PAUL Cole believes there is more to come from impressive York winner No Hubris as he prepares to step up in grade for the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The son of Proud Citizen was not unfancied for his racecourse introduction on the Knavesmire and after being sent straight to the front, he quickened clear in great style to beat subsequent winner Flying Statesman with plenty to spare.

He will have more on his plate in Tuesday’s Group Two contest but Cole is hopeful of a bold show.

‘‘He’s on target for the Coventry and I think he’ll put up a good performance,’’ said the Wantage handler.

‘‘He had been going well at home before his debut but you still have to go the racecourse and do it so that was good to see.

‘‘I think he has improved again since then and I think the fast ground should suit him well.

‘‘These races are always hard to assess as there are five or six in there that could be really good two-year-olds, we will just have to see.

‘‘The horse is in good form and I’m hopeful he will run a good race.’’ Delegator, runner-up in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, will have a new jockey in the St James’s Palace at Royal Ascot as Jimmy Fortune is to replace Jamie Spencer.

Fortune rode the Brian Meehan-trained colt in his first two starts as a juvenile, although Spencer has been his regular partner since then, winning the Craven in great style before the pair found only Sea The Stars too good in the Guineas.

Delegator got stuck in the mud in the Irish Guineas last time out, finishing eighth of the nine runners to Mastercraftsman, who was only fifth at Newmarket.
