Verdict

The traditional Royal Ascot finale is run over the longest distance in the Flat calendar and it's TASHKHAN who gets the nod to come out on top provided he's ready to roll on return. The main threat may emerge from Queenstown, who has taken his form up a level this season and is Aidan O'Brien's sole representative, while last year's first and third in this Dawn Rising and Run For Oscar can do battle for minor honours in what is a truly unique test.
