Cockney Rebel, the brilliant winner of the English and Irish 2000 Guineas, heads the eight-strong field for Tuesday's St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Geoff Huffer's colt will be looking to add another Group One success to his impressive CV and tackles several old rivals on the first day of the Royal meeting in what promises to be a mouth-watering clash.

Cockney Rebel is currently trading as the Betfair favourite for the contest, but will face a stiff test in the shape of Peter Chapple-Hyam's Dutch Art, who now re-opposes after finishing third at HQ in the colts Classic.

Aidan O'Brien will send over a typically strong team from Ballydoyle, headed by French 2000 Guineas winner Astronomer Royal.

Meanwhile, Duke Of Marmalade will be looking to fare better after his fourth in both the English and Irish 2000 Guineas.
