Third in Grade 1 company at Aintree in the spring, HIDDENVALLEY LAKE ran right up to his best after 8 months off when runner-up in the Long Walk at Ascot, that despite the race not really going his way. Still low-mileage as an 8-y-o, he can confirm the promise of that run and come out on top, with veteran Asterion Forlonge and Buddy One fancied to pose the chief threats.
