Loughnane was among the winners on Saturday's Coral-Eclipse card at Sandown, notably landing the Coral Challenge aboard Cicero's Gift (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}) for Charlie Hills, who is set to reward the young rider with the mount on one of his two potential July Cup runners, the Jim and Fitri Hay-owned pair of Khaadem (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) and Mitbaahy (Ire) (Profitable {Ire}).
Jamie Spencer's ban leaves the Hays without the services of their preferred jockey at Newmarket and Loughnane is set to be one of the beneficiaries. Khaadem, in particular, would be a signficant ride for the 18-year-old to pick up after the gelding won the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot for the second consecutive year.
