The stage is set for a thrilling day of racing at Newbury, with the Greenham Stakes taking center stage at 2pm. A talented field of eight will compete in the Watership Down Stud Too Darn Hot Greenham Stakes, with Zavateri and Albert Einstein being the main attractions. Zavateri, trained by Eve Johnson Houghton, had a remarkable two-year-old campaign, winning two Group 2 races and the Group 1 National Stakes at the Curragh. He will make his seasonal debut here before potentially competing in the Irish 2,000 Guineas.
Albert Einstein, trained by Aidan O'Brien, is an intriguing contender in a race that O'Brien has yet to win.

O'Brien still has faith in his star three-year-old, who will wear a first-time hood.
