Danon Decile canters in Newmarket ahead of York target
Japanese raider Danon Decile stepped up his Juddmonte International Stakes preparations with his first piece of work since arriving in Newmarket on Friday morning. The Dubai Sheema Classic winner is a temporary resident at James Horton's Beech Hurst Stables in the heartland of British racing ahead of his mouthwatering York clash with Eclipse one-two Delacroix and Ombudsman. He had his first canter up the famous Warren Hill in the company of trainer Shogo Yasuda, who is pleased by how his charge has settled into his new surroundings and also has no concerns about reverting to a mile and a quarter after his Group One strike over further in Dubai. Yasuda said: "We did travel very well, so we're very satisfied. "My training plan between the two weeks from here to York, the main thing is to take care of his mind – make him happy. "I'm not concerned for the shorter distance. I believe he's got a lot of experience from racing. I'm not worried about the drop in distance. He can adjust pace." Danon Decile is a five-time winner who will arrive at the Knavesmire in search of a hat-trick in the £1.25m feature of the Ebor Festival's opening day after his Meydan win followed a valuable triumph in his homeland. The four-year-old is as short as 4-1 with some bookmakers to scoop the prestigious Group One and he will be the second Japanese challenger in as many years to venture to Yorkshire after Durezza finished fifth in a race recognised as officially the best in the world 12 months ago.

Danon Decile ready to go in search of International honours
Japanese star Danon Decile has completed his final workout before leaving for the UK and his bid for glory in the Juddmonte International at York on August 20. The four-year-old was put through his paces at Ritto Training Centre and was ridden by his trainer, Shogo Yasuda. Danon Decile won the Sheema Classic at Meydan in April, beating the top-class Calandagan, who has won two Group Ones since, by a length and a quarter. 'We wanted to see how well he could settle behind another horse while going left-handed, and also get a sense of how much pressure he can handle once he's over there (in the UK). He's handled the heat well and managed his time leading up to quarantine smoothly,' Yasuda told Japan's Daily Sports. 'He's matured since the Dubai trip, but there's still a bit of youth in him. If he can grow from this experience, I'm excited about what's to come.'
