Pierre Royal в últimos огорах won bet365 Cambridgeshire в Ньюмаркет, став первым тренером из Ирландии, выигравшим этот забег этого века. Обучен Adrian Mc Guinness и ridden Mikey Sheehy, 33-1 narrowly defeated Jack Channon's Crest Of Fire, ridden Tom Marquand. Обе лошади пришли из far-side group, но Pierre Royal stalked Crest Of Fire throughout and surged late to win. Altareq finished third for Jim Goldie and Lauren Young, while favourite Gavriel placed fourth. Mc Guinness praised the horse's adaptability to better ground and credited Sheehy's tactical ride.

The decision to enter the race was made only last Monday, and the horse, purchased for 48,000 guineas, has proven consistent and low-maintenance. Mc Guinness highlighted Sheehy's skill, noting his previous success in the Galway Mile.
