Nad Alshiba Green is a nice sort who is coming to it now. Rossa Ryan in the saddle. Game type. Trip not to suit and has won here previously with three pounds more weight than he carries today, so I feel even for the tougher field, might still make a good fist of things, as he looks like a better horse in the making.

Solana Rose meets a nice field here, but I think she can give a good account. Probably out of her depth at Ascot on a roomy track and might have got a shade lost. She was impressive at Ripon before that, but obviously still has a bit to learn. Trip to suit, very good rider and trainer, and together they could get some of this at odds if the favorite has an off-day, as we all do at one time or another.

Arch Empire to upset the favorite for mine. I think the key to this race is the distance, and most will struggle with it, whereas Arch Empire is probably best suited to it than most. At the price, I'd usually go with more for a place than a win with such a cramped favorite in a field like this, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him top the favorite off given the lack of depth in this field generally.

Karen Jewell and Robert Havlin combine here to try and get Pablo Prince home at good odds. No world-beater by any stretch of the imagination, but can be useful on his day and has placed twice when produced second-up previously. Needs to find a bit extra off the back of that resuming 9th and may need another yet to peak, but Havlin knows the horse well (two of the horse's four wins have come with him in the saddle) and PP has won three of his four raceday wins at this trip. So, at the odds, might represent an each-way chance.

Aidan O'Brien produces the short-priced Kansas here in a fairly ordinary-looking field, to be honest.

That type of form line looks good for the opener at Tipperary.

Umbria is a course and distance winner who is third-up here. The first run had 'improver' written all over it, but that forward showing may have taken the edge off second-up, and he came unstuck.

Solar Biricz looks set to shine in this race restricted to apprentice riders. The talented Shay Farmer can claim 8 pounds to bring the weight down to a competitive level again after a last start winning turn at Doncaster when Solar Biricz ran on well to win at nice odds. Should be at peak for this, and Farmer and Tom Kiely-Marshall are the only jockeys in this field who boast double-figure strike rates. That sort of experience appeals when push comes to shove at the business end of proceedings. Kiely-Marshall has actually ridden Solar Biricz previously for a second, but Tom finds himself aboard the rather green and often untidy beginner in Fair Call, who will learn plenty here but could get into a top three spot if he can jump a bit better than in his career thus far. I'm still leaning towards the form horse in Solar Biricz this time out, though, as from the draw he should get a nice sit behind the pace or be right on it, and he has the type of turn of foot to capitalise late.

Good trainer and a jockey, who knows this course well, combine their talents here with Run Of Luck, who performs much betetr on turf than the synthetics he's been tried on from time to time. Won fresh-up in this prep and I have a sneaking suspicion that probably took the deg off for his next run on Tapeta anyway and the trqack didn't look to suit anyweay, so that run is probably best forgiven. Produced a betetr effort for fifth last time out when returned to the turf and likely to go on with it now.

Tashkan has been a useful stayer who has probably had a few issues that have puzzled his connections at times. He showed so much promise early on but hasn't quite converted it as many though he might. Irish raider Sober looks the one on paper but races aren't run on that stuff, so anything is possible. Very f ew of these appeal as betetr staying types than Tashkan but if he doesn't measure up in this average-looking lineup goes then I'd say it might be decision time for the connections around his future.

Ernst Blofeld is a horse who looks to have ability and you'd be hoping he will expand on his early promise for a very good yard here. Question time for many of the horses' various connections here I think and he will be no exception.

Brandon Wilkie would remember this for a lifetime if he can pull this off on as horse he has a real affinity for and with. Racing sometimes has fairytales and even Ascot has been known for the odd one on occasion and if Holkham Bay can get home on a course he clearly likes and makes the most of his 13 pound advantage over the 'toppy' then maybe it might be a day to remember for all concerned.

Underrated horse who has had his fair share of problems for trainer Burke to iron out and has turned out to be a puzzle wrapped in an enigma in that sense. Sheik Mohammad Obaid Al Maktoum is an astute horseman in his own right and between them him and Burke will have decided this is worth a roll of the dice woth the improvement that first run back for fourth indicated. He certainly needed that run but should have trimmed up a good deal as a result. Dead right or one more? That's the the real question here but I wouldn't weant to risk him at these odds all the same.

Cerulean bay is the one I am picking for the big upset in the last of the day. The two Davids (Probert and O'Meara) are cobining and hopefully to slay Goliath for the second time in history - this time at Royal Ascot. Needed first two runs and that fifth at Chester was an improved showing. I feel the formline is a bit better than it looks on paper and I suspect they've probably had a few issues to iron out but he has the draw to capitlise this time, as history suggests for this race. Four of five wins to date have come when he's been drawn within the first six barriers and he gets barrier four here. This is not a great race for favourites but horses who are fourth up perform well in it and that's the way CB comes into this open field.

High Stock has a rider change here to William Buick and its hard to know whether Oison Murphy, who rides the Roger Varian horse, got the drag or opted for the other horse but Murphy was ebukllient about the prospects of this horse when he rode him earlier in his career. The Sandown win a few starts back came from a very wide draw and had a touch of class about it. If he ran up to that here on a track that should suit, I can see him right in this finish and if Trinity College had an off-day I think he might be the one to top him off.

The Gosdens don't very often have an outsider in a field but that reflects the class of this lineup more than anything.

He can't carry them but he invariably puts them in the best place if they are good enough.
