Attraction heads Chariot possibles
Mark Johnston’s multiple Group One winner took last year’s race by a neck from Chic. She has recently shown her well-being with a typically gutsy success over the same mare in the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown.
However, should conditions turn soft on the Rowley Mile her participation in the £200,000 feature would be in doubt.
Penkenna Princess is one filly who would appreciate some cut in the ground and she is set to make the line-up if the forecast rain arrives.
The Michael Stoute-trained Chic once again figures among the declarations for the Sun Chariot along with stable companions Peeress and Favourable Terms.
The latter bounced back from injury to score on her return at Doncaster’s St Leger meeting.
Aidan O’Brien has his usually strong hand with 1000 Guineas winner Virginia Waters, a close third in the Matron, and Mona Lisa, who ran well for a long way behind Oratorio in the Irish Champion Stakes, entered in the Group One contest.
Dubai Surprise could make her debut for Godolphin in the one-mile test.
James Fanshawe has opted to leave the progressive Musicanna in the Sun Chariot but he has taken the four-year-old out of the totesport Cambridgeshire.
