Think It Over won the Group I ATC Verry Elleegant Stakes on March 2 defeating hot favourite Fangirl, but could do no better than fourth in the Group I ATC Ranvet Stakes last Saturday won by Via Sistina (IRE).

Think It Over had already overcome a significant tendon injury following his memorable Queen Elizabeth Stakes victory in 2022 to return to peak form and following a veterinary assessment, the decision was made to call time on a horse thar has given his all to racing.
