Big-race rider Luke Nolen is confident Australian superstar Black Caviar will not be inconvenienced by the prospect of soft ground in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Ascot on Saturday week.
The unbeaten mare arrived in Britain last Thursday and stands on the verge of her 22nd straight victory, with all but three of her wins having come under Nolen, who has experience of the Berkshire track riding in the Shergar Cup.

Peter Moody is likely to crank Black Caviar's Royal Ascot preparations up a notch with a more serious piece of work in Newmarket this weekend.
The unbeaten Australian superstar arrived in Britain last Thursday ahead of her tilt at the Diamond Jubilee Stakes, and has only been spotted doing light exercise on the gallops as Moody had ensured she was fighting fit before she left home soil.

Richard Fahey's Gabrial and the Francois Rohaut-trained French 2000 Guineas winner Lucayan have been supplemented for the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot on Tuesday.
Their addition to the Group One contest for three-year-old colts brings the number of horses for the mile feature to 22 at the confirmation stage.
Power, winner of the Irish 2000 Guineas, heads Aidan O'Brien's six remaining entries and is joined by Daddy Longlegs, Reply, Requisition, Vault and Wrote. The Bryan Smart-trained Foxtrot Romeo, runner-up to Power in the Curragh Classic, is also expected to take his chance.

Frankel features among 12 possibles for the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot on Tuesday and is long odds-on to win.
Sir Henry Cecil's brilliant colt has swept aside everything put before him in his career to date, and seeks to take his unbeaten run to 11 in the Group One over the straight mile that brings the curtain up on the five-day meeting.
