Verdict

Go back far enough and you'll find WAR DEPARTMENT was talked of as Royal Ascot material after his debut win at Leicester in 2015. It's fair to say things haven't quite gone to plan, but he looked back to something like his best when winning with any amount in hand earlier in the week and if turned out again, takes plenty of beating. Swift Emperor should be able to operate well in this class and looks the danger after his eye-catching effort last time and the consistent Testa Rossa can grab some place money again.
