2022 Commonwealth Cup Preview

The Commonwealth Cup was added to the Royal Ascot meeting back in 2015 with the Buckingham Palace Stakes being removed from the festival to make room for this race, the Group 1 race is open to three-year-olds only and was the first age-restricted Group 1 race open to geldings in Europe.

The race is run over 6f in which fillies get a 3lb allowance and any Southern Hemisphere runners get a 10lb allowance, the race is run on the fourth day of the festival. When introduced in 2015, the Diamond Jubilee Stakes was changed to a 4yo+ race with this new race being open to the 3yo runners.

When looking over the past 7 renewals, a time of 1:11.88 was set by Advertise in 2019, that is the quickest time over that period, the runner was trained by Martyn Meade and ridden by Frankie Dettori. The slowest winning time was set in 2021 when Campanelle won in a time of 1:16.67, booked to ride was Frankie Dettori on this Wesley A Ward trained runner.

These are the top three quickest run Commonwealth Cup over the last 7 renewals:

2019 - Advertise (1:11.88)
2015 - Muhaarar (1:12.05)
2018 - Eqtidaar (1:12.12)

How competitive is the Commonwealth Cup market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 7 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2020 when the race had an over-round of 120%. The race in 2018 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 132%, whilst on average over the last 7 renewals of the Commonwealth Cup, the over-round has been 124% that means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £124 which is bet.

Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? From the past 7 if you had followed the winner of the Commonwealth Cup next time out then you would have back a total of 1 winner. Backing all 6 runners who have been out since to win at SP next time out, would have returned an LSP of -3.00.
