  • NAP 8.40 Kempton - Ower Fly: 'Returned to form when third at Newmarket last time and is better on the all-weather'
  • NEXT BEST 7.50 Bangor - Ballyandrew: 'The switch to fences should be the making of him'  
  • TREBLE 3.50 Salisbury- Coconut Creme: 'Chased home smart Mori in a Goodwood Listed contest in May and will relish this trip' 

"He is in at York which wouldn't be out of the equation if he scopes clean next week.

"We've also put him in races like the Mill Reef (Newbury) and Champagne at Doncaster."

There should still be British representation in the Prix Morny with Karl Burke's Unfortunately and Molecomb hero Havana Grey.

Fifteen horses have been left in at the latest entry stage, with Charles Hills' Nebo and Mark Johnston's filly Nyaleti other possibles.
