Aidan O'Brien has been "very
happy" with Found ahead of Friday's
Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Ol' Man River bids to get a disappointing
season back on track in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Henry Candy expects fast ground to bring
out the best in Limato in
what is a fascinating inaugural running of the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot.
Charlie Hills confident about the
chances of Muhaarar.
Last season's Gimcrack winner made a
successful reappearance in the Greenham at Newbury and was far from disgraced
when eighth in the French 2000 Guineas from a nightmare draw.
Hills, who also runs outsider Salt Island, said: "Muhaarar is
probably my best chance of the week. He had almost no chance from stall 18 at
Longchamp as he was stuck on the outside and was too keen, but he actually ran
a very good race.
Tiggy Wiggy was runner-up to Anthem Alexander in the Queen Mary 12
months ago before turning the tables in the Lowther at York and the Cheveley Park
Stakes at Newmarket.
She was third in last month's 1000
Guineas and now reverts to sprinting.
Trainer Richard Hannon said: "We
are looking forward to running Tiggy Wiggy in the Commonwealth Cup. This new
race has always been her prime target and, though she ran an absolute blinder
in the 1000 Guineas, it was only her class and courage which enabled her to
finish third.
