The Freddy Tylicki of sky Sports Racing has analysed the likely candidates to the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot.

The one-mile is really a race in rushing folklore and is one of the principal draws on Qipco Champions Day. The Group 1 competition over the right mile has been especially kind to Saeed bin Suroor that saddles Benbatl for this renewal plus hes won the race on five occasions with Mark Of Esteem (1996), Dubai Millennium (1999), Summoner (2001), Ramonti (2007) and Poets Voice (2010). Aidan OBrien is just one supporting the Godolphin coach with George Washington (2006), Rip Van Winkle (2009), Excelebration (2012) and Minding (2016), and the Ballydoyle genius brings 2000 Guineas winner Magna Grecia for his first run since finishing fifth at the Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh later in May. John Gosden matches OBriens tally in the race, and it has taken the past two runnings using Roaring Lion (2018) and Persuasive (2017) and further down the line enjoyed success using Ravens Pass (2008) and Observatory (2000). Gosden looks to King Of Comedy however he would appear to have a mountain to climb with Benbatl in their running in the Joel Stakes at Newmarket. Freddy Head was yet another to love back-to-back victories with Charm Spirit (2014) and Solow (2015) and the French battle that this time around is at the hands of Francis Graffard who saddles the probable favourite, The Revenant. Benbatl is his trainer and a high-class horse Bin Suroor has a superb record in the race. He had been coming back from nearly a year away when slamming King Of Comedy five spans in the Group two Shadwell Joel Stakes at Newmarket in the end of September and then then he would be a major threat to all contenders, if that form line rings true. He proceeded be beaten only two spans in the Cox Plate and won a Group 1 in Australia dip and he comes a horse that was brand new which may count for something contrary to many whove experienced long and busy seasons. Dubawis son is an excellent horse in his own right, has ridden very favorably and the fear is one of his disappointing performances was as a three-year-old on heavy ground at Haydock. He is lightly-raced and has had three starts that season. He lost his maiden tag in April and conducted a race when beginning at 66-1 and completing runner-up, defeated lengths to Grecia. King Of Change was not seen out again until winning a race over a distance at Sandown in September and is stepping back up in course again. Hes unproven on the floor so it could well suits him, but is Farrh along with a lot of his relish soft earth and he is still habituated. Hes up to 115 but might not be finished when beating Cirrus Des Aigles a throat, and his sire Farrh won the Champions Stakes here. As he has the misfortune to have bumped into Circus Maximus in the St Jamess Palace Stakes and then out time at Newmarket he needed to contend with Benbatl at the Joel Stakes king Of Comedy is just a little bit unlucky. You would be hard pushed to make out a case because of him reversing the placings using Benbatl in this race although he ran the race life span of his life. Another concern is the ground because he was defeated as a two-year-old in Redcar at odds-on in a rookie race and there will be no hiding place in this race. Hes likely a horse who will not find the ground in his favour also gets got it to do. Hes been a star for connections, and he adores the right mile. He went one better in the race June after beating the unlucky The Bank a throat and finished runner-up in 2018 to Accidental Agent at the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes. He was not disgraced in this race last year when finishing sixth to Roaring Lion and that he has no issue with the floor. Lord Glitters might be there or thereabouts again, and this race could have been targeted to get him since he won the Queen Anne. Circus Maximus could have been my thought of the winner when he had stood his ground and also the fact that OBrien relies on Grecia speaks volumes. He seemed like he can take him and seemed a complete tool of a horse in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on his reappearance when beating King Of Change spans that were two-and-a-half. He handled easy floor when beating Phoenix Of Spain a mind at the Group 1 Futurity Stakes at Doncaster past October and even though he has not been seen out since finishing fifth to exactly the same rival in the Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh which wouldnt set you off because he has won first time out a two-year-old and when winning the 2000 Guineas. However, since we have saidn OBrien is a genius and there isnt any better man for getting one ready on the day and theres been lots of support in the market for him. He is if he comes in precisely the identical form and the horse that has to be respected and when he is the one that they all have to beat. He had been brilliant when creating all to conquer Too Darn Hot three lengths at the 2000 Guineas but has fought to achieve that amount of form since. Phoenix conducted a race after anticipated to Circus Maximus and then Too Darn Hot had issues. It was story from the Prix du Moulin at Longchamp in September when he finished fifth to it plus Circus Maximus hard to determine where he is going to locate the kind to come out on top here. He has done nothing but enhance this year after being gelded at the end of his season and has won his four starts. His most impressive performance was out last time at the Group 2 Prix Daniel Wildenstein and that he clearly relished the soft earth. He sent Watch Me to Royal Ascot to win the Coronation Stakes, also his trainer Francis Graffard is an increasing force in early racing and knows the good time of day. He hasnt raced in Group 1 business yet but gave Olmedo in Longchamp to 2lb to a years French 2000 Guineas winner and we know the floor will suit. He seems at the market but theres no denying that hes a horse. The winner for me is now MAGNA GRECIA. He is a miler and won the 2000 Guineas and if hes in that type of form then hell take a beating. I believe with all The Revenant being comparatively short I would take him for win functions. Lord Glitters can be seen by me and The Revenant would must be at the three.
