Mustajeeb among 19 left in Diamond Jubilee Mustajeeb looks the leading European challenger for the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot on Saturday. Dermot Weld's four-year-old won the Jersey Stakes at the meeting 12 months ago and dropped to six furlongs with success first time out this season in the Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh. Aidan O'Brien's Due Diligence was second in the Diamond Jubilee to Slade Power last year but has only run once since - in April, when well beaten. Eddie Lynam won both Group One sprints at the meeting 12 months ago and this year he has added the smart Moviesta to his ranks, a horse who was placed in the Prix de l'Abbaye last season for Bryan Smart. G Force remains engaged but has been declared to run in the King's Stand on Tuesday, Glass Office, winner of the Duke of York Stakes, Tropics and Lucky Kristale, first and second at Windsor recently in a fast time, and the veteran Gordon Lord Byron are all still in the mix. Australian sprinters Brazen Beau and Wandjina are also among the 19 five-day declarations. Brazen Beau was seriously considered for the King's Stand Stakes over five furlongs on the first day of the meeting but a dry forecast means connections have been tempted to wait for the longer race. Wandjina is trained by Gai Waterhouse, who is a formidable force Down Under, but he has had an unusual prep, running behind Adelaide in the Cox Plate over 10 furlongs last year. Ansgar, Astaire, Pearl Secret, Hot Streak, Music Master and Wesley Ward's Undrafted also remain.
