William Haggas' pair Dubai Honour and Addeybb and Aidan O'Brien's Broome have swerved Wednesday's Prince of Wales's Stakes, as Bay Bridge leads a five-strong international field at Royal Ascot.
Sir Michael Stoute's Bay Bridge will be looking for his sixth win as he continues his rapid progression since winning all four of his starts last term including the Listed James Seymour at Newmarket.

Adding to the international flavour is Grand Glory, who landed the Group One Prix Jean Romanet for Italian trainer Gianluca Bietolini last August.
The Queen's Vase sees a field of 12 going to post, with Charlie Appleby hoping to win it for the second successive year. He relies on Hafit and Nahaani, who takes his place following a creditable seventh in the Derby just 11 days ago.
Yarmouth winner Baltic Bird represents team Gosden and there is royal interest with the Queen's Newbury scorer Perfect Alibi saddled by Haggas, while unbeaten Eldar Eldarov is on a hat-trick for Roger Varian.
