Cracksman (GB) (Frankel {GB}) will face a maximum of six rivals as he bids to extend his winning streak to six in Wednesday's G1 Prince Of Wales's S. at Royal Ascot. Anthony Oppenheimer's homebred 4-year-old will be a short priced favourite to take care of the opposition that includes the Sir Michael Stoute trained Poet's Word (GB) (Poet's Voice {GB}) who finished seven lengths behind Cracksman in the G1 QIPCO Champion S. last year. Both Martyn Meade's Eminent (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) and Godolphin's Hawkbill (Kitten's Joy) have been declared but must bounce back from last time out below par efforts to be win contenders. Cliffs Of Moher (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) will represent Aidan O'Brien while completing the line up will be the David Simcock trained Desert Encounter (Ire) (Halling) and Royal Julius (Ire) (Royal Applause {GB}) who will be a first Royal Ascot runner for young French trainer Jerome Reynier.
