Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 10, 2021 Journalists Share Posted July 10, 2021 There was very little on form between the main protagonists for Saturday's G2 Summer Mile at Ascot, but one who did have some play in his profile was Tilsit (First Defence) and the Juddmonte homebred duly made that class edge tell to prevail for a career-best success. Last seen finishing a head second to Skalleti (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}) in the G1 Prix d'Ispahan over an extra furlong and 55 yards at ParisLongchamp May 30, the 4-1 favourite followed Century Dream (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}) wide of the other runners throughout the early stages and stuck close as that stalwart kicked for home at the top of the straight. Taking until the furlong pole to master his veteran rival, the homebred who had won last year's G3 Thoroughbred S. at this trip was driven out by Kieran Shoemark to score by a 3/4 of a length, with Al Suhail (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) a length behind in third.
