KNIGHT To Behold earned a well-deserved Group 2 success when taking the Prix Guillaume d’Ornano at Deauville, adding to a prior victory in the Listed Derby Trial Stakes at Lingfield Park. The Neil Jones owned and bred three-year-old will now have his sights trained again on a Group 1 prize after he failed to sparkle in either the Derby at Epsom or at the Curragh. He holds an entry in the Arc in October.

A son of Sea The Stars (Cape Cross), Knight To Behold is from a family that Jones has had a long association with. He raced three siblings in Ireland, all trained by John Oxx and all winners. Best of these was Beauty O’Gwaun (Rainbow Quest) and she won the Group 3 Blue Wind Stakes. Angelonmyshoulder (King’s Best) won as a two-year-old for Jones and Oxx and he was later a multiple winner and stakes-placed in the USA. The third Oxx trained winning sibling was Missy O’Gwaun (King’s Best).
