Overseas Expert Column by Bill Esdaile When YEATS won his fourth Gold Cup in 2009, few thought the feat would ever be matched, but in STRADIVARIUS we have a horse who is fancied to do just that. And in all honesty, that looks a more than likely outcome.

He did what he had to when winning the G3 Sagaro Stakes over 3,190m on his seasonal reappearance and given he’s beaten most of his rivals here before, he’s the most likely winner.

One small concern would be if the ground got very testing as he has struggled on a soft surface before, most notably in the G2 British Champions Long Distance Cup over 3,190m at Ascot last October.

The horse that won that race by over seven lengths, TRUESHAN, is very much the new kid on the block in the staying division and he is clearly deserving of a go at this.

He ran well in defeat on his first start this term in the G3 Ormonde Stakes at Chester behind JAPAN, where he was giving weight away and the trip was also on the short side. Alan King’s runner needs to prove he stays this far, but everything suggests he will.

Trainer Mark Johnston has a very good record in the race, and he’ll be hoping his SUBJECTIVIST can give him a fourth victory.

The son of has really thrived since being stepped up in trip, as shown by his two most recent victories at G1 and G2 level. He won the Prix Royal-Oak over 3,100m at ParisLongchamp by two lengths and then showed that was no fluke by bolting up in the Dubai Gold Cup over 3,200m. Again, this is a step into the unknown trip, but he’s improving all the time and seems to be versatile when it comes to ground.

SPANISH MISSION looks ready for a tilt at this after an impressive win in the G2 Yorkshire Cup Stakes over 2,771m. Extended trips seem to be much more to his liking these days as shown by a taking victory in the G2 Doncaster Cup over 3,579m last season, but he does need to improve now tackling G1 company.

TWILIGHT PAYMENT gave Joseph O’Brien one of his biggest days to date as a trainer when winning the G1 Melbourne Cup over 3,200m in 2020. He runs twice this season at Curragh over 2,000m and Leopardstown over 2,800m and has seemingly been outpaced on both occasions, so this test extra stamina test looks much more up his street.
