A warm and pleasant day at Royal Ascot, following another dry night, resulted in a slight going change after the third race, the Commonwealth Cup.

Clerk of the Course Chris Stickels said: "The ground was changed to 'Good' on the straight course, and 'Good, good to soft in places' on the round course.

"There has been no rain since Wednesday and we are expecting a dry night and more dry weather tomorrow for the final day of this year's Royal Meeting.

"Temperatures could rise slightly tomorrow, the track is riding really well and the Clerk of the Course is very happy." 

Today's attendance came to 66,507, as against 69,087 for the fourth day last year.
