Dante entries revealed

Unbeaten Kentucky Derby hope Johannesburg heads an Aidan O`Brien squad of 25 revealed today for the Convergent Communications Dante Stakes.

The Stg£145,000 10-furlong contest at York on May 15th is a traditional trial for the Vodafone Derby and has attracted 95 entries.

As well as Johannesburg, who may reappear at either Lingfield or the Curragh at the weekend, O`Brien`s team also includes Sagitta 2000 Guineas favourite Hawk Wing, and Dewhurst Stakes winner Rock Of Gibraltar, who is owned by Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.

Another trainer to hold a strong hand is Saeed bin Suroor.

He is responsible for 12 Godolphin-owned possibles, including one-time Guineas favourite Dubai Destination, impressive conqueror of Rock Of Gibraltar in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster in September.

Another entrant for the Dubai outfit is Naheef, runaway winner of a trial race at Nad Al Sheba on Tuesday, and who suffered his only defeat of last term at the hands of Hawk Wing.

Sir Michael Stoute`s 10 representatives include the well-touted Right Approach, owned by Her Majesty The Queen, while Henry Cecil`s five at this stage includes Stardom Stakes runner-up, Sparkling Water.
