'Has been found wanting in eight Group 1s and unlikely to make it ninth time lucky'

'Close fifth last year and an easy scorer at Lingfield first time out; big shout'

'Dual Group 1 scorer last year; second in King's Stand on Tuesday; major player'

'Third in this in 2022 and even better back in Australia this year; very solid credentials'

'Australian 7yo; poor win record these days but high-class form and could make the frame'

'Better than ever as 6yo; unexposed at 6f; yard has fine record in race; high on the list'

'Won two Group 1s in second half of last year; leading contender if ready after a break'

'Talented French sprinter, but improvement needed at this level and quick ground an unknown'

'Half-brother to 2016 winner Twilight Son; improved since tenth last year; each-way hopes'

'Unraced outside Hong Kong but would have leading claims if able to bring his best to Ascot'

'High class on his day but well held 12 months ago and remote last of nine on reappearance'

'Still capable of very smart form but 0-9 at Group 1 level'

'Improving US colt, second in Grade 1 last time; Ascot could suit; seriously considered'

'Won here as a 2yo but will need a career best by some way to land this hot Group 1'

'Presumably rusty when well held on reappearance; loves Ascot and a big player on best form'
