakes.

Stewards enquiry incoming?

Tahiyra may have to wait for this win to be confirmed, with a question mark over some interference in the home straight.

TAHIYRA WINS THE CORONATION STAKES!

The favourite Tahiyra who wins, showing the pace to beat out the rivals fairly comfortably.

And they're off!

The Coronation Stakes is underway, with Tahiyra, Meditate, Queen For You, Mammas Girl, Sounds of Heaven and Remarquee the fillies in the race. £600,000 on offer...

Full list of today's winners

Just tuning in to today's racing?

Here are the winners from the earlier races.

David Yates' tips for Coronation Stakes

TAHIYRA boasts a CV containing two Group 1 wins and a half-length defeat in a Classic, so has Friday’s feature race at her mercy.

Dermot Weld has for decades been the trainer to follow at the Galway Festival, and he sent the Aga Khan-owned daughter of Siyouni to the meeting for her debut last July.

Chris Hayes’ partner went off the 7-2 second choice for a seven-furlong maiden and showed abundant promise for the future with a five-and-a-half-length dismissal of 5-6 favourite Dower House.

Weld then sent Tahiyra straight to the top level for the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh on Irish Champions Weekend in September and my selection justified the move to beat another Aidan O’Brien-saddled filly, Meditate , by two and a quarter lengths.

Next up: Cononation Stakes (16:20)

Just six horses competing in the fourth race of the day in 25 minutes.

They're led by favourite Tahiyra (8/11) and Meditate (9/2), with jockey Ryan Moore, who has a quick turnaround after winning on Okita Soushi.
