Kool wins Nobel prize
Stepping up in trip following successive wins over five furlongs at Leicester and Windsor, the 7-2 shot was a little keen at the head of affairs but stuck to his guns admirably when pressed by Toscanini to take the prize by a head under Pat Dobbs.
Aidan O’Brien’s War Envoy was all the rage for the Listed contest as the 8-15 favourite following his winning course and distance debut at the end of April, but while he travelled sweetly on the heels of the leaders for a long way, he did not find much for pressure and was slightly disappointing in third.
