Johnny Murtagh may be working for TV at Royal Ascot but his yard remains in rollicking form. Kamili is the stable representative here with top weight but he didn't show anything too special on his first run for the yard since leaving Joseph O'Brien and a watching brief is advised. Queluz is hard to catch right but GUNMAKER (NAP) is one to note. A former David Simcock inmate, he scored first time up for Gavin Cromwell on the all-weather before posting an excellent third at Leopardstown after a break. He's every chance on that form and maybe his latest run came a little too quickly after Leopardstown - he's worth another chance. Artistic Melody is generally most consistent and ran well at Roscommon latest so looks a major threat.
