Jan Brueghel (4/5), Bellum Justum (11/4), Meydaan (5/1), Sayedaty Sadaty (11/1), Align The Stars (14/1)

Verdict

BELLUM JUSTUM resumed his progress when third in the Hampton Court at Royal Ascot and another big run is on the cards under ideal conditions. The unbeaten Jan Brueghel is potentially very smart so rates a huge threat despite a 3 lb penalty, while there's no obvious reason to doubt Sayedaty Sadaty's much-improved performance in the Derby.
