Verdict

BALLISTIC MISSILE failed to cut much ice in the Coventry at Royal Ascot but his York success prior to that was promising and he can resume his progression with his sights lowered. Royal Bodyguard caught the eye with nurseries in mind at Doncaster last month and is second choice ahead of recent Newbury runner-up John Barleycorn.
