5.00 Royal Ascot runners and prices: Your full racecard and results for the Britannia Stakes

THE Britannia Stakes is one of the biggest betting heats of the week and was last year won by 25-1 shot Bless Him.

It's a valuable handicap over a straight mile for three-year-olds and can throw up a surprise winner with Jamie Spencer going for the hat-trick this year.

Spencer has been booked to ride George Of Hearts for trainer Richard Hughes this year.

It is Crack On Crack On who just heads the betting at 8-1.

Corrosive is a progressive type and has to be feared in this field.

Il Primo Sole had a lofty reputation and is another to be wary of if bouncing back.
