Ascot Race 2 - Coventry Stakes (Group 2)
Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore have won this event twice from the last three renewals and they can add to that tally with CONFUCIUS (5) who posted a close second on debut over 1000m at Curragh before a comfortable 3.75L victory in a 1200m maiden at Naas a month ago. Leading player. Stablemate GREAT BARRIER REEF (10) arrives unbeaten with a soft ground debut win attempting this journey preceding a 1.25L victory in the 1200m G3 Marble Hill Stakes at Curragh. Big chance. NIGHT IN VEGAS (15) is another two from two gaining a course and distance debut triumph before scoring by 1.25L at Goodwood (1200m). Holds claims. Debuting with a Hamilton 1200m success ROYAL HERITAGE (16) looks interesting.
