David O’Meara’s Mondialiste and Custom Cut set for the Ganton Stakes at York on Saturday
Mondialiste was last seen finishing fourth in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes while Custom Cut was slightly unlucky when running in the Diomed Stakes at Epsom on his last start
DAVID O'MEARA runs both Mondialiste and Custom Cut as he looks to grab glory in the Ganton Stakes at York.
Mondialiste drops in class and distance after finishing fourth in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown last month.
O'Meara said: "Mondialiste is in good form and ran well in the Brigadier Gerard to finish fourth.
"Coming back to a mile shouldn't be a problem for him - he's got plenty of boot for that.
"Custom Cut was a bit unfortunate in the Diomed at Epsom last time. He met a few traffic problems and might have finished fourth or fifth but for that.
"He won nicely in Ireland the time before that and hopefully he'll run well, too."
O'Meara's fellow Yorkshire-based trainer Richard Fahey saddles the admirable Gabrial.
