Shane’s Spirit is our selection at Ascot, and the case rests on his fitness edge and a more solid book of form than the top-rated Lord Churchill, who is only five pounds better on our figures. That gap is small enough for sharpness and reliability to overturn it over this two miles on good ground. Lord Churchill is the chief danger on raw ability, while Saint Argente, two pounds behind our pick, also commands respect, and the six unrated runners add some uncertainty to a nine-runner Class 2. Shane’s Spirit gets the nod, though only on a low-confidence basis.
