This looks very competitive with little to choose between the field on ratings. TILSIT came very close to winning the Prix d'Ispahan at Longchamp last time so shades the vote back down in grade. Sir Busker has an excellent record at Ascot and is another who's back down in class having finished third in the Queen Anne, while Century Dream and Top Rank are also high on the shortlist.
