Royal Ascot on Thesecretadversary's agenda

Fozzy Stack is eyeing a couple of Royal Ascot options for Thesecretadversary after he finished sixth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh.

The St Mark's Basilica colt didn't have the clearest route at Headquarters and that followed a fifth place in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket.

The trainer said: "He's in the St James's Palace and we will probably give him an entry in the Jersey, so we will see what way they split up nearer the time.

"The Jersey could suit him, but he has a 3lb penalty in it. It is not easy winning in Ascot.

"It has (been frustrating), but he's a horse we can go to war with."

Thesecretadversary won at Listed level in Tipperary last season and bagged a Group 3 at Leopardstown on seasonal reappearance in April.
