Chigun could have her first start for Lady Cecil in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot on Wednesday.

The four year old ran out a very impressive winner of the Group Three Abu Dhabi Stakes at the Curragh on her most recent outing and could be set to step up in class for the race formerly known as the Windsor Forest Stakes.

Duntle, the winner of the Sandringham at last year's meeting, could represent David Wachman with Caponata the other Irish entry from Dermot Weld's stable.

Alain de Royer Dupre could run last year's Falmouth Stakes winner Giofra although he is still double handed at the five day stage with Group One placed filly Sarkiyla still among the possible runners.

John Gosden sent out Joviality to win the mile contest 12 months ago and the Newmarket handler could rely on last season's Oaks third The Fugue with his other entry, Elusive Kate, set to tackle Animal Kingdom in the Queen Anne.

Thistle Bird, a winner at the Epsom Derby meeting, and Dank are other notable entries.
