Minding (Aidan O'Brien) also features among 31 fillies and mares going forward for the Group One Qatar Nassau Stakes, staged over nearly 10 furlongs on the fifth and final day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival, Saturday, July 30.

Also under consideration for the richest race of its kind in Europe at £600,000 are Minding's stablemate Even Song, successful in the Group Two Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot, and Arabian Queen (David Elsworth), one of only two horses to defeat the great Golden Horn when successful in the Juddmonte International at York last season.

French interest could be provided by Jemayel (Jean Claude Rouget). The Al Shaqab Racing-owned three-year-old won the Group One Prix Saint-Alary at Deauville in May before finishing an unlucky ninth when beaten under four lengths in the Prix de Diane.
