Queen's Vase (Group 2)
With four of the last nine winners trained by Aidan O'Brien and winning favourites in both 2022 and 2023, there is a lot to like about the chances of HIGHBURY, who heads the early markets. Third on his debut, he showed the benefit of that experience when running away with a Leopardstown maiden by over seven lengths after showing a decent turn of foot when asked. The son of Galileo may reverse debut form with the unbeaten Birdman here, though that cannot be guaranteed and Jessica Harrington's Free Eagle gelding looks a worthy adversary who cannot be ignored. Mina Rashid is an outsider to consider after he stayed on strongly to win his maiden at Chester and appeals as having further improvement to come as a stayer.

Queen’s Vase Overview
The Queen’s Vase is a Group 2 flat race that is run across a distance of 1 mile, 6 furlongs, and 34 yards at Ascot Racecourse. Horses aged three years old are eligible to compete in this race. The race is scheduled as the second race on day two at Royal Ascot.
The race was initially established as a 2-mile race back in 1838. The original trophy was a gold vase that had been donated by Queen Victoria. It has held Group 2 status since 2017. The Queen’s Vase is one of three races at Royal Ascot, along with the Royal Hunt Cup and Gold Cup, where the winning owners can keep the trophy.
Back in 2013, the race was re-named ‘The Queen’s Vase in Memory of Sir Henry Cecil’ after the sad passing of legendary Sir Henry Cecil, who had trained a record-breaking 8 winners in this race including Falkland in 1972 and Endorsement in 1999. The most successful jockey in this race is George Fordham who has ridden winners including Arsenal in 1857 and Tristan in 1882.
