Multi task eased by York ground

Multidimensional gets another chance to prove himself at the highest level in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York on Tuesday.

The five-year-old, trained by Henry Cecil, has failed in three attempts in Group One company, the latest when he was unplaced in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown last month.

However, that race was on fast ground while conditions will be much different on the Knavesmire.

Multidimensional has previously shown he can act on heavy going when winning the Group Three Rose of Lancaster Stakes at Haydock earlier this month.

“Mr Cecil is very pleased how he’s taken the Haydock race and he’s given him the green light for tomorrow, but it’s a very strong contest,” said Alan Cooper, racing manager to owners the Niarchos Family.

“He’s returning to Group One company and it’s a possible championship race. He takes his chance and hopefully he’ll acquit himself well.

“Haydock was very heavy – he wasn’t at his best on the ground – but he got through it.

“Conditions won’t be a disadvantage tomorrow.”
