Irish St Leger on cards for Forgotten Rules

Forgotten Rules is set to be prepared for the Irish St Leger following his admirable effort in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.

The Dermot Weld-trained five-year-old lost his unbeaten record in Thursday’s staying showpiece, but was far from disgraced in finishing a close third behind Trip To Paris.

Weld feels the two-and-a-half-mile distance proved beyond his charge and is keen to bring him back in trip for the Leger, a race he has won seven times.
