The Queen's Ascot Gold Cup heroine Estimate has been ruled out of the Weatherbys Hamilton Insurance Lonsdale Cup at York on Friday.

Sir Michael Stoute is reportedly not entirely happy with her well-being ahead of the Group Two event and will not declare the daughter of Monsun, who has won both her races this season

War outguns International rivals.

Quote:

Declaration Of War caused a minor surprise in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York, in which Sussex Stakes winner Toronado was a distinct disappointment.

Since winning the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot, Declaration Of War had finished behind Al Kazeem in the Eclipse and Toronado at Goodwood. Since then he has even been to France to contest the Prix Jacques le Marois.

Telescope stars in Voltigeur.

Quote:

Telescope justified 5-4 favouritism to go some way to vindicating the hype in the Neptune Investment Management Great Voltigeur Stakes at York.

Once favourite for the Epsom Derby, Telescope had been turned over at long odds-on just 11 days ago in the Rose of Lancaster Stakes at Haydock, but trainer Sir Michael Stoute had no doubts about running him again so soon

Leading hopes seek Gimcrack glory.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu

Quote:

Wilshire Boulevard and Saayerr are among a competitive field of eight for Saturday's Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Gimcrack Stakes at York.

The former, trained by Aidan O'Brien, took a little while to learn his trade but stepped up to the plate in the Group Three Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh last time.

Saayerr would be attempting to continue what has already been a fine season for trainer William Haggas, and he must again take on Cable Bay, who pushed him pretty hard in the Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

Kristale a cut above in Lowther.

Quote:

A confidently-ridden Lucky Kristale followed up her Newmarket victory in the Connolly's Red Mills Lowther Stakes at York.

Carrying a penalty for her success in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes, George Margarson's 5-2 joint-favourite was held up off the pace by Tom Queally and arrowed down the near-side rail.

She once again picked up in spectacular fashion and got the measure of Queen Catrine by a length and a half.

The Fugue back on song in Oaks.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu

Quote:

Last year's runner-up The Fugue went one place better in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks with an authoritative victory at York.

Second to Shareta 12 months ago, William Buick's mount went off the 2-1 favourite, despite a disappointing performance last time in the Eclipse, when she was found to be under the weather.

The Fugue, trained by John Gosden, cruised into contention with a couple of furlongs remaining and brushed off market rival Venus De Milo with contempt as she swept four lengths clear.

Drowne makes waves in Nunthorpe

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...3&sub=&day=Fri

Quote:

Steve Drowne landed his first Group One since 2007 when Robert Cowell's flying filly Jwala caused a 40-1 upset in the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes at York.

One of the more popular members of the weighing room, Drowne has endured more ups and downs in his career than many since Sakhee's Secret struck in the July Cup six years ago, and the closely knit racing community were delighted to see him back in the limelight.

The 41-year-old missed the majority of last season after being misdiagnosed when he fainted at home, and it was not until the intervention of his local MP that his return to the saddle was hastened.

A nice reward for all the jockey has gone through.

Tiger shows claws to land Ebor

Quote:

Lady Cecil's Tiger Cliff thrust home late to claim a last-gasp victory in a thrilling Betfred Ebor at York.

Following heavy rain overnight, Europe's richest handicap promised to be an attritional affair, run over the stamina-sapping distance of a mile and three-quarters, and there was drama as soon as the stalls opened as leading contender Opinion completely blew the start. Luckily for him he soon made up the ground due to the sedate early gallop.

War in command performance.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Sat

Quote:

Royal Ascot hero War Command got his season back on track with a smart display in the Galileo EBF Futurity Stakes at the Curragh.

Aidan O'Brien's juvenile ran out a spectacular winner of the Coventry Stakes in June, but then suffered a shock defeat when only third in the Phoenix Stakes at this track a fortnight ago. Despite that reverse, he was an 8-11 favourite as he stepped up to seven furlongs.

Joseph O'Brien appeared content to give his pacesetting stable companion Friendship plenty of rope and there was a brief moment of worry for odds-on backers as Mustajeeb loomed up as a threat, but War Command quickly engaged overdrive to go by his pacemaker and put the race to bed.

Cirrus in Deauville flop

Cirrus Des Aigles continued his worrying decline with yet another defeat at Deauville.

Corine Barande-Barbe's gelding went off the 2-1 favourite for the Grand Prix de Deauville, having picked up the Group Two event a couple of years ago en route to his Champion Stakes success, but he has now been beaten four times this season and weakened into fifth behind Tres Blue (11-1).
