Hasn't been seen to best effect in two starts this season, but two placed efforts in Group 3 contests towards the end of his 3-year-old campaign suggest the ability is there. It's possible he's needed the efforts off a big break. The yard has won this three times in the last 7 years, and if appreciating the better ground and stripping fitter for two efforts this season, I think Bluedrum is hugely overpriced.

Kalpana has to give 12lbs to her market rival but I fancy her class will see her claim this fillies Group 1. Ran really well over C&D on reappearance when 3rd in the Group 1 Tatts Gold Cup, with the form being advertised at Royal Ascot. She's a live one for the Arc in October and although 12f may be ideal, she's shown plenty of pace and this 10f shouldn't inconvenience her any more than her rivals.

Spirit Mixer finished 2nd to Trueshan in 2022 from a mark of 97 under a 5lbs claimer. Having missed most of 2023, he finished down the field in 9th last year from a mark 6lbs lower. That was in cheekpieces which were fitted for a few runs in the build-up, suggesting that was the plan. But with cheekpieces back off, he's shown good form when winning twice at Chester from marks of 84 and 88. A closing 2nd on soft ground last time suggests he's coming back to form and could be well-weighted from a mark of 89 under regular rider Rob Hornby, with the yard in good form. A wide draw has been a plus recently, but stall 9 should give him plenty of options.

Has gone well in both starts at York. First, missing the start when the hood was removed late but running really well to finish 3rd in the Listed City Walls Stakes, and then finishing 4th in a quick ground C&D handicap last August. Was 1L behind JM Jungle that day but 15lbs better off with that rival here, and in a smallish field, he might be able to dominate from his high draw. His three runs this year have been middling but have seen him drop to a mark of 102, and I fancy he can bounce back at this track and with conditions to suit.

Lake Forest ran well to finish 5th in the Group 1 Queen Anne less than two weeks ago and is turned out again quickly given the fast ground on offer. That form looks enough to win this Group 3, whilst the 7f trip is also more suitable than 8f LTO. His form in the Everest in Australia behind Lazzat also looks strong, as do his two runs in the UK as a 3yo. With a clear class edge and good pace on offer (Lethal Levi / Quinault), race conditions should also suit.

Undoubtedly a class act. He has seemed tripless so far in his career, having run well over 7f as a juvenile before being stepped up to 10f last season after a promising effort in the 2000 Guineas. He showed his ability when winning over 7f on reappearance and tries sprinting trips for the first time since debut. With some doubts over the favourite having bombed out on reappearance, I think he could prove to be a bit of a springer in the 6f division.

Archivist makes his handicap debut from a mark of 90 for William Haggas, having run well in a pair of novice/maiden races since joining him from Michael Stoute. Excuses on his reappearance when denied a clear run, but won cosily last time out on quick ground over 8f. That bare form isn't significant, but he's well-bred and unexposed, and should be capable of winning from this opening mark in favorable conditions.

The Kings Falcon might deliver the royal winner at the Royal meeting, with a mark of 90 surely underestimating his ability. Two starts back he finished a close 2nd to Jackknife on good ground at Epsom, despite not handling the track at all, and that rival was very short in the market for the Group 3 Hampton Court today before being withdrawn at the start. Won cosily in a novice race last time and if handling the quick ground could have as much as 10lbs in hand on a line through Jackknife.

Holkham Bay's Ascot record reads 2-1-1, with the most recent win coming from a mark of 95 - just 2lbs lower than today. We saw on Friday that the pace bias flipped and he is drawn on the high side but with Valiant Force in the stall next door he should get a good pace to aim at, and showed LTO that he's running back into form after his winter break.

Taking one on both sides of the draw, and Jumby looks undoubtedly well handicapped on the pick of his form. Ran well in the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes last year, finishing a head 3rd on quick ground over 7f. Hasn't raced over 6f since June last year but this stiff finish will help and he was 3rd in this race in 2022 from a mark 8lbs higher. Now a 7yo but recent form is still pretty good considering he always takes a couple of runs to warm up each season.

