Forecasts

Kalpana (9/4), Goliath (7/2), Jan Brueghel (6/1), Best Secret (17/2), Ethical Diamond (17/2), Giavellotto (9/1), Santorini Star (16/1), West Wind Blows (25/1), Amiloc (28/1), Lambourn (28/1), Sons And Lovers (50/1), Phantom Flight (100/1)

Verdict

The remarkably consistent and versatile KALPANA can confirm last year's strong King George form with Jan Brueghel and record a third Ascot success. The Ballydoyle duo should ensure this is a thorough test, which could play into the hands of Ethical Diamond, who showed an impressive turn of foot off an end-to-end gallop when successful in the Breeders' Cup last year.

  1. KALPANA
  2. JAN BRUEGHEL (IRE)
  3. ETHICAL DIAMOND (IRE)
