RIBCHESTER will be hard to beat in his bid for a third straight Group 1 and his versatility conditions wise may give him the edge over Churchill. Aidan O'Brien's four-time Group 1 winner probably found his run at Royal Ascot coming too soon after successes in the Guineas either side of the Irish Sea but he ought to give Ribchester most to think about if he's back to form. Zelzal has been a little disappointing on his latest two starts but he's prevailed in Group 1 company in his native France and he's an interesting runner on his UK debut.
