William Haggas' superstar Baaeed was among 10 left for the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot on Tuesday following the confirmation stage.

The unbeaten colt was imperious in the Lockinge and appears to have frightened off plenty of opposition.

Haggas could also run Aldaary, who was hugely impressive in Listed company on his return last month.

Real World, second in the Lockinge, may take on Baaeed once more for Saeed bin Suroor after he returned to form back on turf, while the third, Chindit, has been left in by Richard Hannon.

Sir Michael Stoute's five-year-old mare Lights On and Aidan O'Brien's Mother Earth, last year's 1000 Guineas winner, represent the fairer sex.

In the St James's Palace Stakes Charlie Appleby's 2000 Guineas winner Coroebus sets the standard.
