What happened in the Hardwicke Stakes last year?

PYLEDRIVER hadn’t been seen since winning the King George the previous year, reportedly suffered a couple of setbacks after, but showed he retains all his ability despite having taken a keen grip from an early stage. West Wind Blows looks an improved performer since his gelding operation, stepping up on the form of his recent 1m2f Longchamp Group 3 win here with a second. Changingoftheguard was disputing second position when badly hampered by the winner inside the final 110yds.
