Dunaden bids to confirm his middle-distance credentials when he contests the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot on Saturday.
Winner of the Melbourne Cup last year, he went on to land the Hong Kong Vase over 12 furlongs but has yet to make a mark in two starts at that trip this term, finishing third in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket before fellow Hardwicke runner Aiken had him in the same position at Chantilly.

Noble's mission to follow Frankel.

Frankel may have romped home on the opening day of Royal Ascot, but his full-brother Noble Mission faces a tougher task as he raises his sights to Group Two company today.
Like his unbeaten sibling, Noble Mission is trained by Sir Henry Cecil and he steps him up in both quality and distance in the King Edward VII Stakes, a race often referred to as the Ascot Derby.
