Aidan O’Brien is responsible for five of the 11 remaining entries for next Saturday's Group 1 Kameko Futurity Trophy at Doncaster. They include ante-post favourite Diego Velazquez, while Godolphin has supplemented recent Newmarket scorer Ancient Wisdom, as expected.

O’Brien has won this race a record 11 times and will be chasing a hat-trick of victories following triumphs for Luxembourg in 2021 and Auguste Rodin last term.

His main hope this season appears to be Diego Velazquez, last seen securing a Group 2 success at Leopardstown in September when seeing off stablemate Capulet, who is another possible Doncaster contender. O’Brien also has Battle Cry, Chief Little Rock and Henry Adams still engaged.

With Ryan Moore suspended next Saturday, O'Brien has booked James Doyle for the ride. Doyle has won two Group 1 races for O'Brien on Warm Heart already this year.

The Charlie Appleby-trained Ancient Wisdom created a big impression when powering just under four lengths clear of Chief Little Rock in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket.

Roger Teal is looking forward to taking on the big guns with Dancing Gemini, who followed up a Newbury maiden win by romping away with the Listed Flying Scotsman Stakes on Town Moor.

“Everything seems spot on with him and it’s all good at this stage,” said the Lambourn trainer. “He was very impressive at Doncaster last time and we’re looking forward to giving it a go.

“I think the mile will suit him, as he certainly wasn’t stopping there over seven furlongs – and when he won at Newbury, he was only just getting going in the closing stages.

“Soft ground obviously wouldn’t be a problem as it was pretty testing up there last month but, looking at the weather forecast, it could well end up heavy and that is always a bit of an unknown.

“But all we can do is roll our sleeves up and get on with it. It’s a good race and something like this is never going to be easy, but we’ll be giving it a real go.”

John and Thady Gosden could be represented by God’s Window, a course and distance maiden winner on soft ground when getting the better of Ben Brookhouse’s Redhot Whisper, who could reoppose.

David Menuisier will bid to follow up Sunway’s Group 1 success in France on Sunday by saddling Devil’s Point and outsider Deira Mile could make his debut for Owen Burrows after being switched from Charlie Johnston.

TRAINER QUOTES

Aidan O’Brien – Battle Cry, Capulet, Chief Little Rock, Diego Valazquez and Henry Adams

“Diego Velazquez looks the main one. We are very happy with him since his last run and James Doyle has been booked for him. We will probably run one other horse in the race and we are looking forward to Saturday's race.”

Ben Brookhouse – Redhot Whisper

“He came out of the race at Doncaster in good order, he seems to take to his racing really well. We aimed him at this race after running very well in his maiden, which was a very expensive maiden and he was beaten by a very smart horse. He was finishing off nicely that day and was giving away three pounds to the eventual winner. His preparation has gone very pleasingly, very straightforward to this point. We think he will see out the trip and will love the ground. We think he is still progressing.”

Charlie Appleby – Ancient Wisdom

“He won the Emirates Autumn Stakes in good style. He appreciated the ground and step-up in trip. He has come out of the race very well and had an easy bit of work at Newmarket on Saturday where he showed his wellness. He has come out of that piece of work in good shape so we were keen to supplement this morning. The ground is looking like it will be soft at Doncaster and I feel like he is going to be a very strong contender. He has obviously done well for the break that he had after Ascot, physically he has done very well from then until now.”

David Menusier – Devil’s Point

“He came out of the race at Saint-Cloud really well, the form of the race was franked in France yesterday in the Group 1 Criterium International. The ground was potentially not quite soft enough for us last time, so I would expect him to improve a few lengths on what he did in the Prix Thomas Bryon Jockey Club de Turquie and he was an unlucky loser in the Solario Stakes at Sandown before that. The horse is top notch and with the softer ground this weekend hopefully he can run a really good race.”
