Teal relishing Royal Ascot rematch for Dancing Gemini
The four-year-old was the 2-1 favourite after a superb campaign so far this season, with his reappearance a straightforward success in the Listed Doncaster Mile and his next run a Group Two victory in the bet365 Mile at Sandown. Rosallion, triumphant in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes last year, was considered his main rival, but it was Lead Artist – who was last of eight behind Teal's runner at Sandown – who came to the fore to prevail by a neck. Dancing Gemini still ran a fine race in second as Rosallion came home two and a quarter lengths back in third, and it looks probable the trio will meet again for another clash in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot. 'He's taken it very well, there's not a bother on him. He's eaten up and is fresh and well,' Teal said of his colt. 'He lost nothing in defeat, really, just prize money! It was a fantastic run. 'I can't help but feel a little bit gutted to get beaten by so small a margin, but hopefully he'll have his day soon enough. 'It'll be straight to Ascot for us, straight to the rematch in the Queen Anne.' Dancing Gemini's fortunes have mirrored those of last year's crack miler Charyn thus far, with the grey winning both events at Doncaster and Sandown before narrowly missing out at Newbury. Charyn then turned the tables and emerged victorious at the Royal meeting, something Teal is hoping can happen to his son of Camelot next month. 'The pattern has stayed the same so far, I had hoped he wouldn't copy Charyn so literally!' he said. 'It bodes well and we hope we can go and get our revenge. He's very, very smart and I'm sure he's going to have his day.'

Charlie Hills bidding for more Greenlands glory with Iberian
The Lambourn handler claimed the Group Two prize with Mitbaahy 12 months ago and will have high hopes of adding to his tally with a horse who was last seen going down a neck to Spycatcher in the Cammidge Trophy on the opening day of the season at Doncaster. With Hills keen to stick at six furlongs, Iberian had the option of running at York in Wednesday's 1895 Duke of York Stakes, but he is instead being readied for a trip across the Irish Sea. 'He's very well, we're really pleased with him. We decided to bypass York and we're aiming for the Greenlands instead,' said Hills. 'The track should suit him well and if he runs well there then it could be good timing to then go to the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot. 'I was really pleased with his Doncaster run, he was probably a bit unlucky with the way he dived across the track and seemed to lose his concentration for a little bit. 'He hit the line strong though, so we'll put that behind us now and look forward to the rest of the season.' Another Hills inmate who started his season on a good note is Cicero's Gift, with the five-year-old finishing third in a competitive renewal of the Group Two bet365 Mile at Sandown. However, current plans are on hold for the son of Muhaarar, who prefers easy ground underfoot. 'We've just got to wait until it starts to rain. It's really hard to make plans with him at the moment, it's been so dry,' Hills added. 'We'll keep our options open through the year but he's always been at his best when he can get into the ground, so we'll just have to be patient and wait for the rain.'
