One of Francis-Henri Graffard's clutch of top-class geldings, Sibayan (Blame) delivered more Group 1 glory to the stable in Sunday's Preis von Europa at Cologne.

Sent off the 2-5 favourite for the 12-furlong feature, having mastered a pair of Group 2 tests in ParisLongchamp's Prix Maurice de Nieuil and the Grand Prix de Deauville, the Aga Khan Studs homebred was made to wait patiently by Mickael Barzalona throughout the early stages.

Swooping powerfully inside the final furlong, he surged to the line to record a 2 1/2-length success from the seasonal debutante Tiffany (Farhh), with the home team's Columbus (Oasis Dream) a nose behind in third.
