Mizzou out to go one better
The talented stayer will face a number of his old rivals at Doncaster while the sole Irish representative will be Clondaw Warrior from the Willie Mullins stable
ASCOT Gold Cup runner-up Mizzou stars among nine horses declared for the 250th Doncaster Cup on Friday.
Luca Cumani's talented stayer found only the brilliant Order Of St George too good at Royal Ascot following his win in the Sagaro Stakes at the Berkshire course in April.
The five-year-old will attempt to go one better on his return to action in the Group Two contest over two and a quarter miles.
He will be re-opposed by the David Simcock-trained Sheikhzayedroad,Burmese for Marcus Tregoning and Peter Niven's Clever Cookie.
Roger Charlton saddles Quest For More, who bounced back to his best with victory in the Lonsdale Cup at York last month.
Clondaw Warrior, second to Pallasator 12 months ago, is the sole Irish challenger.
Willie Mullins' admirable dual-purpose performer has been kept busy this summer with trips to Royal Ascot, Galway and Arlington.
Completing the line-up are Curbyourenthusiasm, Sweet Selection and St Michel, who represents last year's winning trainer Sir Mark Prescott.
The most notable of the eight withdrawals at the 48-hour final declaration stage was Ed Dunlop's Trip To Paris, who won the Gold Cup in 2015.
