15:55 Merriebelle Stable Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes (Group 3) (Registered As The Pavilion Stakes)

Race preview

CALYX created a very big impression when beating the subsequent Group winners Advertise and Sergei Prokofiev in the Coventry Stakes over C&D at Royal Ascot last year. The son of Kingman was drawn away from most of his rivals on that occasion and he displayed a really good attitude to pull clear of those drawn on the stands' side rail. The layoff is an obvious concern but most of his rivals are also returning from a break and John Gosden's colt can take this race on his way back to the Royal meeting. Signora Cabello failed to fire on her final start as a juvenile but she has to be respected based on her Queen Mary win and Prix Morny second. Well Done Fox struggled in the US when last seen but could pick up some minor money based on the pick of his form.
