Ice Max (G)
FAV
Former Celebration Mile here on soft. Below par on reappearance in Germany but quickly back on form when 1½ lengths third to Lambourn in Huxley at Chester (10.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago, finishing with running left after meeting trouble…

Naqeeb (G)
Smart performer who landed a C&D listed race (good) last September. Returned with a fine fifth in 1m Ascot listed race (good to firm) 3 weeks ago but suspicion he might prove vulnerable for win purposes under a penalty.

Boiling Point (H)
Listed winner for Roger Varian and opened account for present yard when edging home in the 23-runner Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (9f, good to firm) in September. Too free when below his best in Group 3s at Lingfield (all-weather) and Newma…

Certain Lad (G)
Listed/Group 3 winner on going softer than good in France in 2024. Didn't seem quite the force of old last season but seems likely to have ground conditions to suit on reappearance.

Enfjaar (G)
[H]
Smart performer who was a fine 1½ lengths fourth of 16 to Haatem in last year's Wolferton at Royal Ascot. Below that level when 6½ lengths third in listed race at Newbury (1¼m, good to firm) last July. Off since (changed hands for 120,000 …

Haatem (H)
FAV
Three-time Group winner (including here as a 2-y-o) who landed the second Royal Ascot success of his career when seeing off 15 rivals in the listed Wolferton (1¼m, good to firm) last June. Chance that race will be the main target again but…

High Stock (C)
Rapidly developed into a smart performer as a 3-y-o. Shaped as if better for run when 4½ lengths seventh of 9 to Lambourn in Huxley at Chester (10.3f, good to firm) on reappearance 14 days ago.

Involvement (G)
Showed he retains all his ability back from an absence when winning 9.5f Meydan handicap (good) in March and respectable 1½ lengths third of 7 to Casapueblo in listed race at Longchamp (9f, good) since.

La Botte (C)
Unlucky second in last year's Britannia at Royal Ascot. Eyecatching return to action when fourth in the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton but hasn't confirmed that promise in the Lincoln and 1m Ascot listed event since. Tackles 1¼m for the fi…
