MANY of those not professionally involved with runners in the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot will be shouting for the Michael O’Callaghan-trained The Harv if he is in contention at the final stages of the race.

The two-year-old Goodwood debut winner is a son of Ten Sovereigns (No Nay Never), and that sire did not make his juvenile debut until August, but won the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes. A son of No Nay Never (Scat Daddy) did capture the Coventry Stakes, Arizona. What would make it such a special win should The Harv do the business is that he is named in honour of publisher, accountant and all-round good man John Fleming, who died after a tragic accident in late-April.
