J: Trevor Whelan

9-5

108

124

Second in Group 1 Champions Sprint over C&D in 2022 and also runner-up in 2023 Group 1 July Cup; raced just once last year and returned from absence with close fourth in Group 3 Abernant in April; could build on that latest performance but this 7yo needs to prove he retains all his old ability.

3211-1

Topgear

J: Stephane Pasquier

T: Christopher Head

9-5

116

129

Hugely impressive when winning the Group 2 Challenge Stakes at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) last October and reappeared with Group 3 win at Longchamp (7f, good to soft) last month, beating the Abernant winner Sajir; unraced on officially fast ground and drops back in trip today, but he's shown enough speed the last twice to suggest he could be just as good over 6f; respected.

2-3633

Annaf

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Michael Appleby

9-5

107

125

Beaten last eight starts but step back in right direction with close third in Listed race at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last time; his record here catches the eye, with a third in the 2023 King's Stand (now the King Charles III) and a Group 3 win over this C&D that October, and he has a good record in big fields; could have a much better chance than his forecast big odds suggest; cheekpieces go on.

Satono Reve

J: Joao Moreira

T: Noriyuki Hori

9-5

118

131

Grade 1 winner in native Japan (6f, good to firm) in March then second in 6f Group 1 at Sha Tin; no match for the winner but that was Ka Ying Rising, the best sprinter in the world; has finished strongly when racing round a bend in those races, which suggests this straight course will suit, and star jockey Joao Moreira has winning experience at Ascot; leading claims.

2⁽⁹⁾

1180-4

Elite Status

J: Clifford Lee

T: K R Burke

9-5

111

128

Underwhelming on final two runs last term and only fourth to Inisherin in the Duke Of York on his return; however, he shaped as though he may have needed that latest outing and looked a possible future Group 1 winner when landing a hot running of the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last July; might not be far away if tapping back into that promise.

7⁽⁶⁾

600-60

Jasour

J: Jim Crowley

T: Clive Cox

9-5

107

123

C&D Group 3 winner last May before creditable third to Inisherin in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup (good to firm); made late headway into tenth of 20 in a first-time hood (retained) in the King Charles III here (5f, good to firm) on Tuesday and should appreciate the return to 6f, but didn't show enough last time to have compelling claims today; a tongue-tie goes on.

NR⁽⁵⁾

28-551

James's Delight

T: Clive Cox

9-5

109

125

Highly progressive during last year's 3yo campaign and he returned to form with a short-head win in the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good) last month; however, further improvement is needed if he's to follow up and the forecast fast ground may be against him.

16⁽¹⁴⁾

310-83

Nighteyes

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: David O'Meara

9-2

102

122

Listed winner at Naas (6f, yielding) last July and kept on well for close Listed third at Haydock (6f, good to firm) last month, despite being slowly away; there can be optimism that she's capable of better still but a good chunk of improvement is required if she's to play a part this afternoon.

14⁽⁴⁾

1453-2

Flora Of Bermuda

J: P J McDonald

T: Andrew Balding

9-2

112

130

Got better and better last season, which culminated in a close third over C&D (soft) in the Group 1 Champions Sprint; reappeared with close second to Inisherin in the Group 2 Duke Of York (6f, good to firm) and this progressive 4yo could still have more to offer; she's one to consider.

4⁽²⁾

001-28

Iberian

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Charles Hills

9-5

107

123

2yo Group 2 winner who would probably have won the Listed Cammidge Trophy at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) on reappearance but for swerving left inside the final furlong; lost his race at the start at the Curragh subsequently and he's unraced on fast ground, so arrives with a couple of queries, but this lightly raced 4yo is unexposed over 6f and might not be a forlorn hope.

10⁽³⁾

45-112

Sajir

J: Oisin Murphy

T: A Fabre

9-5

111

124

Lightly raced, French-trained 4yo who has been better than ever this year, winning the Group 3 Abernant at Newmarket (6f, good) before solid second to Topgear in Group 3 at Longchamp (7f, good to soft); however, needs to raise his game further if he's to make his mark in this competitive Group 1.

15⁽¹⁰⁾

4017-1

Great Generation

J: Marco Ghiani

T: Marco Botti

9-2

110

125

5-10 including three Group 3 wins, the latest on reappearance at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month when taking the Chartwell Fillies' Stakes for the second consecutive season; also highly effective at 6f; further improvement can't be ruled out but it's certainly needed today.

5⁽¹³⁾

1150-1

Inisherin

J: William Buick

T: Kevin Ryan

9-5

116

132

Dominant win in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup over C&D (good to firm) 12 months ago; two lesser runs followed in Group 1s against older horses but he got back on track with a reappearance win in the Group 2 Duke Of York (6f, good to firm), narrowly beating Flora Of Bermuda; firmly in calculations.

3⁽⁸⁾

340-27

Grand Grey

J: Jamie Spencer

T: Kevin Ryan

9-5

107

122

Ex-French 4yo who produced a career best when close second to Sajir on stable debut in Group 3 Abernant at Newmarket (6f, good) in April, despite the steady early pace being against him; blew his chance at the start at the Curragh last month and comes with risk attached, but Jamie Spencer excels on hold-up horses on the straight course here and he's not ruled out each-way.

12⁽¹⁵⁾

1348-9

Storm Boy

J: Ryan Moore

T: A P O'Brien

9-5

113

126

Australian 6f Group 2 winner who made the frame in Group 1s there; disappointing favourite on stable debut at the Curragh last month but the ex-Australian Starspangledbanner won this for the yard in 2010 following a substandard first northern hemisphere run; could bounce back with a very bold show.

8⁽¹¹⁾

129-41

Lazzat

J: James Doyle

T: J Reynier

9-5

118

134

Made it 6-6 with 3l win in the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville (6.5f, good to soft) last August before fine second in Australia (7.5f, good); returned to form with easy Listed win at Chantilly (6f, good to soft) last month on second start of the season; now tests his 6f credentials against much tougher opposition but has the potential to be a sprinting superstar.

RACING POST TIP

Satono Reve

A fascinating race featuring form from top-level races across the globe. Ka Ying Rising, the best sprinter in the world, isn't here but SATONO REVE finished second to the Hong Kong phenomenon in the Group 1 Chairman's Sprint Prize at Sha Tin in April and is taken to become the first Japanese-trained winner at Royal Ascot. Last season's commanding Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest winner Lazzat is another exciting contender and he is feared most ahead of Topgear, who has looked extremely good in 7f Group races on his last two starts. Inisherin, Storm Boy and Flora Of Bermuda could also be involved, while Annaf has an eyecatching record here and in big fields and is a very interesting outsider.

What happened in the Queen Elizabeth Jubilee Stakes last year?

KHAADEM registered back-to-back wins in this Group 1 sprint. Charlie Hills’ speedster scored at 80-1 under Jamie Spencer in this race last year and struck at 14-1 this time around under Oisin Murphy. A strong gallop played to his strengths, with the Jim and Fitri Hay-owned sprinter making steady headway from the rear before pouncing late on for a half-length win over long-time leader Swingalong. Mill Stream, who won the July Cup on his next start, was back in third and the 3-1 favourite Believing finished fourth, having filled the same position in the King Charles III Stakes earlier in the week.
