King Of Conquest (11/8), Crystal Delight (3/1), Deauville Legend (9/2), Aimeric (11/2), Verbier (22/1), Kemari (25/1)

Charlie Appleby's quiet start to the season has been well publicised (had only 6 Royal Ascot runners) but KING OF CONQUEST could provide just the tonic for Moulton Paddocks stable. He was back to his very best when accounting for Aimeric at Goodwood earlier this month and can confirm his superiority with that rival despite being 3 lb worse off. Crystal Delight has found a chunk of improvement since joining Harry Eustace, so he rounds off the shortlist stepping up in grade.
