Perhaps MANCINI didn't stay 2m4f last time at Royal Ascot when a beaten favourite but his C&D second off just a 1lb higher mark penultimately is very appealing and he gets the vote now to go one better. Makawee trotted up in her first attempt over 1m6f, perhaps now going up another 2f will unlock further improvement so she is the most feared rival. Back on turf now Michael's Mount could very easily return to form so he too is respected.
