French Derby winner Study Of Man (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) will step up his preparations for the G1 QIPCO Irish Champion S. by running at Deauville next week. Trainer Pascal Bary has picked the G2 Prix Guillaume d'Ornano as the ideal stepping stone towards the Leopardstown highlight next month. A son of Deep Impact, Study Of Man has only been beaten once in his four-race career, by Martyn Meade's Chilean (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}) in the G3 Prix La Force at Longchamp in April.
“He will run next Wednesday, Aug. 15,” Bary told At The Races.
“The horse is well, he's working well and should do well. He'll run in the Prix Guillaume d'Ornano as a preparation for the Irish Champion S. [on Sept. 15].”
