Ratings Update: Epsom's Derby Festival 6f2gh
Tony McFadden provides the Timeform ratings reaction from Epsom's Derby Festival. 2b6563
Last season's St Leger winner Jan Brueghel (128 from 119p) had suffered the first defeat of his career on his reappearance in the Alleged Stakes over an inadequate mile and a quarter at the Curragh in March, but he proved a different proposition with that run under his belt and upped to a mile and a half in the Coronation Cup at Epsom.
Jan Brueghel had looked awkward under pressure on his return to action, but he showed a willing attitude at Epsom and found plenty to fend off high-class rival Calandagan with the pair pulling well clear. That performance earned Jan Brueghel a Timeform rating of 128 which marks him out as the t-highest-rated horse in Europe along with last season's King George winner Goliath, who didn't need to be at his best to win a Group 3 at Longchamp on Sunday.
A performance rating of 128 is the highest in the Coronation Cup since Ghaiyyath ed 131 when beating Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck in the rearranged version at Newmarket in 2020. Jan Brueghel's performance is rated as the best in a Coronation Cup at Epsom since Postponed achieved the same rating in 2016.
