Recent Redcar winner Forte Dei Marmi is likely to be Luca Cumani's only runner in the John Smith's Cup at York next Saturday.
The four-year-old has won two of his three starts this season and his latest triumph in the Zetland Gold Cup earned him a 6lb rise in the weights.
Trainer Luca Cumani said: "We only have Forte Dei Marmi for the John Smith's Cup as our other entry, Fiery Lad, runs in the Old Newton Cup at Haydock. He just missed the cut for the Wolferton at Royal Ascot so he goes to York a fresh horse."
He added: "His two most recent wins have come on good to firm ground but we would prefer a safe surface with a little bit of cut.
"Being a homebred, Forte Dei Marmi is one of our yard favourites. He has been training well and we have high aspirations for him."
