The Queen Elizabeth II Stakes odds for this weeks big feature at Ascot has the Aidan O'Brien trained Rip Van Winkle as favourite and to record his second Group One win of the season. Rip Van Winkle is currently a best price of 10/11 with VC Bet and he is a few points clear in the market of the next best Delegator who is around 2/1 but can still be backed at 9/4 also with VC Bet
The tow three year olds met of course back inj May in the 2000 Guineas where Delegator was second to the brilliant Sea The Stars, while Rip Van Winkle could only manage 4th. However it is thought by most racing plaudits that Rip Van Winkle has improved the most and after he hosed up in the Gp1 Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood it is little wonder why. In fairness Delegator also looked impressive last time out winning the Celebration Mile, but that was at Gp 2 level and he will need to improve on that if he is to win this.

O'Brien is also likely to run Mastercraftsman, who is a great trier if nothing else. He was behind both Delegator and Rip Van Winkle in the Guineas but got the better of Delegator in the Gp 1 St James Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. Mastercraftsman is 7/1 with a run with Bet365.
The William Haggas trained Aqlaam is a very interesting runner who won the Gp 1 Prix Du Moulin last time out at Longchamp, beating Famous Name and Virtual in the process. Three weeks before that he ran the brilliant Goldikova to 6 lengths in a Gp 1 at Deauville. Aqlaam is best priced at 5/1 with Paddy Power
10/11 Rip Van Winkle, bet now with VC Bet, 2/1 Delegator, Bet now with VC Bet, 5/1 Aqlaam, Bet now with Paddy Power, 7/1 Mastercraftsman bet now with Totesport , 16/1 Bar
