Royal Ascot Grand Slam.
1 horse not currently in any string to be submitted by close of play Sunday 16 June

Connections of Commonwealth Cup candidate Vandeek retain massive faith in last year’s leading British-based juvenile and believe he has thrived since losing his unbeaten record at Haydock last month.
Trained by Simon and Ed Crisford, the dual Group 1 winner was 8-11 to register his fifth straight victory in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes on his reappearance but weakened from the furlong pole under James Doyle to finish four lengths third to Inisherin.

Impressive Chester winner Passenger will miss the Prince of Wales's Stakes, leaving Auguste Rodin as the new 7-4 favourite for Royal Ascot's joint-richest prize.The Sir Michael Stoute-trained son of Ulysses had been a general 2-1 market leader for the £1 million day two feature, but is now more likely to appear in next month's Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown.

The Niarchos family's racing manager Alan Cooper told the Racing Post: "Passenger is being treated for an infection and the veterinary advice is that Ascot will come too soon. The timing is far from ideal but, all being well, I think we'll be looking at the Eclipse."

Nashwa is expected to be back for an autumn campaign after taking her time to recover from the rigours of a first trip to Dubai in March. The daughter of Frankel misses Royal Ascot and is not expected to be ready to defend her Group 1 Falmouth Stakes crown she won so decisively on the July course at Newmarket a year ago. Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to Nashwa's owner Imad Al Sagar, said: “Nashwa has taken a bit longer to recover from her trip to Dubai in March. We expect to get her back in the second half of the season but there are no immediate targets for her at the moment.“
