Do Bronxs set for Rose Bowl bid
Do Bronxs made his debut up at Ayr but went off a weak 10-1 shot before staying on strongly inside the final furlong to win well.
He is up against Charlie Appleby's Norfolk Stakes runner-up Wise Approach but Loughnane is never one to shy away from a good one.
'He's a nice horse, he impressed on his debut and he seems to have come on leaps,' said Loughnane.
'I think a lot of him.
'Obviously the Godolphin horse who was second in the Norfolk sets the standard and could prove hard to beat but you can't run away from one horse.
'If he's going to be as good as I think he is he'll have to be competitive in this company.'
Wise Approach won on his debut and was then fourth at York in a race won by the reopposing First Legion, but the Godolphin runner turned that form around at Ascot when beating all bar Charles Darwin.
Appleby told the Godolphin website: 'Wise Approach came out of Ascot well and we feel that stepping back up to six furlongs will suit.
'If he runs to anything near the level of his Norfolk Stakes form, it should make him very competitive in this grade.'
Owner Sheikh Mohammed Obaid has two runners, George Boughey's Windsor winner Amorim and the Kevin Ryan-trained Rock On Thunder, who was ninth of 20 in the Coventry.
Tom Dascombe's Kolkata Knight is the only other runner with the planned Irish raider Nuevo Slovo now not taking part.

Ryan team expect Goodwood to suit Molecomb runner Ameeq
The Mehmas colt ran a stormer in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot to come home fourth as a 100-1 shot and should find conditions on the Sussex Downs more to his liking. Previous to that, he broke his maiden at Nottingham in fine style when beating Chairmanfourtimes, who has since franked that form with a victory of his own at Pontefract. Ryan, who is assistant to his father, Kevin, said: 'It was a fantastic race at Ascot. 'Probably a little bit unlucky with being drawn slightly on the wrong side. Obviously the winner (Charles Darwin) was very good. 'He did himself very proud there. He's got a lot of natural speed so Goodwood should suit him. 'We don't run horses at Ascot thinking they haven't got a chance. The horse doesn't know his odds and we thought he'd do himself proud and he did just that.' Ryan will be double-handed with Dickensian trying his luck at Group level for the first time. The son of Pinatubo found only Havana Hurricane too good in the Windsor Castle at the Royal meeting and heading to Goodwood was always the plan. Ryan added: 'He's come out of Ascot well. He was a good second there, just getting caught late on, so the Molecomb was tagged up straight away to head to and he goes down there with a big chance.' Charlie Appleby's Military Code won his first two starts before disappointing in the Coventry Stakes. He bounced back to form at Sandown recently when beaten just a head by Staya. 'Military Code put up a good performance at Sandown, with the winner going on to run well at Ascot over the weekend. We highlighted this race straight after his last run and he goes there in good order,' Appleby told Ger Lyons sends Group Three scorer Lady Iman from Ireland after she lost her unbeaten record last time out in the Airlie Stud Stakes at the Curragh when racing too keenly. Tim Easterby is represented by three-time winner Argentine Tango, who has some fine form behind Karl Burke's star filly Venetian Sun. 'The ground is good which suits her, but she's drawn in stall one which is not ideal, but what can you do. She should run well,' said Easterby. 'She's been training very well into the race and we were very happy with her Newmarket performance behind Venetian Sun. She's got seven others to beat though, but she's going into it as well as she could be.' David O'Meara runs Rogue Supremacy with Andrew Balding's Sands Of Spain and David Simcock's Rydale Frosty completing the line-up.
