Gordon Lord in Deauville contention again Britain and Ireland were responsible for eight of the 14 possible runners at the latest entry stage for the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville on Sunday. Gordon Lord Byron finished third in the Maurice de Gheest two years ago and is likely to try again for County Tipperary trainer Tom Hogan. Compatriots Tracey Collins and Evanna McCutcheon may saddle Majestic Queen and Maarek respectively - though the latter holds entries closer to home in the coming days. The star attraction is likely to be Muhaarar , the Commonwealth Cup and July Cup winner who has already been declared on track for the race by trainer Charlie Hills. Fellow Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum-owned colt Adaay finished seventh on his last outing in the Commonwealth Cup, having previously claimed the scalp of Limato at Haydock, and could also cross the Channel for the William Haggas operation. Richard Hannon has stated his intention to run Jersey Stakes disappointment Ivawood at Deauville, with stablemate Coulsty still in contention. David O'Meara accomplished a terrific result in France last weekend when Amazing Maria defeated a strong field in the Prix Rothschild and may return to Deauville with Watchable. Esoterique was only a length behind Solow in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot and looks an obvious danger to the raiding party with Andre Fabre set to let the mare to run. Robert Le Diable finished second behind Interception in the Wokingham Stakes in June but takes a big jump in the Group One over six and a half furlongs.
