Sean Levey Royal Ascot Friday blog: 'Any winner at Royal Ascot is a great thing'

Sean Levey has one ride on day four of Royal Ascot on Friday, June 19, 2026. The Ladbrokes ambassador previews his horse, Nightime Dancer in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes, in his latest exclusive blog.

Nightime Dancer – 3.40 Ascot

Nightime Dancer is a nice staying horse who I thought a lot of, and he ran in the Derby last year.

All his work at home has been very good and we would hope he will run a nice race and come on for it. It is a typical competitive Ascot race.

Our lad might do better for stepping up in trip and he is there to run a good race.

Any winner at Royal Ascot is a great thing. I have only had three winners which is hard to mention when you look at the likes of Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore.

Everyone knows how hard it is to find a winner here though, so fingers crossed we can find one.
