Longchamp Race 4 - Prix Gladiateur Stakes - Group 3
DOUBLE MAJOR (8) disappointed placing 10L third in the 3000m G2 Prix Kergorlay at Deauville. Selected to return to winning ways with blinkers applied for the first time. MIDAK (5) rates highly following a victory racing from the front in the 2916m Listed Chester Stakes at Chester. BARBATE (4) failed to shine finishing 20L fifth in the previously mentioned 3000m G2 Prix Kergorlay at Deauville. Better expected on this occasion. GOYA SENORA (1) suffered a 2.5L defeat recording a sixth place finish contesting a 2900m conditions event at Clairefontaine. Of note chasing the twelfth success of his career.

Most recently won by a neck in the LR Chester Stakes on August 22 over 2916m defeating By The Book carrying 61kg at $17. Before that ran second last of 8 in the G3 Glorious Stakes at Goodwood on August 1 over 2414m, 6 len behind Enfjaar with 58.5kg at $51. Going well and looks hard to beat again here.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at Vichy on August 6 over 3200m on a rain affected track defeating Vendomya with 61.5kg at $3.10. Before that 2nd of 7 at Saint-Cloud on July 8 over 3000m, 1.0 len behind Dempy carrying 59.5kg at $4.80. Would have to improve even further.
