Deauville Race 2 - Sumbe Prix Kergorlay (Group 2)
DOUBLE MAJOR (4) finished a 0.5L third competing in the 2800m G2 Prix Maurice de Nieuil at Longcahmp. Selected to register his third consecutive win in this race. SANTORINI STAR (5) lost out by a nose in placing second in the 2816m G2 Lillie Langtry Stakes at Goodwood. Expected to deliver a big effort. DEFIANTLY (2) came home 3L clear of his nearest rival over 4123m at Goodwood. Danger to all dropping in distance with blinkers applied for the first time. The youngest horse in the field AERONEF (6) performed well in placing a neck second in the Listed Prix Michel Houyvet over 3000m at this track. Notable contender.

Most recently rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd in a small field in the G2 Lillie Langtry Stakes at Goodwood on August 1 over 2816m, nose behind Goodie Two Shoes carrying 62.5kg at $5. Before that ran last of 12 in the G2 Hardwicke Stakes at Ascot on June 20 over 2414m, 20 len behind Giavellotto carrying 57kg at $17. Went close last time. Huge chance on latest and can go on with it.
