Jan Brueghel
Confidence: Medium
Jan Brueghel (SR 133, 9/2) is the joint-highest rated horse in the field alongside Kalpana, but carries 3lb more than the favourite (9-3 vs 9-0) — a marginal weight disadvantage offset by the fact that a 3lb pull on Good to Firm is far less punishing than on soft. His form string 214-12 shows a course-and-distance second followed by a win last time out, confirming he is at peak fitness heading into this Grade 2 assignment. A P O'Brien's record with Group horses at Ascot in summer is formidable, and the 9/2 represents fair value against a favourite who, while in form (2271-1), has a 3lb weight concession working against her on what is essentially a level-weights contest. Jan Brueghel's last-time-out win combined with his strong SR and Ascot form alignment make him the most complete package in the field.
Each-way alternative: Goliath.
Main danger: Kalpana — Kalpana (SR 133, 5/2) carries 3lb less than Jan Brueghel, is race-fit off a last-time-out win (form 2271-1), and the market's strong support at 5/2 favourite reflects genuine confidence that Andrew Balding has her in career-best form.
