James Fanshawe’s charge has won four times over this course and distance, including victory in this Group Two heat two years ago.
Cesare was having his first outing in the best part of the year in the Royal meeting’s curtain-raiser and he put up arguably a career-best effort to chase home a race-fit Paco Boy, with Aqlaam and Main Aim behind.
He ought to strip fitter now and, with conditions right up his street, it would be a major surprise if he is not there or thereabouts at the finish.
