1m THE ATALANTA STAKES (CLASS 1) (Group 3) (CL 1)
LAUREL (11) made an impressive 3L winning debut at Newmarket, and it will be no surprise if the striking daughter of Kingman is better than this grade. Stablemate GRANDE DAME (10) sets the standard. Holds strong claims on the back of a comfortable Listed success over course and distance. FONTEYN (9) doesn’t always make life easy for her rider, but if settling better could be in the mix following a brilliant fourth in the G1 Nassau Stakes at Goodwood. The progressive NIZAAKA (3) may place.

7f THE FASIG-TIPTON SOLARIO STAKES (CLASS 1) (Group 3) (CL 1)
DESERT HERO (2) looked a colt of considerable promise when staying on powerfully to take out a 7f Haydock event first up. Sure to improve for that run and is considered representing last year’s winning connections. Fellow debut winner DEFENCE OF FORT (1) created a big impression, scoring by 5L at Ascot. Brings plenty of appeal. SILVER KNOTT (4) recently won at Kempton and is included racing for top connections. Unbeaten WAHAAJ (6) is noted. From a yard whose horses are in excellent form.
