But it is likely only Mission Central is a possibility to come to Sydney for the Group 1 $20 million The TAB Everest later this year although he will have to win or go very close at Newmarket.

Mission Central, trained by Aidan O'Brien, was an outstanding winner of the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot last month, defeating Sydney's talented Overpass into third placing.

Overpass was a close fourth to Hong Kong superstar Ka Ying Rising in The Everest last spring which suggests the Coolmore-owned Mission Central would be competitive at Royal Randwick during the Sydney spring carnival.

Coolmore Australia supremo Tom Magnier said at Royal Ascot last month that Mission Central is being considered for their slot in The Everest.

"There is a lot of water to flow under the bridge and we have a lot of horses in Australia,'' Magnier said.

"But I guess a horse like this (Mission Central) gets put into the mix and he could come down and run in The Everest.''

Mission Central unleashed a powerful finishing sprint to win the King Charles but he will have to go to another level to win the July Cup.

Crack filly Venetian Sun, brilliant winner of the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last start, is the early 2/1 favourite for the July Cup ahead of Almeraq at 9/2, then Satono Reve at 5/1, Mission Central is next at 6/1 and Lazzat is at 12/1.

The William Haggas-trained Almeraq ran down Satono Reve and top Sydney mare Joliestar in a thrilling finish to the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at the Royal meeting last month.

Haggas also has promising three-year-old Division (7/1) lining up in the July Cup after his close third to Venetian Sun in the Commonwealth Cup.

"Both Almeraq and Division are intended (to run in the July Cup) but neither are likely for The Everest this year,'' Haggas told Racing And Sports.

The July Cup field is so strong that a talented sprinter like France's Lazzat is at double figure odds despite his last start win by nearly five lengths in a Group 3 sprint at Longchamp.

Lazzat is well-known to Sydney race fans as he finished a close second to Lake Forest in the Golden Eagle two years ago.
