There's no pre-eminent stayer around this year, Forgotten Rules the pretender to the crown but coming up short on the big day here, the most prized staying race therefore very much up for grabs after Brown Panther [injured] and Clever Cookie [ground] hadn't made it, a pair who'd have been right in the thick of it given the standard, a little lower than it usually takes to win; the ordinary renewal was borne out by the bunched finish for a Gold Cup, plenty having their chance, but that was also a consequence of the way the race was run, less than true, the pace steadying once the field had settled into position and not winding up until around 5f out, meaning space was at a premium once the rush for home began, and the fact Trip To Paris had a much smoother passage than Kingfisher was probably the difference between first and second on the day.
