There was no joy for Holler who finished out of the placings in Saturday's Group I Diamond Jubilee Stakes (6 fur) won by Twilight Son.
Holler pressed the pace to the final two furlongs where he came under pressure. Twilight Son (7/2) was making steady headway towards the centre of the track where Signs Of Blessing led and got there late to edge it by a neck over the fast finishing Gold-Fun (7/1) who ran on well for second.
Signs Of Blessing (25/1) hung on for third, the 3/1 favourite Magical Memory fourth with Holler (12/1) fading to seventh, beaten five lengths.
Trainer Henry Candy told Racing UK the build-up to this contest had not been easy.
"It's not been easy recently with this one," Candy said. "I took him to Newbury recently to do a piece of work with him and he decided that he wanted to do two bits of work.
"He got rid of his work-rider and did a piece of work himself and then we did what we'd come there to do.
"Looking at him now after the race, he doesn't even want to come back! He's a strong character. After the Duke Of York Stakes I realised that he probably needed quite a bit of work and I was quite hard on him."
Ryan Moore made it a treble on the day and said he was always confident.
"I always felt that, when I was going to ask him, he was going to win," Moore said.
"He travelled very strongly and, when I rode him here last year, he felt like a very good horse.
"This horse has done very little wrong - he has only been beaten a couple of times. He has proven himself as a high-class colt. The pace wasn't strong enough for him and it would have been better if they had gone quicker.
"He is a very good colt and is getting more confident."
John O'Shea was far from despondent about the effort of Holler.
"He was there for a long way most probably his condition gave out at the hundred but it was a fair run," O'Shea said.
The three-year-old is entered for the Group I July Cup at Newmarket on July 9. O'Shea is undecided when he'll run next but believes he's better for the run.
"He definitely will improve, whether he will improve enough to win the July Cup, that's what we have got to decide," he said.
"He's always been a second tier horse for us but a good Group one horse at that. It's been a very good learning experience."
