Classic-winning filly Laurens will revert to taking on her own sex in next week's Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket following a below-par display at Royal Ascot.

John Gosden is eyeing Sunday's Qatar Prix Jean Prat at Deauville for Too Darn Hot with the belief the conditions of the race will be ideal for last season's champion two-year-old, The Prix Jean Prat will be run over seven furlongs for the first time this year – having been staged over a mile since 2005 – and Gosden believes the step back in trip will suit the son of Dubawi, who won the Dewhurst at that distance last season

Enable and Magical feature among 8 confirmations for Saturday's Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown Park,

Private Secretary is set for a drop in trip after finishing fourth in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The John Gosden-trained colt had won his previous three races and was strongly fancied to be involved at the business end of the 12-furlong contest.
However, connections felt he failed to see out the distance and races over 10 furlongs will now be sought.
"I think it was the Kingman in his pedigree, he probably just failed to see out the trip," said Richard Evans, racing manager for owners Denford Stud told the Punter.

Charlie Appleby hopes to have unbeaten Group One winner Quorto back from his setback in time for an autumn campaign. Appleby is optimistic that all is currently going to plan for a return this season. "If we can keep meeting the targets we are meeting at the moment then there is a live chance of that happening," he said. "Goodwood would be too soon. I'd say we would be looking at late summer (or) early autumn for him. If we can get a run or two into him as a three-year-old that would be great.

Battaash, and Mabs Cross are all in the mix for the Derrinstown Stud Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh. Also with entries are Ten Sovereigns, Fairyland, Sergi Prokofiev, Hello Youmzain and Invincible Army
