Other factors

There have been only three winning favourites in the last 35 years –True Panache in 1989, Yeast in 1996 and Forgotten Voice in 2009.

Only three of the last ten winners were drawn in single figures, while 2022 winner Dark Shift was the only one drawn between stalls 12 and 20.

Four winners wore some form of headgear.  

What happened in the Royal Hunt Cup last year?

down

JIMI HENDRIX, back in trip and back on a sound surface, pulled a long way clear of those in his group (next best finished 12th overall, 9l away), looking much better than the bare form. Sonny Liston, stepped up a fair way on his reappearance form in the first-time blinkers, beating everything on his side. Awaal, back in third whose best efforts have been with plenty of give in the ground, ran well considering the going was probably quick enough for his liking. Aerion Power posting another solid effort and shapes as though he’ll be worth another try over 1m2f.
