Energizer primed for Voltigeur tilt

Connections of Energizer expect the German import to be suited by the step up to a mile and a half when he tackles the Neptune Investment Management Great Voltigeur Stakes at York this day week.

Godolphin nominated the Group Two, for which he will have to be supplemented, as a likely first port of call for the colt after they bought him following his victory in the Tercentenary Stakes at Royal Ascot in June.

“He has settled in very well. He is a horse very much for next year, but I think he will run a big race in the Voltigeur,” said Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford.
