City Leader to Drop Back in Trip

City Leader will drop back in trip for his next outing, with two potential targets on the agenda.

The Brian Meehan-trained grey proved himself an exceptional juvenile, winning the Royal Lodge Stakes, and although he landed a Goodwood Listed race this season, the colt was disappointing in the King Edward VI Stakes at Royal Ascot on his most recent start.

Joint-owner Ben Sangster said: “There is a dual-edged plan but we are keen to try him at 10 furlongs again. We are looking either at the Prix Eugene Adam at Maisons-Laffitte or the Skybet Stakes at York at about the same time.”
