Caviar set for Royal assignment as Diamond Jubilee field is revealed

Australian superstar Black Caviar will face 14 rivals when she puts her unbeaten record on the line in Saturday's Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The six-year-old, who has been drawn in stall 15 of 15, will be long odds-on to extend her unbeaten record in this weekend's feature event over six furlongs.

Second in the betting is another mare, Freddie Head's French raider Moonlight Cloud. She made a winning return to action in a Longchamp Group Three earlier this month, but has proven form at the highest level.

The same comment applies to the James Fanshawe-trained Society Rock, winner of this Group One prize 12 months ago and a perfectly respectable third in the Duke of York Stakes on his seasonal reappearance.

Krypton Factor must be considered a major contender for Bahrain trainer Fawzi Nass following a successful campaign in Dubai earlier this year. The fourth foreign challenger is Restiadargent.

Hughie Morrison runs Haydock winner Pastoral Player, while others hoping to pick up prize-money include Hitchens, The Cheka and Genki.
