Lazzat Leads Star Field in Bid for Back-to-Back Maurice de Gheest Wins

Sunday’s continental Group One action features Lazzat’s title defence in Deauville alongside Rebel’s Romance’s bid in Berlin.

Overview

  • Lazzat returns to Deauville after his Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes triumph at Royal Ascot, seeking consecutive wins over 1,300 metres.
  • Kevin Ryan’s Inisherin, Francis Graffard’s Woodshauna and Godolphin’s Shadow Of Light headline a deep sprint field challenging the reigning champion.
  • Andre Fabre’s Sajir makes his Maurice de Gheest debut in an attempt to secure the one Group One missing from his trainer’s record.
  • Rebel’s Romance spearheads the international raiders in Sunday’s Grosser Preis von Berlin, where foreign runners have prevailed in three of the last four renewals.
  • Good to firm ground is forecast at Deauville, a scenario expected to favour Lazzat’s high cruising speed and front-running style.
