WHISTLE AND FLUTE looked potentially useful when making a winning start at Bath 2 weeks ago and hails from a yard that won this race last year with subsequent Royal Ascot winner Chipotle, so he's taken to defy a penalty. Michaela's Boy did well to overcome greenness at Windsor so may emerge as the main threat despite carrying a penalty also.
