Breton Rock goes for Park prize again

Last year's winner Breton Rock is among a list of 12 horses left in Saturday's Alan Wood Plumbing And Heating Park Stakes at Doncaster following the five-day confirmation stage.

The David Simcock-trained seven-year-old showed he was still a force to be reckoned with, especially on soft ground, when springing a 50-1 shock in the Lennox Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

Hugo Palmer's Home Of The Brave, beaten half-a-length in second place that day, is in the provisional list.

Four remaining from the Aidan O'Brien stable are Cougar Mountain, Spirit Of Valor, Peace Envoy and Whitecliffsofdover.

Completing the dozen are Aclaim, Viscount Barfield, Lahore, Nathra, Second Thought and Sir Dancealot.

Dream goes for Champagne

Dream Today, who made a big impression when winning on his debut at York, is among 12 five-day confirmations for the Howcroft Industrial Supplies Champagne Stakes at Doncaster on Saturday.

The Mark Johnston-trained colt could step straight into Group Two company after a convincing performance in the Convivial Stakes, Britain's richest maiden.

Johnston has won the Champagne twice, with Lucky Story in 2003 and McCartney in 2007. That is one more than Aidan O'Brien whose sole success so far came with Westphalia.

The Ballydoyle trainer has three possibles in Mendelssohn, Seahenge and US Navy Flag, a six-length winner of the Group Round Tower Stakes, while his son Joseph has left in Medal Of Honour.

James Tate's Hey Gaman, game winner of the Listed Denford Stakes at Newbury, has stood his ground.

Godolphin rely on the Charlie Appleby-trained Mythical Magic, who took his unbeaten record to two in the Prix Francois Boutin at Deauville last month.

Completing the list are Grand Koonta, Island Sound, Petrus, Red Mist and Westerland.
