Juvenile form was put under the spotlight more than ever coming into this year’s Commonwealth Cup after the traditional 3-y-o trials had been disrupted, the Sandy Lane cancelled and the Pavilion Stakes less informative for moving from Ascot to Newcastle, and it was one of the 6 in the line-up who’d got to a smart level at 2 who came out on top, Richmond winner Golden Horde putting in a likeable front-running performance down the near rail, though unfortunately it wasn’t a completely satisfactory race, 6 of the first 7 home coming from ‘his’ group, those on the far side, which included the market leaders Lope Y Fernandez and Pierre Lapin, at a clear disadvantage, though the latter was beaten by more than his position.
