Coventry Stakes (Group 2)

Zipping around the tight bends of Chester is a world away from the straight track at Ascot, but it's all been straightforward for him there on the Roodee and he had little difficulty in defying a penalty last time, despite a wide enough draw; he's not the biggest, but the booking of Colin Keane is a statement of intent; The Wow Signal won out of stall 1 in 2014.

Oisin Murphy is 4-13 when combining with the Coles and that includes this colt's impressive debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm), where he had the pace to be handy before skipping clear when it mattered; two weeks is a quick turnaround but he has lots of upside and is dangerous to dismiss; the stable knows what's required, having captured this race three times during the 1990s.

Has travelled strongly in both his races at the Curragh (6f, good), winning with a swagger on debut and then holding his own in the Marble Hill when hot on the heels of Power Blue as both conceded late on to the now sidelined Albert Einstein (who had been favourite for this); trainer has since reported that he endured a hold-up prior to that Group 3, so improvement seems likely; shortlisted without hesitation.

260,000euros yearling; debut winners from this yard usually turn out smart and he won at York (5f, good to firm) where he was niggled at from some way out but came home with purpose; those he beat might be destined for nurseries but he's a promising colt who should stay 6f and some more.

Beat two fellow outsiders when the 25-1 winner of a 5f AW maiden at Wolverhampton and the third was comfortably held last week at Lingfield; unlikely to be good enough, even if he does cope with the 6f and different surface.
