Another at a reasonable each-way price is Zinderbad. He has already won Newbury's John Porter Stakes and the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot for Mark Johnston and appears to be a really tough individual who will love the fast going.
In the latter event, over the course and distance, he finished-ahead of two of tomorrow'srivals, Millenary and High Pitched who, along with Sakhee, may be withdrawn because of the ground.
Grandera will certainly appreciate the conditions and is a worthy susbstitite for Sakhee if Godolphin decide not to run their 'Arc' hero. But Aquarelliste to beat Zindabad and Grandera is my idea of the outcome.
The other big race on tomorrow's Ascot's programme, which continues on Sunday, is the seven-furlong Tote International Stakes, won last year by Atavus. He has considerably more weight to carry this time but could still run his usual game race.
Tillerman, the winner in 2000, also competes, and could be right there at the finish. But the Willie Haggastrained Suggestive (3.10, nb), who caught the eye when beating Approval by three and a half lengths at Haydock, is preferred.
