War Envoy is Aidan O'Brien's only representative in the Coventry Stakes as the trainer looks to win Tuesday's big Royal Ascot two-year-old event for the third time in four years.

Stablemate The Great War is likely to run instead in the Norfolk Stakes, but after the final declarations there are 15 other horses lining up against War Envoy, who was third in the Listed Rochestown Stakes at Naas last time.

They include the winner of that event, Richard Hannon's Kool Kompany, and his stablemate Dr No, plus a host of other juveniles who have impressed already.

Ryan Moore has been snapped up by David Elsworth for the prolific Justice Good, William Haggas has declared Adaay, who looked smart in beating Mind Of Madness at Yarmouth, while John Quinn's runaway Ayr winner The Wow Signal, a new purchase of Al Shaqab Racing, is also in the mix.

Irish interest is also held by Ger Lyons' triple scorer Cappella Sansevero and Case Statement for Michael O'Callaghan, while other unknown quantities include Kasb, Portamento and Jungle Cat.
