Dutch Art is strongly fancied to retain his unbeaten record when he faces five high-quality rivals in the Shadwell Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket today.
Peter Chapple-Hyam's progressive juvenile ran out a most impressive winner of the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot on only his second start back in June, showing a lightning turn of foot.
Following that impressive success, Dutch Art confirmed himself to be among the elite when running on strongly over six furlongs to lift the Prix Morny.
His handler has made no secret of the regard in which he holds this son of Medicean, who is taken to gain win number four at Newmarket against a field that includes Aidan O'Brien's Brave Tin Soldier.
Magic America can provide a further boost to his chances by taking the Sky Bet Cheveley Park Stakes earlier on the card.
Jeremy Noseda's 1000 Guineas favourite Sander Camillo is likely to be a warm order, but there has to be a doubt as to whether she will prove effective on what could be a softer surface than she has encountered before.
There are no such concerns for Criquette Head-Maarek's filly, who ran her best race to date when only a length behind Dutch Art and a head in front of Excellent Art last time.
