Queen Anne Stakes (1430)
The first of three Group One races on the opening day - The Queen Anne Stakes - sees a potential clash between Breeders' Cup Mile and Lockinge hero Modern Games, Coronation Stakes and Prix Jacques Le Marois heroine Inspiral, and last season's Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Native Trail.

David Simcock's pair of Cash and Light Infantry and Mutasaabeq from Charlie Hills' yard also feature among 13 confirmations.

The King's Stand Stakes went the way of Australia last year with Nature Strip and this year his compatriot Coolangatta is towards the top of the betting markets.
John Quinn's mare Highfield Princess heads the market.
Karl Burke's Dramatised and John Ryan's Manaccan are other contenders for the home team, as is the Archie Watson-trained Bradsell who has been supplemented for the race.
A strong international challenge includes a pair of Australian runners in Coolangatta and Cannonball.
