Ascot Race 2 - Queen's Vase (Group 2)
ILLINOIS (4) is the pick of Ryan Moore from the four Aidan O'Brien runners which could be an interesting clue. Boasts plenty of experience without having flashy credentials. Second in the Listed Lingfield Derby Trial and form has since been boosted with the winner placing second in the Epsom Derby. HIGHBURY (3) progressed from a debut third to score by an impressive 7L at Leopardstown. Continues to improve. GROSVENOR SQUARE (2) was third in the G3 Chester Vase Stakes on seasonal reappearance. Not been seen since. May appreciate better ground. BIRDMAN (1) is unbeaten after two starts. Steps up in class with further progression expected. Something for the Multiples: SEE THE GREEN (11)

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, 3rd of 7 at Cork on April 26 over 2400m, slow going 2.75 len behind Birdman carrying 61kg at $4.30. Last start favourite; scored a big 7 len win at Leopardstown May 12 over 2400m defeating Himalayan Heights carrying 61kg at $2.10. Key chance likely to give a big sight.
