'We haven't lost any faith in him' - trainer quotes for the Doncaster showpiece

Roger Varian, trainer of Eldar Eldarov
We haven’t lost any faith in him and he can have a bit of time now. It was a long trip to Paris in hot weather and a tough race on fast ground. I’m not fully committed to whether he’ll run beforehand or not but he could conceivably go straight to the Leger.

Charlie Fellowes, trainer of Grand Alliance
He did a piece of work last week that was pretty good and he'll do one more piece at the weekend. Then the plan is probably to head to the Gordon Stakes next Thursday at Goodwood. On breeding he shouldn't be getting anywhere near a mile and a half, let alone a mile and six. But there's absolutely no doubt he gets a mile and a half, and every time he’s run over a mile and a half he's looked like he'd be even better over further.

George Boughey, trainer of Hoo Ya Mal
The first target is probably the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood. It's not set in stone, but it's the logical place for a horse who's been runner-up in a Derby. His work's been pleasing us and William Buick sat on him yesterday morning so working back from Goodwood is the first plan.
