Tony Bloom and Ian McAleavy's Lake Forest (No Nay Never) was doing his best work at the business end of last month's G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes and, faced with an easier task in Tuesday's G2 HKJC World Pool Lennox Stakes at Goodwood, bettered his runner-up finish in last year's renewal to secure a second win at Group 2 level.The 2023 G2 Gimcrack and 2024 Golden Eagle hero was help up behind a moderate tempo in seventh until beyond halfway. Coming under pressure approaching the quarter-mile marker, he quickened into second entering the final furlong and kept on rolling to subdue last year's winner Witness Stand (Expert Eye) and withstand the late surge of Royal Hunt Cup winner Rogue Diplomat (Calyx) by neck.Witness Stand kept on well once headed and finished 3/4-of-a-length back in third, a head in front of last term's G1 Sussex Stakes victor Qirat (Showcasing). The winner and fourth home remain intended runners in Wednesday's G1 Sussex Stakes. Pedigree NotesLake Forest is one of 10 scorers from as many runners for G3 Sirenia Stakes third Lady Aquitaine (El Prado), herself a half-sister to the stakes-winning dam of four black-type performers headed by dual Group 1-winning sire Roderic O'Connor (Galileo).The winner, one of his sire's 82 stakes scorers, is a half-brother to GIII Cardinal Stakes winner Star Fortress (Sea The Stars), the dual Group-placed Listed Derby du Languedoc victrix Lady Of Kyushu (Smart Strike), stakes winner Clint Maroon (Oasis Dream) and a two-year-old colt by Ghaiyyath.Descendants of his dam also include G3 Prix Fille de l'Air victrix Higher Leaves (Golden Horn), GIII Honeymoon Stakes winner Selenaia (Sea The Moon) and the four-time Group 2-placed Do Or Do Not (Space Blues).
