Key trends
Other factors
Three winners contested the Coventry the previous season, finishing 125. One had won the Queen Mary, while another landed the Norfolk.
Three winners had run in the 2,000 Guineas and one in the French Guineas (all comfortably beaten).
INISHERIN produced a career-best effort to land this three-year-old Group 1 sprint. Kevin Ryan’s colt ran well for a long way when sixth in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket and confirmed the impression he would be better over sprint distances when winning the Sandy Lane at Haydock on his next start. He was supplemented for this race after that success and it was a decision that paid off. Tom Eaves’s mount travelled nicely and picked up well to beat Lake Forest by two and a quarter lengths. Subsequent British Champions Sprint winner Kind Of Blue was back in fourth.
