Crack milers set to clash in QEII

BOOKMAKERS are struggling to split Henrythenavigator and Tamayuz as two of the season’s top milers prepare to lock horns in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.

Dual 2000 Guineas hero Henrythenavigator lost some of his invincibility when finishing only fifth in the Prix du Moulin at Longchamp last time, but softer than ideal conditions were blamed for that eclipse.

Freddie Head’s Tamayuz on the other hand has shown top form on varying ground and comes here on top of his game having taken two Group One events on his last two starts.
