Godolphin now has a headache in terms of who will run for them in The Everest next Saturday – but trainer James Cummings says it’s a good headache to have.

What a mammoth task Nature Strip’s competitors will face in The Everest if he can maintain his winning mentality. They were the thoughts of Chris Waller’s strapper Clare Heuston after the seven-year-old’s dominant 4.5-length victory in the King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot last week.
