Ialysos on Nunthorpe trail

A return to Group One company could be on the cards for Ialysos after he bounced back to form with a determined success in the Coral Charge at Sandown on Saturday.The five-year-old arrived from Greece with a big reputation but after scoring on his first start for Luca Cumani at Haydock, he failed to get competitive in the Golden Jubilee. He showed that run to be all wrong when getting the better of Triple Aspect by half a length and a trip to York is on the radar."It was very pleasing as we wanted him to win a race after what happened at Ascot where he was a bit of a disappointment after the way things panned out and everything else," said Cumani."He did it well and Christophe (Lemaire) gave him a very good ride. The Nunthorpe is a possibility but it's a long way away and whether he has a race before then, I'm not sure yet. We'll have a think."There are a few options for him but we will just have to see as we haven't made a plan yet."Cumani also had news of his other Sandown winner Acrostic, for whom a trip to Glorious Goodwood is on the cards.He came out on top in a thrilling finish to the Coral Challenge and the totesport Mile looks set to be his next port of call."Acrostic did it very well and his plan now is to go to Goodwood for the mile handicap there," the Italian handler added."Hopefully the handicapper won't put him up too much, but you never know."
