OH THIS IS US edges this at the weights and can be forgiven a below par effort at Ascot recently given he had little chance in the Group 1 Queen Anne. He had earlier gone close in Listed company at Windsor and can confirm running with fourth-placed Mr Owen. The latter is penalised for a listed success last season while Gabrial and Zhui Feng were both well beaten in the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot last time with the former making most appeal of that pair having won this in 2016.
Mr Owen (USA) 20-1 (9-0) Head slightly on one side as gates opened and blindfold off late, slowly away, held up in rear, ridden over 2f out, no impression, 5th of 7, 6 1/2l behind D'bai (9-0) at Haydock 7f Grp 3 stks (1) gf in Jun.
Gabrial (IRE) 16-1 (9-5) Slowly into stride, behind most of way, 22nd of 30, 23 3/4l behind Settle For Bay (9-1) at Ascot 1m hcp (2) gf in Jun.
Oh This Is Us (IRE) 66-1 (9-0) Held up, ridden 2f out, never a factor, 11th of 15, 5 1/4l behind Accidental Agent (9-0) at Ascot 1m Grp 1 stks (1) gf in Jun.
Zhui Feng (IRE) 20-1 (9-10) Raced far side, chased group leader until 3f out, weakened over 2f out, 23rd of 30, 24 1/4l behind Settle For Bay (9-1) at Ascot 1m hcp (2) gf in Jun.
Tupi (IRE) 16-1 (9-1) Slowly into stride, raced towards far side, always behind, 24th of 28, 10 1/4l behind Bacchus (9-6) at Ascot 6f hcp stks (2) gf in Jun.
