MAJESTIC MYLES won last year's renewal and looks to have every chance of landing the double. A close-up third in the Criterion Stakes at Newmarket last time, he beat Our Jonathan and Doncaster Rover in this last season and confirmed running with the latter when runner-up at Haydock last month. Royal Rock wasn't disgraced behind Black Caviar at Royal Ascot though he'd prefer a faster surface while C&D winner Imperial Djay will handle any further rain but has a bit to find on today's terms. I Love Me hasn't won since her debut in 2010 but has kept good company since and should have come on for her seasonal reappearance at Ascot last month but the handicappers Solar Spirit and Mortitia look up against it in this company.
