Deauville Legend claims Great Voltigeur Stakes at York

Deauville Legend led home a one-three for trainer James Ferguson in the Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes at York.

It was stablemate and eventual third El Bodegon who looked likely to claim the spoils, hitting the front two furlongs out in the hands of Hollie Doyle, but Daniel Muscutt was tracking nicely and it was simply a case of when and not if for the talented gelding.

The ultra-consistent son of Sea The Stars has progressed rapidly through the ranks this season and following silver medals at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood, added this Group Two prize to the Bahrain Trophy he landed at Newmarket's July Festival earlier in the campaign.

Unable to run in the St Leger due to the fact he is a gelding, a trip to Australia for the Melbourne Cup could be an option for the winner.

The famous pink, green and white silks of Juddmonte were seen in the winner's enclosure on International Stakes day as Andrew Balding's Chaldean demonstrated his stamina reserves to land the Tattersalls Acomb Stakes.

A beaten favourite on debut, the talented son of Frankel thrived for a step up to seven furlongs to get off the mark on his second start and took the leap into Group Three company in his stride with a professional display on the Knavesmire.

Sent off at 7-2, Ryan Moore allowed his mount to stride on with the pace a sluggish one in the early exchanges and the duo dictated terms from then on, repelling the challenge of Irish raider Indestructible in the closing stages to hit the line strong.
