Camelot cut again for Derby double.

Camelot continues to shorten ahead of the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh on Saturday.

The Investec Derby hero could even go off at a price resembling that of two superstars from Royal Ascot, according to Paddy Power, who price him up at 1-4 favourite from 2-7.

The bookmaker said: "There's been bits and pieces of cash for Camelot today and it's looking more and more likely that he could match Black Caviar or even Frankel's Royal Ascot starting prices on Saturday."
Goodwood on Saddler's radar.

A trip to Glorious Goodwood is on the cards for Saddler's Rock following his excellent run in defeat in Thursday's Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.

The John Oxx-trained four-year-old pulled fiercely in the early stages of the two-and-a-half-mile feature, but still finished third behind Godolphin duo Colour Vision and Opinion Poll.

Oxx feels the result may have been even better with a strong pace from the outset, and is looking forward to a possible assault at the Goodwood Cup on August 2.
Most Improved given Sussex option.

Most Improved could be supplemented for the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood after his striking win at Royal Ascot.

The Brian Meehan-trained colt was a major ante-post gamble for the 2000 Guineas, but a setback before his proposed comeback in the Craven Stakes forced him to miss the Classic. He then travelled to Chantilly for the French Derby but met plenty of trouble in running and lost both of his front shoes.