I like Apollo One but I can't see how he can give Symbol Of Honour 6lbs. The Appleby runner is just a 3yo but Rohaan won this as 3yo in 2021 from a 2lbs higher mark, and I fancy Symbol Of Honour is better than 110 especially with the weight for age allowance. Finished 1.25L 6th on quick ground in the Coventry Stakes last year and since then he's been beaten three times, all over 7f, but won all four attempts over 6f including twice in Meydan before picking up a Listed race and a Group 2 back on UK soil. Got up close home last time and suspect he would be running in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup if the yard didn't also have Shadow Of Light in that race. Holds a July Cup (Group 1) entry, will love the quick ground and looks pretty well drawn with Get It going forward close by.

Jasour ran better than the bare result when finishing 10th in the Group 1 King Charles III on Tuesday, considering the strong track bias. He finished 3rd on his side, in front of Believing and Night Raider. 6f is more his trip as shown when winning the Commonwealth Cup trial here last year and then a close 3rd in the Group 1 main event over C&D. Tongue tie goes on today suggesting he could have more to offer than we saw on Tuesday, and with the track bias hopefully less prevalent and Topgear going forward from the stall next door (stall 7) he can outrun his odds for a trainer who has had his sprinters in good form.

Lazzat can confirm his status as sprintings 6f superstar having bolted up in a French Listed race when last seen, having run over 8f twice prior to that. His record at 6f is a perfect two from two, and he showed when a close 2nd over 7f in the Everest Stakes (Aus) that he handles quick ground. We've seen a few shocks recently but I think he's a proper horse and can repel the Japanese challenge.

Happy to draw a line through his below par effort on soft ground at Ascot last time, and his neck 2nd to Jan Bruegel at Goodwood last summer in the Group 3 Gordon Stakes shows this trip is no issue.

Finished 2L 2nd to Commonwealth Cup fav Shadow Of Light on debut over 6f, before 3rd stepping up to 7f in a competitive maiden at York (Oaks 2nd Whirl back in 5th). Reappeared over 6f with an easy victory in a Salisbury maiden and dropping to sprinting strips should be much better than his opening mark of 93. Fast ground with suit and draw looks fine, giving him options both sides. Had his own Group 1 entry this meeting but connections aim for the low hanging fruit.

Betty Clover has a similar profile to last years winner Soprano, stepping into handicap company after being campaigned in Group races since a 2yo. 8th here in the Queen Mary over 5f before finishing 2nd to Simmering on quick ground over 6f. Finished a nose 2nd to G1 Duke Of Cambridge winner Crimson Advocate over 8f two starts back and although in receipt of the 3yo weight allowance that looks pretty strong form. A mark of 100 on quick ground and with pace drawn nearby leaves her well handicapped in my eyes.

The Coronation Stakes seems to lack a superstar at this stage, with no Desert Flower, Lake Victoria or last years winner Porta Fortuna lining up. The French horse has a quirk or two and I'm not sure about the ground, and whilst Falakeyah was mightily impressive they were fairly modest horses in behind that day. Simmering has saved her best for quick ground and Ascot, having chased home Fairy Godmother over 6f in the Albany last year before winning a pair of Group races, first here at Ascot and then at Deauville. Put her reappearance behind her when finishing a good 3rd in the 1000 Guineas on fast ground before bombing out behind some of these in the Irish version. Trainer reaches for cheekpieces and if the headgear does its trick, a return to fast ground at Ascot should see her go very close in what looks a below par renewal.

The Mullins team have been bullish in their confidence behind Ethical Diamond who was 4th in this race last year from a mark 2lbs lower but pulled too hard and finished 4th. Has been hurdling since and with a hood fitted has settled much better, finishing 4th in the County Hurdle two starts back. The stable say this has been the target for 12-months and they certainly can be trusted to get one lined up. French Duke the big danger but missed her prep run and I think a mark of 96 on similarly quick ground to last year can see Ethical Diamond gain victory.

