1

A Case Of You

Though tried over further it has now become clear to connections that sprinting is his game, showing winning speed in a Naas G3 last month. Best on slow ground.

2

Diligent Harry

His all-weather sprint performances have been memorable in recent months, especially his defeat of some very fast rivals at Lingfield last time. Optimism from his pedigree for turf.

3

Dragon Symbol

Gained a major reputation as uncatchable on all-weather surfaces earlier in 2021. In a Haydock G2 last time not much went right but he still ran a cracking second on the grass.

4

Fivethousandtoone

Will have to win this on his first start since last October, a tricky challenge. Best effort in 2020 was a strong-finishing close second in a Newbury G2.

5

Jumby

Yet to run a poor race whilst the figures suggest continued improvement, highlighted by his fluent win under top weight in a Newmarket handicap last time. But G1 company now.

6

Laws Of Indices

A G2 winner over this trip last year and has run with credit on both 2021 starts, latterly when always up with the speed and sticking on well when a close fourth in a Naas G3.

7

Lipizzaner

Effective at quite a high level over this trip last season but he's been a beaten favourite in both 2021 starts.

8

Method

Three out of four classy efforts as a two-year, probably best suited to this 1200m trip. A respectable return at Haydock last month, the heavy ground not ideal.

9

Mighty Gurkha

No wins yet on a turf surface, hardly an advertisement that he is about to win this G1 prize. Might try and lead but surely won't stay in front.

10

Saint Lawrence

Ran a solid second in a trial for this here in April. Well beaten in a Haydock G2 last time. Maybe heavy ground was to blame but it was still disappointing.

11

Supremacy

Showed some thrilling speed at two, especially winning a 1200m Newmarket G1 from the front. Now needs to be forgiven a very modest 2021 return here at Ascot.

12

The Lir Jet

Showed sparkling speed to win a 1000m Royal Ascot G2 in 2020 on just his second career start. Narrowly defeated on his 2021 return. Hated heavy ground last time.

13

Campanelle

This lightly-raced US-trained speed machine won a G2 here last year before thrashing her rivals in a G1 at Deauville. Now must show the same devastating speed as she had as a youngster.

14

Dandalla

A G3 and G2 winner at two, but hasn't managed to so far confirm that brilliance this season. though the rain-soaked ground didn't help at Haydock last time.

15

Happy Romance

Has certainly progressed from two to three judging by a Listed all-weather win, but looks vulnerable to classier rivals.

16

Isabella Giles

Very talented at two, including a G2 victory. Hasn't lived up to that this year but not beaten far in all three starts.

17

Measure Of Magic

Looks really smart, having won both starts this season - including in Listed company at Cork with something to spare.

18

Miss Amulet

This is her ideal trip and best on slow ground as she showed when winning a G2 at York last year. Back to a sprint trip after making no impact in a 1600m G1 last month.

19

Mooneista

Getting stronger as the race went on she won a Listed event at Naas, again showing a lot of speed last time. Has a very willing attitude.

20

Sacred

Responded gamely to jockey pressure when a 1400m G3 Newmarket winner in April. Failed to last 1600m last time so down to a sprinters' trip.

21

Suesa

Brilliant French-trained speedsters are less frequent than UK-trained ones but Suesa appears to be very fast, again leaving her rivals behind in a Chantilly G3 last time. All runs so far on slow ground.
