What happened in the King Charles III Stakes last year?
BRADSELL had failed to build on last year’s Coventry win in three subsequent starts but May’s third in the Commonwealth Cup trial over 6f at the course suggested he retained most of his ability and he proved well suited by this first try at 5f. Highfield Princess couldn’t get past the horse half her age, however, being inconvenienced by the intimidation she suffered in the last 100yds but by no means an unlucky loser. Annaf improved again to finish third with Twilight Calls, runner-up 12 months ago, likely to have finished on the heels of the first two had he not been stopped in his tracks when making headway.
