GERYON has been going the right way this year, bagging a Leopardstown Group 3 last month before beaten only by a fellow progressive 3-y-o at Goodwood, so he is taken to resume winning ways back down in trip. Persica has been holding his form well this summer and could be the main danger, ahead of Archivist who resumed his progress on his latest outing.
