Dermot Weld: he has opted for Paris to give his potential star Knight To King another step up the educational ladder. Photograph: Alan Crowhurst/Getty ImagesDermot Weld has opted for Paris to give his potential star Knight To King another step up the educational ladder on Saturday. The regally-bred colt will line up in the Group Two Prix Eugene Adam at Saint Cloud, a E130,000 contest due off at 5.05pm Irish time and live on Sky.
Chris Hayes again takes the mount on the son of Kingman and Irish Guineas heroine Nightime after he earned rave reviews with a winning debut at Gowran last month. After the half-brother to Group One winners Ghaiyyath and Zhukova won by 7½ lengths, Weld commented: “I think he’s pretty similar to them. They all progress and get better with age. They are all very good. Hopefully he’ll follow in their footsteps.
Knight To King’s four opponents include Godolphin’s Bold Act, third in Royal Ascot’s Hampton Court Stakes, and the supplemented local horse Maniatic, who was runner-up to the subsequent French Derby winner Ace Impact in May. There is no Irish runner in Saturday’s Group One Grand Prix De Saint-Cloud, for which last year’s Curragh Derby winner Westover is a warm favourite.
