Age no burden for Cavalryman

A resurgent Cavalryman met the specialist demands of the Sussex Downs better than his opponents as he led home Ahzeemah in an Artemis Goodwood Cup one-two for trainer Saeed bin Suroor at Goodwood yesterday.

The same could not be said for Queen Elizabeth’s 2-1 favourite Estimate, who has finished first and second in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot but was a bitterly disappointing last.

Her chances of heading to Australia for an historic Melbourne Cup challenge now look remote.
