Verdict
Tillerman was slightly disappointing last time out at Newmarket, but the slow pace was all against him that day and should settle better in this bigger field. Despite top weight he is a major player on Ascot form. Atavus was allowed to dictate the pace at Newmarket but may struggle to confirm the form in this more competitive race. Mine won a controversial Bunbury Cup last time out in a first time visor, but the runner-up has failed to frank the form since, and this looks harder. Chookie Heiton's best form is over six furlongs, and a bigger danger is Suggestive, who won well at Haydock last time out and still has scope. By Far is hard to assess, and Definite Guest is one who may run well at a decent price.
