Vendor's Notes: The four-time winner boasts a Timeform rating of 95 following his most recent success in a two-mile handicap at Ascot last week. The three-year-old gelding by STUDY OF MAN travelled comfortably at the rear of the field throughout, before unleashing an electric turn of foot in the home straight to run down the long-time leader to win by a length.

Placed second on debut over seven furlongs at two, the well-bred stayer has proven his versatility, winning from ten furlongs to two miles and handling ground ranging from soft to good to firm. Meanwhile, this week’s Goodwood Festival has provided a timely form update for the talented performer who previously finished third behind Royal Ascot winner and subsequent Group 3 Gordon Stakes winner MERCHANT at York in May. Out of the two-time winning mare MARIEE, MANY MEN hails from the deep Lanwades family of Group 1 winner LADY JANE DIGBY.


The Five-Stage Veterinary Certificate, a full set of X-rays, Video Scope and blood tests are being completed and will be uploaded as soon as possible prior to the sale.

> 4-time winning potential Cups horse with wins at G1 tracks like Ascot, Newmarket & Doncaster
> Very progressive, lightly raced 3YO having won or placed in 7 or his 11 starts to date
> Last start winner when showing a very impressive turn of foot to win a very competitive handicap at Ascot over 2m (3200m) by one length. Racing Post assessment of his performance:
“A sound time and solid form. The winner's improving and the second is still going places. Many Men attracted solid support and made it three wins for the term, getting this new trip well. The valuable event he contested at Haydock last time is working out well and further progress looks likely.”
> Top class form in the book having ran 3rd at York over 1m 4f (2400m) to subsequent Royal Ascot King George V and G3 Gordon > Stakes winner MERCHANT (market leader for the G1 St Leger Stakes), while the runner-up RAHIEBB has subsequently been G2 placed at Royal Ascot
>Timeform rated 95