There are some potential superstars in here including Shadow Of Light and Jonquil but the former is short enough for me and the latter I suspect will appreciate slower ground. The pace and the market leaders are all drawn high and amongst them I think Leovanni is being massively overlooking. She won the Queen Mary over 5f here on rattling ground last year and was given a very easy time of things on return when still finishing 4th in a Listed race at Haydock - the winner that day ran pretty well in the King Charles Stakes on Tuesday. Had excuses last season following her win here, with the ground far too soft at Newmarket. Gets her ideal conditions here and looks to have a perfect draw - way too big a price.

A tricky handicap in which it's paid to be on a wing, with winners coming out of stalls 26, 31, 2, 24 and 26 in the five runnings so far. There looks more pace in the high numbers and my shortlist comprised of the first three in a Chester race back in May - Myal, Holguin and Never So Brave. Preference is for the latter who carries joint top weight from a mark of 105 but is lightly raced and could yet have potential to be a few steps beyond this. Changed to the Balding stable over the summer and rallied to rattle home LTO. That came off a break of 239 days but he's been freshened up since and I'm sure this has been a long term aim so bounce isn't a huge concern. Ran really well here as a 3yo to finish 6th in the Group 3 Jersey Stakes on quick ground and if getting a good pace to aim at he looks well drawn.

Lightly raced after just three career starts and just one on turf. Chucked into a Listed race LTO and finished 4th behind subsequent Irish Guineas 2nd Cosmic Year with a next time out Listed winner in 3rd and subsequent Group 2 winner in 6th. That's strong form and with natural improvement he looks well handicapped from a mark of 99 for a trainer that won this with Docklands two years ago. High draw rarely a negative here and with pace in 25 and 29 he should get a good tow in.

They meet on the same terms today after Merchant's win LTO, and the 4th that day has also won since which makes the form look strong enough. Quick ground suits him and he stays well. Has been bought by Australians presumably with a view to big prizes down under but can claim this en route.

Her best performance came on good ground LTO, when finishing 1L behind the 107-rated Jabaara at Musselburgh in a first time tongue tie and she steps in handicap company for the first time here.

He's been plying his trade at the highest level since joining this yard, having won on his first start for them in a handicap from a mark of 105 (beat Wolferton contender Haunted Dream giving away 7lbs). Dropped into a handicap LTO for the first time since, he finished down the field but suspect that could have been a prep with this in mind. Goes today from a mark of 102 and reunited with Jamie Spencer, he looks well drawn from stall 20 with forward goers in 13 & 14, and should get a strong pace to aim at with his customary hold up style.

A bit of a flier in the Coventry, but Kolkata Knight couldn't have been more impressive on debut, winning by 5L. With the second scoring since, there's some substance to that run. I like a horse ridden prominently here in the 2yo races as it removes the uncertainty of coming through a big field of inexperienced juveniles. I think the fact he's on the opposite side of the draw to the market principals could also be a positive should a draw bias become clear (stall 6 and under have won 4 of the last 6 runnings). The trainer has previous in 2yo races here, having trained a Queen Mary winner, and I think KK looks overpriced in a race which has seen big-priced winners pop up.

There's an argument to say that the 3-year-old form from last year doesn't look top-notch, and they tend to be focused around the top of the market. Quddwah and Docklands both look overpriced, having shown strong form here previously, but preference is for the latter, who has a similar profile to former winner of this, Lord Glitters. He was 2nd in this race last year behind Charyn, and that rival did prove himself top class, whilst his Ascot form reads 1-1-3-2-2-2, all runs over C&D. Ran well on reappearance to finish a close 2nd behind Sardinian Warrior and then undone by the camber at Epsom last time when looking the winner. Quick ground will suit, and with this being the first race of the meeting, there should be a good pace on offer.

