Anmaat can reverse Curragh form with Los Angeles in the Prince of Wales's Stakes, the highlight on day two of Royal Ascot on Wednesday.
Owen Burrows' charge is now a seven-year-old but rather than his powers waning, the Awtaad gelding only seems to be getting better.
Having made his racecourse bow at the back end of 2020 - when he was second to no less than multiple Group One scorer Rebel's Romance - Anmaat was viewed as handicap material at three, ending his campaign by finishing second in the Cambridgeshire from a mark of 98.
Three runs in 2022 yielded three wins, including his first two Group-race strikes and it looked as though 2023 was going to be a big year when he scored an initial Group One success in the Prix d'Ispahan.
Injury intervened though and he was off the track for 439 days before returning with a win at Haydock, which quickly escalated into a shock 40-1 success in the Champion Stakes to round off the year.
He was much shorter odds on his return last month in the Tattersalls Gold Cup and while he could not fend off the charge of Los Angeles at the line, going down by half a length, Burrows was anticipating a world of improvement for the run and given he did not enjoy an ideal passage, it all bodes well for this assignment.
One Look is the pick in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes after a fine effort in defeat last time out.
Up against Porta Fortuna, One Look had no answer to the Group One winner's change of gear, but she rallied strongly to be beaten half a length at the line in a race that possibly did not play to her strengths.
Already a Group Three scorer this term, One Look can move up a notch for trainer Paddy Twomey.
Shackleton can make it back-to-back victories for Aidan O'Brien in the Queen's Vase.
Illinois landed the 2800m contest 12 months ago on the back of defeat in a Derby trial and Shackleton was also eclipsed in his Classic trial, coming home fourth in the Gallinule.
He should improve plenty for that run in what was a very messy race, with the first past the post demoted to third after all of the five runners got pretty tight at one stage or another.
Spicy Marg can go well at a decent price for Michael Bell in the Queen Mary Stakes.
She really impressed on her Newmarket debut, landing a novice contest with ease by just under three lengths and looking pretty professional in the process.
It is over two years now since Hi Royal's glory days of placing in both the British and Irish 2000 Guineas but given he has now dropped to a mark of 102, he merits close attention in the Royal Hunt Cup.
His form tailed off after those highs but after a lacklustre 2024, he showed signs of a renaissance when second in the Thirsk Hunt Cup last month and could have found his level now.
Arisaig ran well recently over course and distance and is the pick in the Kensington Palace Stakes, while Gaga Mate can build on an initial win for Dylan Cunha as he lines up for new trainer George Scott in the Windsor Castle Stakes. - Press Association
