1: PALACE PIER (3:00pm Royal Ascot) (5 Votes)
Shaped up really well on opening two career starts at Sandown, winning a class four by 3.75 lengths and then rising a level to win by 4.5 lengths in September. Despite progress being hampered by a leg injury, this colt returned to action in style at Newcastle in an extend mile trip, winning by 3.25 lengths. Could surprise the main two of Wichita and Pinatubo, if he can continue the improvements.

2: ANGEL ALEXANDER (4:10pm Royal Ascot) (3 Votes)
Won the Ayr Gold Cup last September as a 28/1 shot on his first appearance over 6f and followed from that with a place in a Group 3 over in France. Form has dipped since racing over in Meydan, with a best of fifth, so needs to improve and refind the form of old to challenge. Each-way backing at this price looks prudent

3: QAADER (1:50pm Royal Ascot) (2 Votes)
Debuted a week ago in impressive style at Newbury, when taking the lead into the last furlong and kicking on to win by 4 lengths, despite veering to the left briefly. Third place in that race, Perotto has since gone on to win at Goodwood. Main threat to Admiral Nelson and can go close here, with expected improvement to come.

4: LAUDED (1:50pm Royal Ascot) (2 Votes)
Winner at Haydock twelve days ago, leading 4f out and maintaining that lead to win by 4 lengths. Showed plenty of promise that day and there is no real reason as to why he cannot do it here today. Will be in the mix.

5: SCEPTICAL (3:35pm Royal Ascot) (2 Votes)
Winner of last four runs, completing a hat-trick at Dundalk, before streaming clear in a listed race at Naas last time out to win by 3 lengths on turf debut. Bought for less than £3,000 and looks an absolute snip with this Group 1 race well within his grasp.
