American speedball Lady Aurelia remains firmly on course to bid for further Group One glory in the Coolmore Nunthorpe at York.

Wesley Ward's filly won at Royal Ascot for the second successive year with another astonishing display of raw speed in last month's King's Stand Stakes.

The three-year-old is Sky Bet's 8/11 antepost favourite to follow up on the Knavesmire on August 25 and Ward could not be happier with how his star performer has recovered from her Ascot exertions.

Ward said: "She did some beautiful work on Tuesday, she's got a couple more works to go and we'll be ready.

"She came back from Ascot in unbelievable shape and we're really happy with her.

Caravaggio is reported to be in good order ahead of his attempt to bounce back to winning ways in the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville on Sunday.

Henry Candy feels he ran Limato back too soon in the Lennox Stakes on Tuesday.

The dual Group One winner faded to finish fourth at Goodwood, admittedly beaten only half a length, but Candy felt he failed to finish off his race – 17 days after he claimed second place in the July Cup at Newmarket.

"I think we ran probably a week too soon," the Wantage handler told Racing UK.

"He's always wanted a long time between races in the past and I thought as an old boy now he might be a bit stronger, but he didn't quite see the race out.
