Black-Type Analysis: Lordano Aiming For Deutsches St Leger Double

Wait 5 sec.

Sunday, Dortmund, Germany, post time: 16:20, WETTSTAR.DE – 141ST DEUTSCHES ST LEGER-G3, €55,000, 3yo/up, 14fTField: Caballo De Mar (Ire) (Phoenix Of Spain {Ire}), Kampfer (Ger) (Protectionist {Ger}), Lordano (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), Padre Palou (Ger) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), Tex Lot (Ger) (Camelot {GB}), Waldnebel (Ger) (Reliable Man {GB}), Asmira (Ger) (Isfahan {Ger}).TDN Analysis: Gestut Ittlingen's homebred Lordano, the winner here in 2023, will head postward as a warm order for this stamina test coming back off a narrow victory in June's G2 Grosser Preis der Badischen Wirtschaft at Baden-Baden. His main domestic rivals are July's G3 Furstenberg-Rennen victor Padre Palou and G1 Deutsches Derby eighth Waldnebel, with the latter stepping up to this trip for the first time. George Scott trainee Caballo De Mar, runner-up in Royal Ascot's Copper Horse Handicap, is the lone overseas challenger. Three-year-old filly Asmira receives a full house of weight concessions and will need them in this first outing beyond 12 furlongs.

Admiral De Vega ran third in Ovrevoll's G3 Marit Sveaas Minnelop last month and Ami De Vega was last seen finishing second to G3 Deutsches St Leger nominee Padre Palou in Hoppegarten's G3 Furstenberg-Rennen. Previous winners Espen Hill and Hard One To Please are back for more in a line-up of the usual suspects, while Jane Chapple-Hyam ships in recent Kincsem Dij winner Claymore for his Scandinavian debut.

Henk Grewe entry Dalyan and Polish challenger Lady Liva are the others with winning form in the book. Of the maidens, Gestut Fahrhof's once-raced homebred Soreanga appears best placed to make the breakthrough. [Sean Cronin].Monday, Fairyhouse, post time: 17:45, BALLYHANE BLENHEIM STAKES-Listed, €27,000, 2yo, 6fTField: Charles Fort (GB) (St Mark's Basilica {Fr}), Chicago Call (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Fresh Fade (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}), Howd'yadoit (Ire) (Nando Parrado {GB}), Morehampton (Ire) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), Nuevo Slovo (Ire) (James Garfield {Ire}), Sir Alfie (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Slaudeen (GB) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Tertre Rouge (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Alibah (Ire) (Galileo Gold {GB}), Dawn Romance (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Treasured Royal (Ire) (Nando Parrado {GB}), Yaupon De Replay (Yaupon).TDN Analysis: Ballydoyle's Charles Fort was off the mark at the fourth attempt in style switched back to this trip at Cork and could be ready to take off now. The Ballyhane winner Howd'yadoit could still be improving, while it is possibly significant that Joseph O'Brien is dropping the Gowran Park maiden winner Alibah back from seven.
