Richard Hannon is building up his team for the marquee meeting at Glorious Goodwood, with NIGHT OF THUNDER and TOORMORE showing themselves to have thrived since Royal Ascot.
Lockinge Stakes winner Night Of Thunder has top mile targets ahead, with the Sussex Stakes one potential jewel in his itinerary.
The feature of the Goodwood summer fixture is, with Qatar backing, one of the most coveted prizes in the world and Night Of Thunder's inclusion along with Gleneagles and Solow adds lustre to the race.
Toormore has fallen short in the Lockinge and Queen Anne, but not by that far.
He put in some pleasing work on the main all-weather strip and has shown a liking for Goodwood, though he has the versatility to be able to drop back to seven furlongs for the Lennox Stakes if necessary.
PEACOCK found it hard work against Time Test at Royal Ascot but has come out of his race bucking and kicking.
The Queen's colt is another for whom opportunity awaits at Goodwood, while he shone in a strong piece of work on the main all-weather.
ILLUMINATE, Hannon's Albany Stakes winner, is in equally good order and worked with great panache ahead of a possible bid at the Cherry Hinton Stakes at Newmarket.
That form looks very strong and Hannon has a potentially top-class filly on his hands in this unbeaten individual.
