ILLINOIS (3) confirmed his status in this staying division when a strong 7L second attempting the 2m4f G1 Ascot Gold Cup at Royal Ascot six weeks ago. Top chance. FRENCH MASTER (2) bids for a hat-trick with a 1m6f course handicap victory preceding a 2.5L success in the 1m6f Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot. Big claims. SCANDINAVIA (8) caught the eye delivering an impressive 8.5L success tackling the 1m5f G3 Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket. Likely player. SUNWAY (5) produced a solid fourth contesting the 1m4f G2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot. Might feature. TRUESHAN(7) won this in 2021 and could be interesting if the rain comes. Needs a market check.
