The Chosen One has received a measly 0.5kg penalty following his win in the Herbert Power Stakes. That seems to imply that, per the handicapper, only he and Prince of Arran are any good and the rest who participated in the race are rubbish.

As noted, the win meant he passed the first ballot clause and - with the extra 0.5kg - is now set to carry 52kg in the Cup, currently lying at 37th in the Order.
