Three Classic winners, the heir apparent to Charyn and the horse who followed him home recently make this season’s Lockinge Stakes unmissable. There are at least five plausible candidates and Rosallion is one of those. He may, however, be vulnerable at a short price. Rosallion proved his brilliance in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James’s Palace last season, but this is his first run since the royal meeting following a respiratory issue.

Hollie Doyle praised Hayley Turner after surpassing her former weighing-room colleague as the winningest female jockey in Britain following her 1,023rd victory on Brindavan at Ascot Racecourse May 10. Doyle, 28, passed 100 winners for the first time in 2019 and reached 1,000 domestic winners in March. She ended that 2019 campaign with 116 winners, passing the previous 100-winner benchmark set in 2008 by Turner, who retired in April alongside announcing she was pregnant.

What's the big story? There will be more Classic clues on offer in the Oaks and Derby trials at Lingfield. Aidan O'Brien has enjoyed a big week of winners and is responsible for the chief players in both races. The Oaks Trial has been moved to the beginning of the card (1.15), with the Listed contest only managing to attract three runners. Giselle, a Curragh winner for Ballydoyle last year, is odds-on to provide O'Brien with a first victory in the race since Seventh Heaven's success in 2016.

Derby trials, Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore just seem to go hand-in-hand these days and another plethora of potentially top-class middle-distance three-year-old colts strutted their stuff for Ballydoyle at Chester this week. Now it is the Lingfield version that is in their sights. O'Brien saddles Puppet Master and Stay True, and the market could not split them before Moore chose to ride Puppet Master.

What's the big story? The Ladbrokes Chester Cup (3.05) is the main event across all three days of Chester's May meeting and this year's event is expected to be another closely fought race. The Roodee showpiece has a field of 16 with the James Owen-trained East India Dock favourite as he returns from a successful hurdling campaign that saw him land two Grade 2s and finish third in the JCB Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham.
