Gleneagles set to clash with Golden Horn in Juddmonte

Gleneagles is set to sidestep this weekend’s Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville and instead head to York for a fascinating clash with Derby hero Golden Horn in the Juddmonte International.

The Galileo colt has enjoyed a tremendous campaign for Aidan O’Brien, winning the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Irish equivalent before a brilliant display in the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Connections have been keen to stick to a mile and after missing the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood due to unsuitable ground, he looked set to cross the Channel for Sunday’s Group One.
