Formscan By Mark Nunan - MILITARY ORDER (2) hasn’t been seen since finishing third in a valuable contest in Bahrain last November, but Charlie Appleby’s horses are flying and the six-year-old goes well fresh. The Frankel gelding has a good record on synthetic surfaces. Charles Fort, related to AW winners, ran well in a Group 2 at Leopardstown last time and steps back up in trip for his first run on Polytrack. Geryon, also unraced on AW, faded tamely at York but was a Group 3 winner in July and his second to Enceladus at Goodwood was a smart effort. Alla Stella was a winner at Kempton and has plenty of placed form at this level.%0A%0A

Quotes on Geryon (IRE)
He was slow away. . He was unlucky in Navan and then he got blocked in the Curragh. If you look at him, a big, strapping, strong horse, he needed to grow up and he did.
