The Classic-winning Newmarket trainer has a strong hand at Royal Ascot this year, with Qipco 1000 Guineas heroine Elmalka spearheading a big team.
Before she runs in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes, Roger Varian is hoping to get the week off to a flying start with Lockinge runner-up Charyn in the Queen Anne Stakes.
Roger saddled two winners at last year’s Royal meeting. King Of Steel, who has since left his care after sustaining an injury, won the King Edward VII Stakes while Royal Champion sprung a surprise in the Wolferton.
Here, the Carlburg Stables trainer talks Simon Mapletoft of attheraces.com through his string for Royal Ascot 2024.
