King Of Fury (11/8), Royal Jet (7/2), Cervetto (9/2), Plink (17/2), Scorch (17/2), Top Button (12/1), Tilsworth Turf (100/1)

KING OF FURY sets a clear standard so can open his account at the third attempt. Royal Jet hinted at ability in a decent Ascot novice last season so may emerge as the biggest threat on his belated return.
