Leger aim for Verdon Red Verdon will be aimed at the Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster in the autumn after his honourable run at Saint-Cloud on Thursday. Ed Dunlop's colt was supplemented for the Grand Prix de Paris - he was also added to the line-up for the Derby and its Irish equivalent - and was only beaten a length and a quarter into second by surprise winner Mont Ormel. All roads now lead towards the St Leger on September 10 - the final Classic of the domestic Flat season - but Red Verdon is likely to first run in the Betway Great Voltigeur Stakes at York next month. Dunlop told The Guardian: "We were planning to sit in the middle but we ended up last and he took off from a long way back. "In fairness, it looked like it was still going to be enough to win, and then he just flattened out a little. "He hasn't won a Group One yet, but, the way he's going, he will win a Group One. "We will put him away now and train him for the St Leger. "We will probably go for the Voltigeur. We've finally outdone the supplementary fee and he's beginning to prove that he deserves to be in this company. "He made up a lot of ground and we'd have liked to win, but he's getting closer."
