Verdict

This is wide open but Henry de Bromhead's Ascot Stakes hero ASCENDING brings rock solid form to the table and can resume winning ways on the back of an excellent Ebor second with this return to a marathon trip a big plus. Emmet Mullins' smart hurdler Filey Bay remains with few miles in this sphere and could emerge as the chief threat, although a whole host of others offer persuasive cases, notably Happy Pharoah, Small Fry, Tounsivator and Comfort Zone in a cracking Irish Ceserawitch.
