Gorse finished third in the field of 11, followed by Hot Tin Roof.Bold Edge's previous group wins had both came last year at Ascot, where he won the Gardner Merchant Diadem Stakes (Eng-II) and the Cork and Orrery Stakes (Eng-II). He finished fourth in this year's renewal of the Cork and Orrery, in which Lend A Hand finished third. Sunday's win improves his career mark to eight wins from 26 starts.
