Mr Dinos will relish the step up in trip at Royal Ascot today and is taken to land back-to-back victories in the Gold Cup.
Everything points to Paul Cole's charge and, after his runaway success in the Group One contest 12 months ago, he looks the banker of the meeting.
The five-year-old scored by six lengths last year under a brilliant ride from champion jockey Kieren Fallon, who is on board again today.
Cole's charge has not got his head in front since that victory, but he ran a blinder behind Papineau in the Henry II Stakes last time when trying to give 7lb to the progressive winner, who reopposes tomorrow - but off level weights.
Mr Dinos should come back to his very best over this two and a half miles and, with the fast ground ideal, is napped to once again prove himself the champion stayer.
Blue Dakota has not put a foot wrong in three starts and should be able to sweep to victory in the Norfolk Stakes.
Jeremy Noseda had no hesitation in nominating this five-furlong contest as the two-year-old's target after he romped to a five-length success on his racecourse debut at Newmarket's Craven meeting.
The Namid colt has not done anything since to dissuade his handler from sending him for the Group Three contest and, after posting another two impressive wins, can make it four out of four tomorrow.
Sahool and Islington's full-sister New Morning both look to have sound claims in the Ribblesdale Stakes, but they may have to settle for minor honours behind Punctilious. The mount of Frankie Dettori was an easy winner of the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes before going on to run third in the Vodafone Oaks behind the impressive Ouija Board. Connections felt that the Danehill filly did not handle the unique contours of Epsom and the flatter Berkshire course should be much more to her liking.
Crocodile Dundee has always been thereabouts in his races and put up a lifetime best on his most recent outing when beaten a head in the Letheby & Christopher Predominate Stakes at Goodwood. The three-year-old pulled clear of the third-placed Red Lancer on that occasion and he is worth chancing in the Hampton Court Stakes.
