Last time out winners Montador and Chapman's Peak step up Graded Stakes company for the G3 Commonwealth Turf Stakes at Churchill Downs in US on Saturday.

Montador bids for a second straight win under the Twin Spires, with the Michael Stidham-trained three-year-old having comfortably won an allowance race over half a furlong longer earlier this month.

The Nyquist colt was a decisive winner of a Kentucky Downs maiden at the end of August and was beaten a head by subsequent G3 runner-up Tenacious Leader in a Keeneland allowance race in October.

Chapman's Peak also shed his maiden tag at Kentucky Downs when scoring by a length in September. Trained by Brad Cox, the Quality Road three-year-old went on to readily make all in an allowance race at Keenland’s Fall Meet on his latest outing.

Michael Banahan, Director of Bloodstock, Godolphin USA, said: “Chapman's Peak and Montador are coming into the G3 Commonwealth if fine fettle, with both of them having won on their last start.
