The Hardwicke continues to attract Group 1 horses - last year's winner returning to the meeting 12 months on to land the Prince of Wales's Stakes, while this year's race contained horses who'd won the Derby and the Coronation Cup on their most recent start - yet, rather like the year before, the contest overall was a bit underwhelming, particularly once Masar had severely compromised his chance in the very early stages, Defoe not needing to replicate his recent career best to prevail, his biggest challenge coming from what had seemed an unlikely source, who was arguably a little unlucky given he was affected by Masar's bad early stumble.
