CANNOCK CHASE looked in good order in his final breeze ahead of the Huxley Stakes at Chester.
he American-bred colt suffered from knee trouble after landing a Group Three at Royal Ascot in good style last June.
Sir Michael Stoute has adopted the necessary patient policy with Cannock Chase, who was certainly less than totally fit when finishing third to Western Hymn in the Brigadier Stakes at Sandown.
DISEGNO also looked bright in his breeze ahead of Friday's Dee Stakes on the Roodee.
There is a tendency for this fellow to prove idle and that accounts for his trainer's decision to equip him with a visor for this recognised Derby trial.
However, he has never run with cut in the ground, so the underfoot conditions mean he's going into unknown territory.
QUICK DEFENCE put in some eyecatching work on the Al Bahathri Polytrack this morning.
He readily quickened three to four lengths clear of MAKZON, COORG and KISUMU.
DARK DEED is a talented maiden who ran well in defeat against a useful foe at Leicester.
He came out best in another four-horse group, getting the better of STRAVAGANTE, DARSHINI and DISSOLUTION.
