The Prince of Wales’s Stakes on Wednesday promises to be one of the most thrilling races at the 2024 Royal Ascot meeting. 
 
It features a rematch between White Birch and Auguste Rodin, who finished first and second in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at The Curragh last month. 
 
We have studied the recent record books to uncover some key betting trends that we think will help you pick the winner of the 2024 Prince of Wales’s Stakes. 

• 12 of the last 12 winners were aged four or five. 
• 10/12 winners have been in the top three in the betting.

The top horse racing betting sites are unable to split White Birch and Auguste Rodin in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes in Wednesday. 
 
The pair are rated by the bookmakers as 2/1 shots to claim victory and recent trends suggest they may well fight out the finish at the Berkshire track. 
 
White Birch has looked much improved this season after finishing behind Auguste Rodin in the English and Irish Derbies last term. 
   
His three victories at The Curragh include an impressive three-length defeat of Auguste Rodin in the Tattersalls Gold Cup last month. 
 
However, the better ground conditions at Ascot will suit Aidan O’Brien’s charge and he is fancied to turn the tables on this occasion.
