        In depth

        Verdict

        Alpha Romana (rated 100), Sacrifice (102) and Route One (100) are the best of these to have earned official ratings, with preference going to Alpha Romana. He won over course and distance 12 months ago, when the other two mentioned were soundly put in their places. A repeat of that gives him a sound chance. Route One, usually consistent and coming here on the back of a good - if fortunate - Ascot win, could well get closer to him this time.
