O'BRIEN AND MOORE TAKE TOP TRAINER AND JOCKEY TITLESDiamond Jubilee Stakes 2016: Five international raiders in entry of 18
Posted in: Royal Ascot News
Wesley's Ward's six-year-old saw off the attentions of the Australian speedball Brazen Beau to land the 2015 renewal and faces another live challenger from Down Under this year, with the Godolphin-owned Holler set to take his chance for John O'Shea.
Undrafted is joined on the trip from America by Breeders' Cup winner Mongolian Saturday, while Gold-Fun arguably has the best form credentials of any of the overseas raiders, having banged head with the likes of Chautauqua and Peniaphobia in Hong Kong.
Magical Memory heads the home challenge on the back of a comfortable success in the Group 2 Duke of York Stakes last month, a race in which Twilight Son could only manage fifth. That rival is expected to reduce the deficit with that outing under his belt, though, while the likes of Dick Whittington, Mattmu, Moviesta, Suedois and Tupi will also attempt to get the better of their Knavesmire conqueror here.
Limato and Sole Power will both be hoping the ground dries up having turned down Tuesday engagements due to the testing conditions, although both look set to face a tough task against likely favourite, The Tin Man, who returned with an impressive victory in a listed race at Windsor.
Home of The Brave, Strath Burn and Jungle Cat are others of note in an intriguing field.
