Without the zip he showed in the May 18 G2 Yorkshire Cup, but with all the gameness he displayed when following up in the G1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot June 21 and the July 31 G1 Goodwood Cup, the 4-11 favourite sat off the early pace and looked in trouble for a spell midstraight. Sticking to his guns to overhaul Count Octave (GB) (Frankel {GB}) approaching the furlong pole, the chestnut earned a 1 1/2-length success to provide his hedge-fund trading and investing owner-breeder with the best kind of return. AImpossible,@ Nielsen said, referring to the realisation of the bonus dream.

From the more-than-able Bryan Smart stable, the journeyman sprinter edged out the filly Mabs Cross (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}) by the kind of margin that took the judge several minutes to identify. Always up with the furious pace under Graham Lee, the 7-year-old forged ahead inside the final furlong as Shadwell=s 4-5 favourite backed out of it as he had in 2017 and it was the fellow Northern-trained Mabs Cross who emerged as the danger. She headed him near the line, but the 40-1 shot, whose half-brother Tangerine Trees (GB) (Mind Games {GB}) captured the 2011 G1 Prix de l=Abbaye for this stable, had a fraction of a nostril down on the line first. Blue Point (Ire) (Shamardal) was 2 1/4 lengths back in third as he mastered Battaash late on in a repeat of their Royal meeting encounter. AI used to come here as a kid with my mum and dad and to have any winner here is great, but to win a Group 1 at it is the pinnacle of my career,@ an emotional Smart said.

PLEGASTELL - Supplemented for this. Daughter of Planteur and has won both her outings at Saint Malo and latterly a Listed event at Craon after missing the break. Respected longshot. 2. FEE HISTORIQUE - Remains a maiden after four runs. Runner up in the middle two of those but only seventh here on her latest start. Would seem to have absolutely zero chance today and is a candidate for last. 3. MARIETA - Daughter of Siyouni has three starts. Runner up on debut at Maisons Laffitte before going back there to win. Big step up second in Gr2 at Deauville in August. Big shout. 4. NUNZIA - Was successful on debut at Marseille Borely in July. Runner up next time in a Listed at Vichy the following month. Fifth in bunch finish behind Savarin last time so more required. 5. BIONIC WOMAN - Promising runner up on debut at Deauville in August before a smooth victory last time out at Saint Cloud. This a big step up in class but trained by Andre Fabre, an absolute legend of the game. 6. FLIGHTY LADY - A debut third here in July which was followed by a win at Deauville the following month. Back here in September to finish third in a Gr3 behind Savarin in a tight enough finish. 7. KENLOVA - Won on debut at Chantilly back in May. Ran only in Gr3 events since. Finished third in the first two of those before close sixth behind Savarin here last time.
