Goodwood assignment for Ialysos

Luca Cumani's smart sprinter Ialysos is set to bid for more Group-race glory at Glorious Goodwood on Thursday week.Dubbed the 'Greek Freak' after beating everything put in front of him in his native land, the five-year-old made a winning start for his new trainer at Haydock before finishing down the field in the Golden Jubilee at Royal Ascot.He proved that Royal form to be all wrong when bouncing back to form at Sandown last time and providing conditions suit, he is likely to have one more outing before a tilt at the Group One Nunthorpe Stakes at York (August 21).Cumani said: "Ialysos is fine and the plan is for him to go to Goodwood next week for the King George Stakes (Audi Stakes). We'll keep an eye on the ground but as long as it's not soft it looks like he'll be going there."The Italian also had news of smart filly Fantasia, who proved a bitter disappointment in the Prix de Diane at Chantilly last month.Cumani continued: "Fantasia is having a mid-season break and we will be seeing her again later on in the year. She had travel problems when going to France last time and we have no plans for her at the moment."
