Richard Pankhurst may return in Hungerford Stakes

Richard Pankhurst features among 24 six-day declarations for Saturday's Betfred Hungerford Stakes at Newbury.

John Gosden's charge was purchased by Godolphin following a stylish win in last year's Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot but hasn't seen a racecourse since. However, he has been the subject of encouraging reports from the Newmarket gallops in recent weeks.

The Dubai team could also be represented in the Group Two contest by Safety Check (Charlie Appleby) and Toormore (Richard Hannon).

The latter has also left Coulsty, Emell, Estidhkaar and Tupi in the race while Ger Lyons is doubly represented by Convergence and Ainippe.

Aidan O'Brien could run his Britannia winner War Envoy and Majestic Mount (Rodolphe Collet) is an intriguing entry from France.

Collet is no stranger to big race success in Britain, having sent out Sahpresa to a hat-trick of wins in the Group One Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket.

The trainer said: "There is a 95 per cent chance Majestic Mount will run at Newbury, although I am not going to make a final decision until Wednesday.

"The horse is well and ran a good race at Longchamp last time. I gave him a good break after he won at Deauville in December and I brought him back over five furlongs just to get him ready for Longchamp as there weren't many options for him.

"The two options for him in France around this time are the Maurice de Gheest and Jacques Les Marois, which both would have been too tough in my opinion.

"The Newbury race looks a better option for him. It is still a Group Two but Majestic Mount is a nice horse and always gives his all. The British style of racing should suit him better and I am told Newbury is a real nice track.

"It will be my first runner there so it will be a good experience for me as well."

Hugo Palmer is happy to put Home Of The Brave back into battle after his emphatic success at the Curragh.

The Newmarket handler reports his classy three-year-old to have taken his victory over proven Group One campaigner Gordon Lord Byron in the Minstrel Stakes in his stride.

"The intention is to run Home Of The Brave in the Hungerford Stakes. He has taken his trip to Ireland remarkably well," said Palmer.

"He is a horse who needs a little bit of time between his races and the one day under four weeks between Ireland and Newbury is perfect for him.

"He is a very clear-winded horse who does not need a vast amount of work in between runs and I am as happy with him now as I was 10 days before Ireland."

Breton Rock is on course to try to repeat last year's victory for trainer David Simcock.

"He's a good horse when he gets his conditions. He's very beatable on ground good or faster. On soft ground he takes a bit of beating," Simcock told At The Races.

Jeremy Nosdea's Sloane Avenue hasn't raced since being touched off in the Godolphin Mile on Dubai World Cup night at Meydan and is another interesting entry along with Adaay and Limato.
