Since Yeats there hasn't really been a consistently high-class stayer in Europe and it's not a surprise that the form of the 2013 Ascot Gold Cup falls short of the standards, Estimate's rating to win it the lowest since Kayf Tara's victory in 2000; despite a big field the pace was steady and the race only started to take shape in earnest from the home turn, which failed to get them strung out, and some of those that finished down the field are flattered.
