SUMMER AIMS TO SHINE

Unbeaten Richmond Stakes winner Endless Summer heads a field of six declared today for the Prix Morny at Deauville.

John Gosden has booked Olivier Peslier to ride the colt, whom he has warned will miss the Group One event if the ground becomes too soft.

The two other British raiders are Richard Hannon`s impressive Ascot scorer Red Magic (Richard Hughes) and Brian Meehan`s Windsor winner Bad As I Wannabe (Gerald Mosse).

Aidan O`Brien, who has won the last two runnings with Orpen and Fasliyev, fields Richmond Stakes second Pyrus (Michael Kinane).

Sole French-based runner is Godolphin`s unbeaten July Stakes winner Noverre, trained at Evry by David Loder, who will be ridden by Frankie Dettori.

Only filly in the line-up is Mirco Demuro`s mount Rolly Polly, unbeaten Italian winner of the Prix Robert Papin in whom Daniel Wildenstein has acquired a 50% stake.

Endless Summer, who will miss Sunday`s Prix Morny should the going at Deauville become unsuitably soft, holds analternative engagement in the Scottish Equitable Gimcrack Stakes.

John Gosden`s colt is among 17 acceptors for the Group Two contest on the Knavesmire, along with fellow Deauville acceptors Noverre and Pyrus.

The last-named`s trainer Aidan O`Brien has kept his options open, also having Black Minnaloushe, Juniper, King Charlemagne and Modigliani in the contest.

O`Brien sent out Mull Of Kintyre to win the contest 12 months ago.

David Barron`s Media Mogul, who found Noverre a short-head too good in the July Stakes on his last start, may be the North`s best chance of keeping the prize at home.
