A Case Of You flies the flag for Ireland in the feature event on the last day of Royal Ascot as he lines up in a massive field for the Platinum Jubilee Stakes.

Ado McGuinness' charge bids to add a third top level success in the final Group 1 event of the week.

The son of Hot Streak landed connections a big pot when claiming the Al Quoz Sprint in Dubai back in March and was third on his comeback run at the Curragh last month.

He will be joined in the field for the six-furlong contest by the Joe Murphy-trained Gustavus Weston, who is set to go off a big price.

Aidan O'Brien saddles four runners on the card and all eyes will be on the well-touted Alfred Munnings in the opening Chesham Stakes.

The beautifully bred son of Dubawi made a big impression when landing a Leopardstown maiden on his debut last month and could be a warm order in the Listed contest.

Michael O'Callaghan's Crypto Force also won his sole start, at the Curragh, and now runs in the colours of Amo Racing and Ominhorse Racing.

Rookie trainer John O'Donogue is also represented in the seven-furlong event with Pearling Path.

O'Brien relies on the globe-trotting Broome in the Hardwicke Stakes while Noel Meade's Layfayette, who has already bagged a hat-trick this season, also lines up in the Group 2.

The pair take on Hurricane Lane, last year's Irish Derby and St Leger winner, who looks set to be a short price on his return in the mile-and-a-half contest.

There are two Irish representatives in the Group 3 Jersey Stakes, the two fillies in the line up.

Star Girls Aalmal, fourth in the Irish 1,000 Guineas last time, runs for Henry de Bromhead while Johnny Murtagh saddles likely outsider Mise Le Meas.

Murtagh also saddles consistent sprinter Urban Beat in the Wokingham Stakes where he will be joined by the Ross O'Sullivan-trained Warrior Brave and Ken Condon's Quarantine Dreams.

Ballydoyle colt Sun King is the sole Irish raider in the Golden Gate Stakes with Ryan Moore on board.

There are four Irish in the meeting's finale, the Queen Alexandra Stakes.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained Wordsworth looks a leading contender back up in trip in the conditions race over an extended two-miles-five.

Willie Mullins saddles last year's winner Stratum while Falcon Eight is another with a live chance for Dermot Weld.

Nina Walsh gets her name on the racecard at Royal Ascot as a trainer but big outsider Dinard Rose looks to have a tough task.
