Godolphin's Emirates World Series winner Fantastic Light heads a top-class field for the Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot on Wednesday, for which 11 entries remained at yesterday's confirmation stage.
Fantastic Light will carry plenty of confidence as he bids to emulate stable-companion Dubai Millennium, who ran away with the 10-furlong Group One contest 12 months ago.
The five-year-old will again have the services of pacemaker Give The Slip, as he did when winning the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh last month.
John Gosden also has high hopes of Prix d'Ispahan winner Observatory, who won the Jersey Stakes at the meeting last year.
But this looks the race of the week and that pair, together with Breeders' Cup winner Kalanisi are joined by Singapore Airlines International Cup victor Endless Hall to make an intriguing contest.
There are 67 handicappers still left in the Royal Hunt Cup, which carries a safety limit of 32, on the same card.
Connections of Lethals Lady have paid out £20,000 to supplement the filly to the field of the Group One Coronation Stakes on Friday.
Trained in France by Robert Collet, Lethals lady finished a one-and-a-half-length second to Banks Hill in the Prix Sandringham at Chantilly earlier this month.
Nuclear Debate was yesterday the subject of a massive professional gamble with Coral Eurobet for next Friday's King's Stand Stakes, which saw his odds tumble from 5 to 1 to 7 to 2 down to 3 to 1 favourite in the space of just a few hours.
Newmarket trainer Neville Callaghan will have his appeal heard on Monday against the decision by the Jockey Club's disciplinary committee to fine him £1,000 over the running of Port St Charles at Brighton last month.
At the initial racecourse inquiry into the running and riding of Port St Charles in the Thoroughbred Investments Handicap on May 3rd jockey Jimmy Fortune was given a suspension, although Callaghan was not found in breach of the rules.
However, Callaghan was fined after Fortune had his appeal against a ban for his riding of the horse turned down by the disciplinary committee eight days later.
At the hearing the panel instead decided to increase the punishments to include a fine for Callaghan, after finding him in breach of Rule 155 (ii) (failure to give adequate instructions to the jockey) and a 40-day suspension for the horse.
