There are a total of 17 colts still in Thursday`s Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket after today`s confirmation stage.
Aidan O`Brien has eight entries still in the six-furlong Group One contest headed by Minardi.
If allowed to take his chance at Newmarket, Minardi is sure to be prominent in the betting having landed the Heinz 57 Phoenix Stakes at Leopardstown in good style by five lengths from Superstar Leo on his last visit to a racecourse.
Other interesting entries are Gimcrack Stakes winner Bannister and Baaridd, who returned to winning form when dropped back to six furlongs at Ripon last time.
John Gosden has Richmond Stakes victor Endless Summer still in the #130,000 contest.
The son of Zafonic was possibly unsuited by the soft ground when second behind Bad As I Wanna Be last time out in the Prix Morny.
Brian Meehan has supplemented Bad As I Wanna Be for Thursday`s race at a cost of #12,000.
Mill Reef Stakes runner-up Pomfret Lad is the only other additionto the field.
