Verdict

ROCK MY WAY had so much in hand at Ascot last time that even a 9 lb rise is potentially lenient. The main threat may come from Collectors Item, who is theoretically weighted to turn around recent course form with last year's runner-up Jubilee Express. O'Connell, Mr Vango and Haiti Couleurs also make the shortlist.

  1. ROCK MY WAY (IRE)
  2. COLLECTORS ITEM (IRE)
  3. JUBILEE EXPRESS (FR)
