A race that usually acts as the decider among the 3-y-o miling colts before they take on their elders, that role lessened this year by the late start to the season, the Irish Guineas run only the previous weekend, the Guineas at Newmarket the weekend before that rather than a month earlier, the second and third from Newmarket nevertheless in the field, along with 3 other 2-y-o pattern winners and one going up in class after winning 3 from 3; the classic-placed pair seemed to run their race, but were comfortably outpointed by the unbeaten colt, the form well worth being positive about, for all that it was a messy affair which developed only in the straight, the Aidan O'Brien-trained trio sitting in front in the early stages, Royal Dornoch looking tricky and getting in the way, the stewards enquiring into the tactics adopted by his rider and noting explanations, as Threat's rider explained in the enquiry he didn't not want his mount to be jostled, which might cause his mount to race freely, thankfully the interference caused having less obvious impact on the outcome than it might have done.
