Ascot Race 3 - Longines Sagaro Stakes (Group 3) (Gold Cup Trial)

COLTRANE (1) seeks third success in this contest winning last year and in 2023. Trained by Andrew Balding and last seen finishing third 2.5L behind a noted performer in the G1 Prix Du Cadran. Could prove good enough to make a successful return. The improving DIVINE COMEDY (4) lost little in defeat when denied a nose attempting the Listed Further Flight Stakes at Nottingham on reappearance. Main danger under Ryan Moore. YASHIN (2) rates next best following a wind op ahead of his first start for new trainer Michael Bell. FEIGNING MADNESS (3) rounds out the quartet.
