EXISTENT should be backed to shock favourite Winter Power in the Group 2 Cazoo Temple Stakes (3.45) at Haydock Park.
A one-time winner for John and Thady Gosden, Existent has thrived since joining Stuart Williams, showing improvement to lift all-weather handicaps at Chelmsford City and Wolverhampton in the first two months of the year. The four-year-old son of Kingman met with defeat at Lingfield Park and Newmarket on his next two outings.
Existent roared back to form with another personal best when going under by a neck to Khaadem in the Group 3 Palace House Stakes – with Twilight Calls (fifth), Arecibo (seventh), Mondammej (eighth) and Came From The Dark (10th) in arrears – on the 2,000 Guineas undercard at Headquarters three weeks ago.
