Prince Imperial returned an easy winner back on the all-weather over 2m at Chelmsford but was well beaten behind third-placed Smart Champion at Goodwood before that. Autumn War also drops back down in distance having finished in front of Dreamweaver at Newcastle last time but C’EST NO MOUR won over today’s trip at Goodwood last month. He looked good value for more than the official winning margin and can confirm running with Amazing Red.
