TRUESHAN (3.15, Nap) can shake off a shock first time out defeat to get his Gold Cup challenge under way at Ascot today.

The top stayer endured a frustrating summer last year when firm ground led to him missing Royal Ascot and York but conditions will be ideal in the Group 3 Sagaro Stakes.

On his return to action at Nottingham he was beaten half a length at odds of 4-9 by Rajinsky in a Listed contest.

Trueshan is 2lb better off with the winner this time and the extra two furlongs should be more to his liking on a track where he is unbeaten on all three appearances.

MISCHIEF MAGIC (3.50, Nb), winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint on his last start, trials for the Commonwealth Cup over 6f.

He won three out of five last year and finished fourth in the Middle Park Stakes and the Godolphin colt looks the class act in the Group 3 sprint.

MY PROSPERO (4.25) can step out of former stablemate Baaeed’s shadow when he begins his four-year-old campaign in the Listed Paradise Stakes.

He finished a place in front of Baaeed when third in last year’s Champion Stakes but is equally effective at 1m.
