On Tuesday Irish trainer Donnacha O'Brien sends just one runner over to England for the first day of the Royal Ascot meeting and when sending his runners across the Irish Sea he has seen huge success, which is why it is worth taking notice of.

The young handler has a strike rate of 33% when bringing his horses over to England from Ireland landing two winners from his six runners.

In the Group Two Coventry Stakes he fields Masseto who has been seen twice to date and he offers some of the best form in the race.

Having scored on debut in April over six furlongs at Navan, he was then thrusted into the Group Three Marble Hill Stakes at The Curragh and was a narrow second behind the smart Castle Star, who was favourite for this race before being withdrawn.

Big chance.