Al Qareem has to give him 5lbs and along with the Godolphin horse should set a good pace in this small field which will play to the Mullins' horse's strengths. His run behind Ascot Gold Cup fav Illinois last time reads pretty well, as does his hurdles form in the spring including 3rd in the County Hurdle before winning at Punchestown. He's 2lbs better off with Al Qareem having finished behind him LTO at Chester but this track should make it harder for that rival to dictate matters. He won under Danny Tudhope last August so jockey booking no issue.

Not at his best in two starts this season, but will be suited by the softer ground. Prior to his reappearance, he had always shown his best form at Epsom, where he was 2 from 2. Seems to handle undulations well, as he also has strong form at the likes of Goodwood. A mark of 94 is just 4 lbs above his last winning mark and 3 lbs lower than when 6th in a competitive Class 2 handicap at the Doncaster November meeting. Cheekpieces go on for the first time since September 2023, when they saw him win when fitted for the first time. Maxi King could also outrun his odds, having gone really well fresh and dropping into handicap company.

Jm Jungle is consistent, ground versatile, and seems to handle any track. As a result, he keeps hitting the frame and creeping up in the handicap without winning the races he's deserved. He's now 8 lbs higher than his last winning mark, but I think with Democracy Dilemma in stall 6, he'll get a great tow into the race. He ran well on his only visit here to finish 4th in the 3yo Dash two years ago.

Docklands has the best form on offer, having finished 2nd in the Group 1 Queen Anne last season and just touched off in a number of Listed contests too. Ran well on reappearance to pull well clear with an unexposed horse who since finished 1L 2nd in a French Group 1 behind the Arc favourite, Sosie. Seems to save his best for Ascot, and this might be a prep for a Queen Anne run. But in receipt of weight from his market rival, I think he can claim this prize on his way there.

I was all over Royal Dress at York last time, and she defied an alarming drift to run a really good race in 3rd. Looks the form pick on that basis, and she met loads of trouble in running when a never nearer 3rd in this race last year, and would surely have won with a clear run. Softer ground is no issue, and she handles the undulations well.

Roger Varian has a strong record in this race, having won it 4 times since 2014. He has another good chance this year with Defiance who ran really well behind Bellum Justum in a Derby trial here on reappearance last year, going down 0.75L when conceding first run. Hung badly next time when down the field at Lingfield and then clearly not right at Royal Ascot in the Group 2 KE VII Stakes. Off since but makes his handicap debut from a mark of 99 which on a line through Bellum Justum - now rated 112 after winning a couple of Group races - leaves him really well handicapped at a track he clearly handles well. Ground should be fine and he went well fresh here last year. Looks an obvious blot if ready to go first time.

Calandagan will be a tough nut to crack, but he has finished 2nd in his last 3 runs. I think Giavellotto doesn't have as much to find as their Meydan run in April would suggest. He'll be suited by the falling rain and has plenty of class, as shown by his win in the Hong Kong Vase (G1) in December. There looks to be a good pace on offer, so it shouldn't get too tactical. He's got 2 wins from 3 runs at this trip, with the messy Meydan race last time being the only blot on his copybook.

You can argue The Waco Kid nicked the race when beating Diego Ventura to win the Group 3 Tattersalls Stakes at Newmarket last September. He does carry a penalty for that win, but he beat today's favorite by 2.25L that day. 2lbs worse off here, but he's 3lbs clear on ratings, and there doesn't look to be loads of pace on offer. Stall 3 at this tight turning track means he could grab the rail and go in first-time cheekpieces. With cut in the ground, he could be really hard to peg back.

Kings Lynn may be an 8yo now but returns to the turf having shown on the AW that he retains his ability, finishing 2nd three starts back from a mark of 90. He's 3lbs lower today which puts him 6lbs lower than his last turf start on soft ground at York in October which came in a better race than this. Looks well drawn with forward goers in stalls 2 & 6 and he's 2 from 2 at Haydock, albeit those came a few years ago but in pattern company. Soft ground suits him and Oisin is back in the saddle for a yard in strong form.
