Nine left in Wednesday's Prince Of Wales’s Stakes

The possibility of a clash with Japenese ace A Shin Hikari and the exciting Time Test appears to have scared off some of their possible rivals, with just nine horses remaining in the field for next Wednesday’s Prince of Wales’s Stakes.

The remarkable filly Found remains a possible starter for Aidan O’Brien, despite keeping busy in recent weeks including when second in last Saturday’s Coronation Cup. Stablemate Highland Reel also remains engaged.

My Dream Boat and The Grey Gatsby are both intended starters for Clive Cox and Kevin Ryan respectively, while Hugo Palmer hopes to run Covert Love but has warned that he won’t run on her ground softer than good.
