Racing Post verdict
Third-partyConfucius arrives at Ascot having made rapid progress through his two Irish starts — a desperately unlucky narrow defeat on his first outing gave way to an emphatic victory over the extra furlong at Naas, and the step up to six furlongs clearly suits him well. His sire's progeny tend to relish fast ground and a high draw on this stiff straight track looks a positive, with the stable's impressive record in this type of contest adding further confidence. Stablemate Great Barrier Reef, unbeaten and impressive on his last start, is the most credible threat, while the classy Cut A Dash — who showed a sharp turn of foot on debut at York — and Adaay Of Scarlett give the home-trained contingent a genuine chance. Confucius, though provisional, heads the assessments and with the stable's first jockey in the saddle, he is the pick. **SELECTION: Confucius**
Racing Post pick: Confucius
