Formscan  - Master trainer Willie Mullins rarely leaves Royal Ascot without a winner and SOBER looks to have been laid out for this unique test following a comfortable success over hurdles at Killarney last month. Formerly with Andre Fabre in France where he landed a pair of Group 2's over staying trips, he may have too much class for most of the opposition. Third in the Copper Horse Stakes earlier in the week, Samui should relish going up in trip and looks the main danger, along with Dallas Star, who has strong claims on his penultimate second to Kyprios at Leopardstown.
