Marcel sprang the upset in the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster yesterday, 24 October 2015, giving Andrea Atzeni his third consecutive victory in the race - having won it with Kingston Hill and Elm Park the previous two years.

Johannes Vermeer and Seamie Heffernan finished second, favoured Foundation and Frankie Dettori third. Full result here.

I fell in love with Marcel the first time I read about him earlier this week. I sure hope he is having a great season next year.

Roger Varian’s stablestar, 2014 St Leger winner Kingston Hill, has suffered a setback. He has injured a leg and will miss the first half of the season.

The trainer announced on 29 March 2015 that Kingston Hill “will miss the first half of the season due to a setback. He has sustained a superficial injury to his left fore. He is sound but sore ... He has an area of significant bruising and inflammation which will take time to settle. It goes without saying that this is an early season blow as he looks so well and has been training better than ever.”

He will miss the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh in May as well as the Coronation Cup at Epsom in June. "We will now target the top middle-distance races later in the season with all roads leading back to Longchamp in October for a another crack at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe."

KINGSTON HILL will not take in next Saturday's Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot, with trainer Roger Varian of the opinion the race comes too soon after the colt's exertions in the Arc.
