Ascot Race 2 - Queen's Vase (Group 2)
SHACKLETON (10) Not competitive when 4th last run at Curragh but goes down in grade. Won't be far away during the run. Showing consistent performance in races. Stepping up in distance. Respect against this field. SCANDINAVIA (9) Ran away with a win by a margin of 3 1/4L last start at Navan and good career start. Racing over extra ground. Matched against a stronger field. Has the ability to take this out. CARMERS (3) Gave them a lesson when winning by 3L last run at Navan and up against weaker rivals. Has hit top form this campaign with 2 wins from 2 starts. Looks promising in this race. ASMARANI (2) Looked good when 2nd last run at Longchamp and good career start. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this campaign but rising in grade. Likely to fill a place.
