Twelve months ago, Leading Light was becoming the last to win the Queen=s Vase while it enjoyed Group 3 status, showing the kind of battling qualities that he was to become famed for in a matter of weeks. Not short of pace, as he had previously proven when successful over 10 furlongs in a decent Navan conditions event and the G3 Gallinule S. at The Curragh in May, he returned after a summer break to beat the G1 Oaks winner Talent (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) in Doncaster=s St Leger before being allowed to take his chance in the G1 Prix de l=Arc de Triomphe. With Gerald Mosse on board, he blew the start and never looked likely to get into contention on the testing ground, winding up 12th in that Longchamp showcase. But all the buzz was back as he returned to defy a penalty in impressive style in the Vintage Crop. Allowed time to cross over and join the group from his wide draw here, he was soon perfectly positioned in fourth, with Estimate covered up down on his inner and Missunited happy setting the pace under Jim Crowley.
