Racing: Paul Nicholls has confirmed Ruby Walsh will ride Oslot in the William Hill Galway Plate next Wednesday.
Currently 7-1 favourite with the sponsors William Hill, Oslot will be joined in the race by stablemate Hoo La Baloo, who will have 5lb claimer Nick Scholfield in the saddle.
"Both horses are in great form at the moment, and both look like they have very good chances in the race," said Nicholls.
"Oslot is a really progressive horse and I think he'll give Ruby a very nice ride in the race, while Nick's 5lb claim on Hoo La Baloo could make a huge difference when it comes to the end of the race."
Oumeyade is the only one of Nicholls' original entries to miss the race following his disappointing showing in last weekend's Summer Plate at Market Rasen.
Nicholls added: "Oumeyade is a definite non-runner. He didn't really sparkle in the Summer Plate and Galway probably comes a bit soon for him."
Meanwhile Aidan O'Brien said he can't be sure Duke Of Marmalade will stay the extra distance of the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.
The 10-11 favourite with Coral goes into the race on the back of three Group One wins already this season after victories in the Prix Ganay, Tattersalls Gold Cup and an imperious performance in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes. But in 12 career starts he has yet to race over a mile and a half.
"There's loads of races for him after this and we always take one race at a time, but this is his first time over a mile and a half and we don't really know what is going to happen when he goes past a mile and a quarter, it's going to be interesting," said O'Brien.
"I'm happy with him and everything has been good since Ascot. At two he injured his shin at Goodwood and he had to get a couple of screws and a plate inserted. We found that they were bothering him, but we got it sorted over the winter and he has been a different horse this year.
"We were happy with him going into the Ganay, his work was very good and we knew what he was able to do last year carrying an injury. It was the same story in the Tattersalls Gold Cup, he came forward again and won nicely.
"All any horse can do is win those Group Ones, some horses shy away from them. He didn't do a lot when he hit the front at Ascot, but we were delighted with him.
The decision to run a horse with a question mark about his stamina in the mid-season championship rather than the likes of Soldier Of Fortune has taken some by surprise, but O'Brien says it was a simple choice.
He continued: "This horse has won three Group Ones and Soldier Of Fortune had already had two runs - we decided to give him a mid-summer break with an autumn campaign in mind so the decision was easy enough. He's very good, his physique, pedigree, mentally, attitude, everything about him. He is very professional."
