13/2 5/1 6/1
Almaqam arrives fresh from a convincing 2-length Tattersalls Gold Cup victory at the Curragh, and with course-and-distance form to call upon and strong claims as a progressive five-year-old, he's a serious threat from stall 1 under 128lb — fast ground the one factor to watch.
AI verdict

Almaqam's Saturday Rating of 112 and non-favourite market position suggest insufficient class for Group 1 level despite solid 1233-1 form.

Winless in recent starts but shaped with promise when fourth in the Lockinge latest, and the first-time cheekpieces stay on here; held up over a suited trip, though fast ground would be preferred and this looks a stiff ask regardless.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 98 and poor form figures of 390-64 make Dancing Gemini a weak contender at 9-2 weight.

Daryz arrives in career-best form after a facile 3½-length Group 1 success at Longchamp last time, and as the reigning Arc winner has the class to dominate again — the sole concern is whether the going proves quick enough to see the best of him.
AI verdict

Rated 118 with solid form (621-11), Daryz carries 9-2 weight without favourite market support, limiting confidence.

Held up as a pacemaker for a stablemate, Devil's Advocate is tough to fancy in his own right — pulled 18 lengths clear latest on ground probably too fast, and the first-time headgear does little to shorten the odds at the bottom of the market, even if the yard won this last year.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 97 and inconsistent form (417-24) at 9-2 weight makes Devil's Advocate a weak Group 1 contender.

125/1 100/1 80/1
Mississippi River finished out of the frame most recently after being deployed as a pacemaker at Group 1 level, and returns here likely in a similar role — bottom of our rankings among eight runners, the first-time blinkers do little to change that outlook despite proven course-and-distance form.
AI verdict

Form figures of 51-570 and a low Saturday Rating of 82 make Mississippi River uncompetitive at 9-2 weight in Group 1 company.

Ombudsman won this race 12 months ago and backed it up with a Brigadier Gerard Stakes success last time, making him the obvious one to beat on a going that suits; the yard is in form and a 20-day turnaround looks ideal, though a neck margin last time hints he's not foot-perfect.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 119 and non-favourite market position leave Ombudsman outgunned despite solid 212-11 form at 9-2.

13/2 5/1 6/1
Minnie Hauk, the 2025 Oaks winner effective over this trip and proven on the going, arrives 24 days fresh and shaped as a leading danger at 125lb from stall 5 — though she must bounce back after a puzzling 9-length defeat last time out.
AI verdict

Moderate Saturday Rating of 115, inconsistent form (126-15), and carrying 8-13 without market support limits Minnie Hauk's winning prospects.

Landed the Middleton Fillies' Stakes (Group 2) at York last time and clearly thrives at the course, but was third here 12 months ago and needs to find more to go one better; in-form, trainer excels here, though our rating suggests she's just held on form assessment.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 109 and recent form of 429-11 suggest inconsistency makes See The Fire vulnerable at 8-13 weight in Group 1 company.

Ombudsman
Confidence: Medium

Ombudsman (SR 119) carries the joint-top SR in the field and arrives on a career-best form string of 212-11 — two consecutive wins rounding into this Group 1. Trained by the Gosden yard, which has a strong record at Ascot in the championship races, and the 9-2 level weights mean he carries no penalty disadvantage over rivals with lower SRs. The 1m1f212y trip at Ascot on Good to Firm suits a progressive five-year-old with confirmed stamina and finishing speed. The primary risk is Daryz, whose 621-11 line shows a similar late-season surge, but Ombudsman's SR edge and the Gosden Ascot profile tip the balance. Each-way alternative: Daryz. Main danger: Daryz — Daryz (SR 118, form 621-11) is on a two-race winning streak under Graffard and represents improving four-year-old form that could easily match or surpass Ombudsman's profile on fast Ascot ground.
