One trainer

It is an important weekend for John Gosden and his Prix du Jockey Club scorer Mishriff will bid to start it with a bang in the Group 2 Prix Guillaume D'Ornano (1.35) at Deauville.

Over in Britain, the champion trainer has a number of potentially high-class recruits to represent him including Guru in the Listed Denford Stakes (1.50) at Newbury and Senita in a novice contest (1.40) at Doncaster.

One jockey

The all-conquering Hollie Doyle has made huge progress this season and is booked for her first Group 1 ride on Dame Malliot in the Preis von Europa (12.00) at Cologne.

Having partnered Anthony Oppenheimer's imposing mare to success in the Group 2 Princess of Wales's Tattersalls Stakes at Newmarket, the pair step up in a bid to give retiring trainer Ed Vaughan a first success at the top level. Among their six rivals is the Charlie Appleby-trained Barney Roy, a Group 1 winner in Germany last time.

One horse

Dream Of Dreams holds the best form in the Unibet Hungerford Stakes (3.35) at Newbury having finished a head behind both Blue Point and Hello Youmzain in the last two runnings of the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot. He beat the reopposing Glorious Journey in a Listed contest at Windsor last year and, on his best efforts, should be a tough nut to crack.

One race

The Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Geoffrey Freer Stakes (3.00) looks a particularly competitive affair with Royal Ascot hero Hukum stepping up to Group company for the first time.

Derby runner Max Vega takes a step down in class in a bid to add to last year's Zetland Stakes success, while the likes of Sextant, Morando, Communique and Tritonic are very useful types in their own right.
