A race that is always one of the most competitive of the entire week at Royal Ascot and this year is no different. The obvious place to start is last year's winner (and 2018 runner-up) AFAAK who is just 3lb above last year's winning mark and that is negated to some extent with a talented apprentice taking off 3lb. He narrowly gets the vote ahead of Qaysar who put up a huge effort at Newmarket on return having looked beaten at half way. Kynren goes well here and he was probably in need of his recent comeback run while John Gosden has the exciting Lord Tennyson who could be anything on just his third career start here.
