Richard Hannon's charge is 2-2 at Ascot, oozing class as a juvenile and winning last year's St James's Palace at this prestigious fixture.

Briefly caught in a pocket, the miler sired by Blue Point found a gap to pick up Henry Longfellow with the winning post in sight.

Sidelined in the second-half of the season, Rosallion flattened out in the closing stages of the Lockinge at Newbury in May, when he finished behind Lead Artist and Dancing Gemini.

The front two had the benefit of a run and back at a track he loves, Hannon's horse is fancied to gain his revenge under Sean Levey.

Six-figure buy AMERICAN GULF (3.05) can remain unbeaten in the Coventry Stakes for Paul Cole and his training partner son Oliver.

Royal Scotsman carried Fitri Hay's silks into third three years ago and their juveniles have collectively performed well here.
