Observations on Saturday's European Racing Scene

ISOMER (Cape Blanco {Ire}) should be able to shed his maiden tag, having finished second to Cunco (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) at Newbury in May and ahead of that rival when in the same spot behind Churchill (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) in the Listed Chesham S. at Royal Ascot last month. Fitri Hay's chestnut faces 11 rivals, but none that could hold a candle to his previous efforts and it will be a major upset if he is not in the winner's spot.
