Godolphin's new Evry "academy" is set for its first Patternrace runner, with City On A Hill on course for the Group Three TNT International Aviation July Stakes at Newmarket tomorrow week.

David Loder, in his first season looking after the team of around 140 two-year-olds in Paris, will return to "Headquarters" to saddle the colt who is unbeaten in two starts in France.

Outlining the plan for the dual Chantilly winner, Godolphin's racing representative in France Diana Cooper said: "There's a strong possibility that City On A Hill will run in the July Stakes as he's been earmarked for the race since winning in Listed company last time."
