Verdict

COURAGE MON AMI has the potential to be one of the best stayers of recent years after winning the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot on only his fourth career start. He had Coltrane and Emily Dickinson behind in second and fourth on that occasion and can confirm his superiority over that pair and stretch his unbeaten record to 5.

  1. COURAGE MON AMI
  2. COLTRANE (IRE)
  3. EMILY DICKINSON (IRE)
