Last year’s winner Rakti heads 53 entries for the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Newmarket next month.

The six-year-old will bid to become the first horse since Rose Bowl (1975-76) to record back-to-back victories in the Group One feature over a mile, which has been moved this season because of major redevelopment work at Ascot.
