Were have to see how the form stands up but it certainly sent out a message that he could be a real threat this season.

Ran to RPR125+ the other day, putting 9L between himself and the 2nd in the final 300 yards. Could surely have won by even further had he been asked sooner, judginhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/27571529/st-nic-to-win-the-rayal-ascot-gold-cup?post_id=495053689#495053689No need to step him up in distance when he looks capable of beating the best over 12F.

Runner-up Allied Powers is rated 111 and the third Harris Tweed (a previous winner at Chester) is rated 112.

I would want to see him run again before considering him an Eclipse or King George contender. For one thing worried he might be a bit of a head case.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/27571529/st-nic-to-win-the-rayal-ascot-gold-cup?post_id=494877073#494877073The horses he beat yesterday were poor, the pace was uneven, the track is a funny one.

As far as targets go, they'll surely want to try to bag a 10f group 1 though. Champion Stakes possibly? Although that might be too close to the BC/Arc.
