Ten days after winning the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes, Schiergen and jockey Andrasch Starke combine with German Derby third Girolamo.

ENCKE READY FOR GORDON ACID TEST.

Connections of Encke are hoping the colt can make up for lost time when he tests his Classic credentials in Tuesday's bet365 Gordon Stakes on the opening day of Glorious Goodwood.
The Godolphin colt had looked a potential Classic prospect last autumn but did not reappear until very recently at Sandown.
The team's racing manager, Simon Crisford, said: "Encke is really nicely bred. He is a colt who won his maiden at Newmarket last year and then was off the track for a while. He won a handicap at Sandown and I know he was widely expected to win in the press but actually he was a little bit short of work and ran very green.
