Confirmed runners and riders for the Nassau Stakes and Galway Hurdle

Prix de Diane winner Nashwa will bid for back-to-back Group 1 wins after she was declared in a field of nine for Thursday's Qatar Nassau Stakes (3.35) at Goodwood.

The John and Thady Gosden-trained mount of Hollie Doyle is 4-7 with bookmakers to add to her Group 1 haul, with the William Haggas-trained Lilac Road an 11-2 shot and Ed Walker's Prix d'Ispahan winner Dreamloper available at 14-1.

The two absentees at the final declaration stage were My Astra and History, meaning Ryan Moore partners 16-1 chance Concert Hall for Aidan O'Brien. Frankie Dettori has been booked by Johnny Murtagh to partner outsider One For Bobby.

Hoo Ya Mal will attempt to do his bit to bolster the Derby form in the John Pearce Racing Gordon Stakes (3.00). With Desert Crown absent since Epsom, and Westover winning the Irish Derby and then flopping in Saturday's King George, the horse who finished between them will bid to go one better for new guardian George Boughey.

He has been bought to race in Australia eventually, and Charlie Appleby used the Gordon Stakes as a path to Melbourne Cup success with Cross Counter in 2018. This year Appleby relies on July festival winner New London, while Hoo Ya Mal's previous trainer Andrew Balding saddles his other Derby runner, fourth-placed finisher Masekela, in a field of ten.

The Group 2 Richmond Stakes (2.25) has attracted nine runners, with Coventry third Royal Scotsman, Newbury Listed winner Chateau, Norfolk third Crispy Cat and Woodcote winner Legend Of Xanadu among those out to add their name to the honour roll.

In Thursday's other feature, the Guinness Galway Hurdle (5.05), Willie Mullins has pulled out the well-fancied trio of Echoes In Rain, Hors Piste and Tax For Max.

The Mullins-trained Adamantly Chosen heads the betting for the €270,000 2m hurdle, with Echoes In Rain's withdrawal meaning the weights go up 6lb and are now headed by Ballyadam, Felix Desjy and Santa Rossa.

Glan is the last horse guaranteed a run with Prairie Dancer listed as the first reserve and followed in the pecking order by Rich Belief and Hearts Are Trumps.
