The John O'Shea-trained Holler will take his place in the Group I Diamond Jubilee Stakes (6f), the race best known in Australia due to the deeds of past gallopers Choisir, Starspangledbanner and the great Black Caviar.

Holler is one of three rides on the program for Kiwi jockey James McDonald while Cox Plate placegetter Highland Reel will also represent the Australian breeding industry, being a son of Danehill mare, Hveger.

Below is a list of the Australasian hopefuls in action on the final day of the Royal meeting at Ascot.
