Run in a quicker time than the Duke of Cambridge, last year’s Royal Hunt Cup was won by Dark Shift, who took his record at the track to four wins from six starts. Held up early, he came through the field travelling much the best under James McDonald, who was successful on day one of the meeting with Nature Strip, before being shaken up to lead in the final furlong. Intellogent ran a huge race off a big weight at 40-1 to take second.
