Gordon Stakes winner  Mogul  is among a field of eight declared for the  Sky Bet  Great Voltigeur Stakes at  York  on Wednesday. The Aidan O’Brien-trained colt had been slightly disappointing on his first two starts this term in the King Edward VII Stakes and the Derby, but returned to form with victory over Highland Chief at Goodwood. Paul Cole’s charge renews rivalry as does the third home that day, the Mark Johnston-trained Subjectivist. Pyledriver, winner of the King Edward VII Stakes, bids to get back to winning ways after having no luck in the Derby. Trainer William Muir opted to go to the Knavesmire rather than travel to Germany for the Preis von Europa last weekend....                        Andrew Nelis Racing 

MOGUL  continues to be backed for the Derby despite his defeat in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot. The full-brother to Japan is Epsom-bound on Saturday and he's been backed into 7/1 from 12s in the past week despite his fourth behind Pyledriver two weeks ago. Paddy Power spokesman Paul Binfield said: “Mogul was backed at 50/1 before his debut last year and again afterwards despite being well beaten. He’s sure to come on a pile for his defeat in the King Edward VII Stakes which is bad news for us as he’s a significant ante post loser."
