Delacroix and Ombudsman part of six-strong Juddmonte International field
The pair met in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown, where Ryan Moore conjured a tremendous last-gasp effort from Aidan O'Brien's Delacroix to deny the John and Thady Gosden-trained Ombudsman. Ombudsman had earlier been very impressive in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot and the four-year-old has yet to finish out of the first two in seven career starts. Delacroix followed the traditional Ballydoyle Derby route to Epsom, winning the two Leopardstown trials, but never looked happy in the premier Classic. Back at 10 furlongs last time out, he showed this true colours. The race truly lives up to its International name this year, with Danon Decile having travelled over from Japan for the contest. He was last seen beating subsequent King George winner Calandagan in the Dubai Sheema Classic. Daryz, from the same Francis-Henri Graffard stable as last year's runner-up Calandagan, represents the Aga Khan Studs, aiming to be the first French-trained winner since Triptych in 1987. Andrew Balding's See The Fire, a 12-length winner of the Middleton Stakes over course and distance earlier in the season, is another with strong claims. Birr Castle, supplemented last week, is set to play the role of pacemaker for Ombudsman. Seven go to post in the Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes, where dual Derby winner Lambourn is the standout. O'Brien's colt faces three stablemates in Mount Kilimanjaro, Stay True and Thrice, while Paddy Twomey's Carmers, the unbeaten Queen's Vase winner, could give him plenty to think about and Dante winner Pride Of Arras aims to bounce back after being gelded. Coolmore and Godolphin face off in the Tattersalls Acomb Stakes, with Italy and Distant Storm respectively in a field of eight.
