Value leads foreign raid on Diamond Jubilee

Overseas challengers The Right Man and Long On Value are on course for an exciting rematch in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot 2017.

The pair were separated by just a nose in the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan last time and the winner that day, The Right Man, will be bidding for a second victory of a necessary three Global Sprint Challenge wins required to win the $1-million bonus.

Long On Value, on the other hand, represents US Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott, most famous for his handling of the incomparable Cigar, and looks set to be a first runner at the meeting for his legendary handler.

He said: "Long On Value travelled very well from Dubai and is back in training. We haven't given him a breeze yet, but he is cantering. He looks like he held his weight well and seems to be doing good after his trip.

"He has been nominated for the Diamond Jubilee Stakes and it is very exciting as I have never been to Royal Ascot before.

"Long On Value has held his form for a long time and has been a very useful horse. He is an interesting horse as he has won at multiple distances - from five furlongs to nine furlongs. He has done all his winning in decent company and some of his very best performances have come at sprint distances.

"We are excited just to be able to participate."

Ireland's champion trainer Aidan O'Brien has US import Acapulco, who captured the 2015 G2 Queen Mary Stakes when trained by Wesley Ward, among his three entries, while the home challenge includes 2016 Commonwealth Cup heroine Quiet Reflection (Karl Burke) and the popular Limato (Henry Candy).
