Botti keen on Princess of Wales's repeat for Giavellotto
Given he was beaten over seven lengths by Jan Brueghel and Calandagan, Botti feels Giavellotto might benefit from dropping back to Group Two level at Newmarket rather than tackling the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes. 'He ran his race. The ground on Friday was just on the easy side of good and Oisin (Murphy) said after the race that while it wasn't soft ground, it wasn't quick enough for him,' said Botti. 'He's at his best on fast ground but that said, he might have only finished a couple of lengths closer, it didn't make the difference between winning and losing. 'It was still a good run with Group One winners behind him and he gives his best all the time. 'I think we stay at a mile and a half but I said to the owner after the race that we had to be realistic. We were thinking about the King George but that might be a little ambitious and maybe we should go back to Newmarket for the race he won last year, the Princess of Wales's.'

Schiergen has Epsom mapped out for Geography
Schiergen is no stranger to success on British soil having saddled his Arc heroine Danedream to win the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in 2012, while the 60-year-old also ran Tunnes at Epsom in the 2023 edition of the Coronation Cup. Now he takes aim at Saturday's Group Three contest with his four-year-old who won for the third time at that level at Dusseldorf in April, in a race in which Archie Watson's reopposing globetrotter Brave Emperor was beaten five and a half lengths in fifth. 'He's coming over to run, Derby day is a big day, so we will be coming,' said Schiergen. 'I think he is in good form, we have gelded him since his last run which we thought was a good idea and we think he's in a good place.' Geography is a 6-1 chance with the race sponsors and will be partnered by William Buick after Ryan Moore, who was originally booked to ride, switched to Richard Hannon's Persica on Tuesday morning.
