GLENEAGLES is as big as 7/2 with several bookmakers to topple Golden Horn (4/6 generally) in next Wednesday’s Juddmonte International Stakes at York.

The 10-furlong race promises to be one of the season’s highlights, though the threat of easy ground on the Knavesmire could yet rule out Gleneagles and inconvenience Golden Horn, both horses having missed recent engagements due to unwanted rain.

The dual 2000 Guineas winner Gleneagles has won all three of his starts this season and Epsom Derby hero Golden Horn is undefeated in four.

A third top-class three-year-old in the race is Roger Charlton’s Time Test (5/1), one of the most impressive winners of the week at Royal Ascot and owned by sponsor Khalid Abdullah. Pat Smullen comes in for the ride, following the defection of the Dermot Weld-trained Free Eagle, who waits for the Irish Champion Stakes.

The Grey Gatsby (8/1), just edged out by Free Eagle at Royal Ascot, looks sure to give a good account of himself in what is sure to be the most important race of the four-day meeting.

Smullen looks likely to keep the ride on Covert Love in Thursday’s Yorkshire Oaks. The rapidly improving Irish Oaks winner was supplemented for the York race yesterday by trainer Hugo Palmer. Jim Bolger, David Wachman, Tony Martin, Aidan O’Brien and Jessica Harrington are the Irish trainers still with entries in this race.

Aloft and Bondi Beach have been confirmed by Aidan O’Brien as likely starters in Wednesday’s Great Voltigeur Stakes. The trainer is responsible for nine of the 14 possible runners in the Group 2 contest and says he could run three in total.

Bondi Beach won the Curragh Cup in June and Aloft won the Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot.

Fields Of Athenry, a fast-improving colt trained by O’Brien, is set to skip the Great Voltigeur in favour of the Ebor Handicap on Saturday. He heads the market at around 8/1 and the next two in the betting are also Irish-trained – Clondaw Warrior (9/1) and Quick Jack (10/1).

Frankie Dettori has been snapped up by Willie Mullins to partner Clondaw Warrior and Dettori is also set to ride the Eddie Lynam-trained Sole Power in next Friday’s Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes.

Lynam has turned to Dettori following the retirement of Richard Hughes and in the absence of the injured Ryan Moore. Sole Power has won the Nunthorpe twice before and appears to be in equally good form this season, having won in Dubai in March and finishing a close fourth in the July Cup last time out.
