Charlie Appleby’s colt picked up the bronze medal at Epsom Downs back in June before landing duel Group 1 successes at the Curragh and Paris Longchamp, respectively, and heads the betting for September’s showpiece event in Yorkshire on Saturday 11th.
18 contenders remain in total, including Mojo Star who picked up second spot in Surrey two months ago ahead of the aforementioned Godolphin three-year-old and shed his maiden tag at Newbury last time out with a facile victory.

“But he’s a relaxed horse, and he gives the impression that he will stay.”
