York Group One next up for Telescope Telescope could get a second chance of lifting a Group One in the £800,000 Juddmonte International at York on Wednesday week. The talented four-year-old, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, will have a workout this Wednesday morning, but seems poised to drop back in trip on the Knavesmire. The dual Group Two winner over a mile and a half was swept aside by the brilliant filly Taghrooda in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot last month on his first attempt at the highest level. "It was a really good performance but, as they say, hats off to a brilliant filly who beat us," said Harry Herbert, racing manager for owners Highclere Thoroughbred Racing. "I think the likelihood is that he will run at York. We are hoping that will be the case. "We want to look at everything - ground, opposition, so we are not on the, 'Yes, he will run', but we are not far off that. "The horse is in very good form. Sir Michael wants to see his well-being this week, how he works and look at the weather forecast - we don't want to run him on soft ground. "A decision will be made later in the week."
