John Oxx will choose between two very smart engagements later this month for Little White Cloud.

The striking grey, who is related to many of the useful stayers associated with his owner-breeder Neil Jones, has been unfortunate to meet several of Aidan O'Brien's better horses this term.

He finished three lengths behind Derby fourth Battle Of Marengo in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown and was then second to potential future star Leading Light in the Gallinule Stakes back at the Curragh.

"He ran a good race last time, he had probably improved quite a bit there, and we'll see how we go," said Oxx.

"He's in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot and still has an entry in the Irish Derby as well. I think we'd have to see how many of the Epsom horses looked like they were going there before we made a decision."
