Buick hoping Izzi is the right choice in Nassau

Stable jockey William Buick believes John Gosden’s pair of Izzi Top and The Fugue will fight out the finish in today’s Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

Buick had a difficult choice to make once it became evident the stable companions would do battle on the Sussex Downs and has come down on the side of the year older Izzi Top, who is unbeaten in three starts this season.

The Fugue was many people’s idea of the moral winner of the Investec Oaks at Epsom in June having suffered major interference on her way to finishing third and she was last seen running second in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot.
