Confirmed runners and riders for Doncaster's Group 1 Futurity Trophy on Saturday

Wimbledon Hawkeye will face seven rivals in Saturday's Group 1 Futurity Trophy (2.40) at Doncaster, with chief market opposition Hotazhell, Delacroix and Detain also declared for Britain's final top-level contest of the season.

Trained by James Owen, Wimbledon Hawkeye is a general 7-2 shot for the mile contest after recording an impressive victory in the Group 2 Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket last month. It was his second career victory and the son of Kameko has yet to finish outside the first four.

The Jessica Harrington-trained Hotazhell also brings Group 2-winning form into the contest after scoring in the Beresford Stakes, while Aidan O'Brien, who bids for a record-extending 12th success of the race, is responsible for Delacroix, who was last seen landing the Group 3 Autumn Stakes.

Last year's winning trainer, Charlie Appleby, will saddle Anno Domini, who returns from a break after scoring at Sandown in July.

Detain will attempt to extend his perfect record for John and Thady Gosden, with the Juddmonte-owned juvenile impressing in both victories on the all-weather at Kempton.

Stablemate Nebras, who was supplemented for £17,500 earlier this week, will feature alongside Royal Playwright and Seaplane, but the well fancied Matauri Bay was an absentee for Ralph Beckett.

Strong field for Cheltenham feature

Broadway Boy will return for Nigel Twiston-Davies in the 3m1f handicap chase (2.20) at Cheltenham, with a field of 14 confirmed for the feature on day two of the Showcase meeting.

The six-year-old was last seen finishing fifth of six behind Inothewayurthinkin in an Aintree Grade 1 in April. He won three of his six starts for connections last term, including when running out a 20-length winner at Cheltenham in November.

Le Milos, winner of the 2022 Coral Gold Cup, will represent Dan Skelton, while Henry de Bromhead is doubly represented with Senior Chief and The Short Go.
