Timeform run the rule over the field for the Princess of Wales' Blue Square Stakes...

Duncan posted an excellent effort in the Coronation Cup last time and can gain his first pattern victory here. All The Aces looks his biggest danger, with the lightly-raced Alwaary looking an intriguing outsider in receipt of almost a stone all-round.

All The Aces has continued on the upgrade this season, winning a twelve furlong listed race in good style over course and distance last time. He'll go on improving and looks sure to pick up a pattern race or two.

Campanologist is a consistent performer who ran as well as ever behind Bronze Cannon in the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot. He wouldn't want any more rain but is sure to give another good account if he gets his ground.

Doctor Fremantle was last year's Derby fourth whose tendency to pull hard is becoming a concern, ruining his chance in the Hardwicke last time. He has work to do to reverse the placing's with a couple in front of him that day.

Drumfire is a tough sort, and is consistent in the main. He finished well on his first try at twelve furlongs in a listed race at Pontefract last time but improvement is needed if he's to make his mark at this level.

Duncan is a lightly-raced colt who hasn't looked back since joining this yard, winning twice and improving again behind Ask in last month's Coronation Cup. He bypassed a Royal Ascot engagement for this and is respected.

Enroller made good progress in 2008, winning twice, and was better than ever when landing a twelve furlong Group Three at Newbury on his return. He put in a respectable effort next time in the Hardwicke but may need it softer here.

Indian Days made good strides in handicaps at around this trip as a three-year-old, winning twice, but has been found wanting a few times at this level and is difficult to fancy.

Schiaparelli was prolific across Europe in 2007, winning four pattern races in a row (twelve furlong Group One's final three occasions). He has been lightly raced since, though he does go well fresh, so it would be foolish to discount him on this latest comeback.

Alwaary is progressing with each start, running out impressive winner of an eleven furlong listed race at Goodwood last time. He gets a big weight allowance and looks the dark horse of the race which his trainer won in 2008.
