Pressed for most of the 4000-metre race by Emily Dickinson (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) and Frankie Dettori, the 7-year-old gelding dropped the hammer when cued by Doyle 500 metres from home, which burned off his main rival inside the final quarter mile. Moon Wolf (Fr) (Intello {Ger}) launched a mild bid later in the straight, but the 9-10 favourite skipped away to win by four lengths over that foe. Run For Oscar (Ire) (Oscar {Ire}) was another 3 1/2 lengths back in third.

It was a dramatically different tale than occurred during the G2 Doncaster Cup S. earlier this month for the Alan King trainee, as he had fought Doyle for much of that contest, but gutted out the victory in soft going that day once given his head. The Cadran was the third top-level score for the Singula Partnership-owned bay, who took the 2021 edition of this race and the Goodwood Cup that same year.

King, who did not make the journey to Paris, said, “I had a busy morning at home and I've just walked into Newmarket, but obviously I'm thrilled.

“I spoke to Hollie this morning and we thought there wasn't going to be much pace in the race. We said if that was the case we'd let him bowl along in front and he obviously loved it.

“He was more settled than he was at Doncaster and I think that was firstly because that run just knocked the freshness off him and second he just settled well in front today.

“We were struggling with him in the early part of the year, but the little wind operation we gave him as clearly helped and it looks like he's right back to his best.”

What a performance, what a duo

“He's a special horse and all credit to everyone at Barbury Castle,” said Doyle, who was winning for the 10th time on the dour stayer. “He's trained by a super trainer and it's great for Alan to get him back to where he is, winning the Cadran for a second time. My mum and dad are here and I don't think my dad has seen me ride a Group 1 winner, so it's extra special.”

A winner of his third G2 British Champions Long Distance Cup once again at Ascot to end his season, Trueshan was second in the Listed Further Flight S., and reported home fourth in the G3 Sagaro S. in May. After wind surgery, the Doncaster Cup was his first start since. He will target a fourth consecutive victory in the Long Distance Cup next month.

“The good thing is we have a fresh horse for the backend of the season and obviously we hope to go back to Ascot in three weeks' time to win that race for a fourth time,” King added of the Didier Blot-bred Trueshan. “I'll give him an entry in the [G1] Prix Royal-Oak the following week just in case he needs that extra time, but Ascot would be the plan.”

Pedigree Notes

The leading runner by Chapel Stud resident Planteur, Trueshan is one of six stakes winners for the stallion, who also has G2 Gran Premio del Jockey Club hero Road To Arc (Fr). Out of the winning mare Shao Line, the €8,000 Osarus La Teste Sale yearling turned 31,000gns Tattersalls Guineas Breeze-Up and HIT alum is a half-brother to four winners including Anecdotique (Fr) (Enrique {GB}), whose son True Marvel (Fr) (Masked Marvel {GB}) was second in the G1 Sydney Cup. Shao Line's latest foals are a pair of fillies by Planteur and Golden Horde (Ire) born in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

“Our COVID-19 protocols are kept under constant review,” said a BHA spokesman. “The existing protocols around elite sportspeople and essential support staff–which includes jockeys, trainers and stable staff–travelling to countries with self-isolation restrictions allow for the period of self-isolation to be reduced to a minimum of seven days upon completion of the necessary testing.

“We are currently looking at these protocols with a view to making a submission to Public Health England that they might be adjusted, which may include a full exemption from self-isolation for the purposes of training and competition if a strict testing regime and rigorous travel and separation protocols are adhered to.

“We will look to provide further updates in the next 24 hours.”
