| 1 |
J: Charles Bishop
T: Eve Johnson Houghton |
||||
| Sprung a 33/1 shock in this 12 months ago and poised for another big run judged on his encouraging return behind Mustashry in the Lockinge, keeping on well and nearest finish. | |||||

| 2 |
J: James Doyle
T: Charlie Appleby |
||||
| High-class 3-y-o (won the St James's Palace) who proved a dud at stud but has returned in good order, landing the odds in listed race at Longchamp last month. Could be set for a big effort. | |||||

BEAT THE BANK

| 3 |
J: Silvestre De Sousa
T: Andrew Balding |
||||
| Beaten just once in races below Group 1 level, successful in the Sandown Mile on return from Sharja Bridge. Beaten early behind Mustashry at Newbury and will do well to better last year's sixth. | |||||

J: Christophe Soumillon
T: Saeed bin Suroor |
||||
| Thrived in Dubai earlier this year, winning 3 9f turf events in succession (the Group 1 Hatta third occasion). Back to form in France last time but needs a career best to take this. | |||||

| 5 |
J: Frankie Dettori
T: D. K. Weld, Ireland |
||||
| Not had much racing and returned to winning ways back down at 1m in Group 3 at Leopardstown last month, prominent and always holding on. Wouldn't rule out a big effort under Dettori. | |||||

J: Ryan Moore
T: Aidan O'Brien, Ireland |
||||
| Lightly raced since winning the 2017 Jersey here but retains all his ability judged by his excellent run in the Lockinge behind Mustashry, likely to have finished second with more luck. Big player. | |||||

LORD GLITTERS (FR)

| 7 |
J: Daniel Tudhope
T: David O'Meara |
||||
| Beat Mustashry in Group 3 at York last summer and has a good record here, runner-up to Accidental Agent in this 12 months ago. Needs to leave behind a heavy defeat in the Lockinge now. | |||||

MATTERHORN (IRE)

4 9-0 | |||
| 8 |
J: Oisin Murphy
T: Mark Johnston |
||||
| Highly progressive when winning a stunning 7 races in 9 starts on AW from October to Easter, but hasn't looked the same force in 2 starts on turf since. Hard to fancy. | |||||
|
MUSTASHRY

| 9 |
J: Jim Crowley
T: Sir Michael Stoute |
||||
| Just the sort of older high-class performer his trainer excels with and was having just his second go in a Group 1 when seeing off plenty of these in the Lockinge. C&D winner and big run expected. | |||||

MYTHICAL MAGIC (IRE)

| 10 |
J: Kerrin McEvoy
T: Charlie Appleby |
||||
| Further improvement when winning Group 2 Zabeel Mile in Dubai in February (good time), but was well beaten back from 12 weeks off in the Lockinge. Has work to do. | |||||

OLMEDO (FR)

|
4 9-0 | |||
| 11 |
J: Cristian Demuro
T: Jean-Claude Rouget, France |
||||
| Won the French 2000 Guineas last year and ran his best race since when narrowly beaten in Group 2 at Saint-Cloud last month. This is a whole lot tougher on his first start abroad. | |||||
|
ROMANISED (IRE)

| 12 |
J: William James Lee
T: K. J. Condon, Ireland |
||||
| Won the Irish 2000 Guineas last season and ran well behind Mustashry in the Lockinge, another who didn't get much of a clear passage in the closing stages. More needed to turn the tables here, though. | |||||

SHARJA BRIDGE

|
5 9-0 | |||
| 13 |
J: Andrea Atzeni
T: Roger Varian |
||||
| Won the big-field C&D handicap on Champions' Day and returned with victory in listed race at Doncaster. Creditable effort in defeat behind Beat The Bank at Sandown before flopping himself at Newbury. | |||||

6 9-0 | |||
| 14 |
J: Gerald Mosse
T: Ed Walker |
||||
| Has been a money-spinner abroad, landing Group 2 and 3 races in Europe already this season. Ran a mighty race in the QEII here on Champions' Day and could be picking up the pieces late again. | |||||

4 8-11 | |||
| 15 |
J: P. J. McDonald
T: K. R. Burke |
||||
| Enjoyed a mighty 3-y-o campaign, winning 4 Group 1s, her best effort coming in the Sun Chariot. Didn't have the excuses of some others when a fine second to Mustashry in the Lockinge on return. | |||||

J: Pierre-Charles Boudot
T: William Haggas |
||||
| Won the Group 1 Foret at Longchamp in October and should have come on for her return at the Curragh last month. Has plenty on her plate to feature in this, though. | |||||

The race is the curtain raiser on day one of Royal Ascot, and has been won by some of the best horses in recent years, most notably Goldikova, Canford Cliffs and Frankel to name but a few.
Established in 1840, during the early part of its history it was called The Trial Stakes, and was originally open to horses aged three years and older. Then in 1930, the race was renamed the Queen Anne Stakes, in honour of Queen Anne, the founder of Ascot Racecourse.
The race was upgraded to a Group 2 event in 1984, and then in 2003, it was given Group 1 status. It was Dubai Destination that won the first running as a Group 1 contest under Frankie Dettori.
It was also in the Queen Anne that Frankel put up his career-defining performance, his 11-length demolition of Excelebration in 2012 earning him a performance rating of 147, earning the highest Flat rating of any horse in Timeform’s history, surpassing Sea-Bird’s 1965 Arc rating by 2 lb.
Sir Gordon Richards, who was 21 when he won his first Queen Anne and 48 when he claimed his last, is one of the leading riders in the race with a total of six wins. That has since been matched by Frankie Dettori, who also keeps coming back for more, winning his first at 19 years of age and his last – to date – in 2007, at 36.
