This is how my going allowances relate to reported going. (e.g. 80% of going described as 'Good to Soft' over jumps is between aout 5 and 40. Average allowance for G/S is 22.6)

Conversely at Newcastle and Ascot it was a headwind and horses would have expended at least 20% more energy over the race.

Massive wind effect on Saturday across all courses really. Tailwind at about the same speed as the horses were running at the start of Newmarket. That means there was no air resistance to overcome and horses saved about 20% of their expended energy over the race.

The correct answers were: Queen Elizabeth II, workers, Honey, a drone and Bumble. The theme is bees: queen, workers and drones are all categories of bees, some bees produce honey and a bumblebee is a specific species.
