Item delivered for Andrew Balding and the sponsors to land a 10-1 surprise in the Juddmonte International at York – with the big two of Constitution River and Ombudsman only third and fourth respectively.

Hawk Mountain rather unexpectedly set the early pace, with stablemate Constitution River tucked in keenly behind him and odds-on favourite Ombudsman at the rear under William Buick, kept company by another Aidan O’Brien runner, Action.
