Brighton winner was a highly respectable eighth of 21 in Listed Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot latest and from a good draw and with top jockey aboard he isn't ruled out here by any means.
Showed ability in maidens but having finished eighth and seventh respectively he faces a tough task here against classy sorts and draw ties jockey's hands.
Won his first two before going down by a neck in 5f Group Two Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot latest. Form exceptional at this level and will take an awful lot of beating for yard which has won three of last six renewals.
Twice second before limiations exposed in Listed Chesham over 7f at Royal Ascot. Altogether different test here but doubt he has the raw pace for it.
Maiden of five one of four for yard which has won this race nine times in all including with Ginger Nut last year. There are stronger representatives for the stable than this however.
Won a 17-runner conditions race at Doncaster on debut but well beaten at Chester next time. No match for a decent rival at Pontefract in four runner contest when last seen before breaking loose at the start at Royal Ascot. Others preferred.
Speedy uber-precocious sort won twice in the spring over 5f before having limitations exposed at pattern level the last three times. Not ruled out here however although likely sort for a place.
Winner at Ripon in April but not improved since in three starts so has plenty to find here and slow start like last time catastrophic in a race such as this.
Sixth in the Group Two Queen Mary at Royal Ascot and second in all her other three starts. Yard have an excellent record in this and although stablemate Ventura Spirit the one they all have to beat she is far from out of this.
Gelded since 24L defeat in soft ground latest but nothing in three starts to date give him any chance in this.
Windsor winner outran 80/1 odds when only beaten 4¼L into eighth in Group Two Norfolk at Royal Ascot latest. That gives her 4L to make up with Ventura Rebel however so must further up her game.
Once raced son of precocious sire No Nay Never was highly impressive when winning going away in a 5f Nottingham maiden. This tough for one so inexperienced but one of the smartest prospects and can not be taken lightly.
Made late progress into fifth of nine in lone start at Beverley earlier this month but would need to make enormous step forward to figure here.
5½f Brighton winner had limitations exposed when well down the field in the Windsor Castle last time out and rivals from that race fared considerably better.
Won twice on AW in April and similar level since on turf with Listed fourth and sevenths. Others open to more improvement but considerable experience a real bonus in a race such as this and well capable of a place.
Lingfield winner struggled in 6f Group Three Albany at Royal Ascot before better effort at Windsor latest when second under a penalty. Yard won this nine times so can't be taken lightly and she may be pick of their four.
Maiden of three not made obvious progress in those races to date and all of her efforts a long way short of the required form here.
Built on three 5f seconds with 6f wins at Windsor in a novice event and at Chelmsford in a nursery. Stays well and has the requisite experience then to make her presence felt under the champion jockey.
Lingfield turf winner in her fourth start but well held under a penalty over C&D latest and must step up her form here although this yard hard to ignore in this race.
Beverley winner on debut has progressed based on two sound efforts at Catterick the last twice but this a huge step up in class and yard has two far more obvious contenders.
Lone placing in four starts a third of four at Brighton. Surely facing an impossible task here then.
Third on debut at Windsor before chasing home Baileys In Bloom next at Beverley. That one winless since so surely up against it here.
Filly by Gutaifan won over 6f here on debut just nine days ago and did do pretty convincingly too. In the 'could be anything' bracket here and as such wouldn't put anyone off at double-figure prices.
Nottingham winner in May has placed in three of her other four starts so has the experience required to run her race here although others have displayed stronger form to date.

It will take a serious performance to deny Norfolk Stakes runner-up VENTURA REBEL here and indeed if this were a handicap he would give at least 15lb to all of those with a rating. If there is to be a fly in the ointment it is most likely to be impressive Nottingham winner Never In Paris although that ones inexperience only adds to the size of the task. With many of the more fancied runners drawn low if high draws end up holding sway a filly like Bettys Hope could very easily be in line for an upset.
