Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 18, 2024 Journalists Posted May 18, 2024 As expected, Cheveley Park Stud's colours were in the winner's enclosure following Newbury's G1 Al Shaqab Lockinge S. on Saturday but it was aboard the Gosdens' 22-1 shot Audience (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}–Ladyship {GB}, by Oasis Dream {GB}) who uber-excelled in his task of pacemaking for Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}). Labelled a TDN Rising Star at two, the homebred grandson of the Thompsons' 2006 Lockinge heroine Peeress (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) had shown what he could do when left alone on the lead with ample space to express himself in last year's G3 Criterion S. at Newmarket, but on the whole on the formbook was a shade below the best here. Relishing being untethered by Robert Havlin, the 5-year-old had cracked every rival bar Charyn (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) heading to the furlong pole and not long after he had drawn any sting remaining from that rival en route to an emphatic 1 3/4-length success, with Witch Hunter (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) 6 1/2 lengths away in third. Inspiral, the 2-1 favourite, was a well-beaten fourth while Big Rock (Fr) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}) was only sixth having stumbled leaving the stalls and having tried to lay up too close to the killer pace.
