'There is no denying the phenomenal training that has gone into Rohaan'

Ascot's straight course tends to favour sprinters who are ridden cold. Pendleton, Desert Safari, Punchbowl Flyer and Hey Jonesy are worthy of heading your punting shortlists. Rohaan, the David Evans-trained three-year-old, has a mark of 112 and deserves to head the market. Fresh and Chiefofchiefs are course-and-distance scorers. Charlie Fellowes has plotted his route back here ever since. Tis Marvellous is a group 1 winner. He was beaten three and a quarter lengths by Battaash in the King's Stand last June.

James Fanshawe's runner Fresh finished second in Wednesday's Prince of Wales's Stakes. Heavy rain on Friday did not worry Fanshaude. The draw is a concern for the trainer. Queen's King's Lynn is headed the market. He finished seventh in Tuesday's Group 1 King’s Stand Stake. John Warren, racing and bloodstock adviser to the Queen, said he has never encountered ground like this.

There is a lot of training that has gone into Rohaan. The rain has affected the racing. Jessica Harrington's horse Indigo Balance will love the soft ground. Clive Cox's Tis Marvellous won on soft at Leicester. Adam Ryan's Hey Jonesy came alive at this meeting last year. Charlie Fellowes' Chiefofchiefs will have no problem with the ground, especially over six furlongs. Eve Johnson Houghton's Punchbowl Flyer is in great form.
