Oriental Charm clung on to claim a famous win in the Hollywoodbets Durban July 12 months ago and returns to defend his crown in 2025.

James Crawford's colt won the Dolphins Cup Trial before going on to seal Durban July glory - following in the footsteps of Waterberry Lane, who landed the same double in 2023.

Oriental Charm made a successful return in the Green Point Stakes in December, before labouring to a seventh-place finish in the King's Plate. Crawford's star has since bounced back with two excellent runner-up finishes, following Eight On Eighteen home in the Sun Met, before a head-defeat to Dave The King in a thrilling renewal of the Gold Challenge.

Oriental Charm wears the aquamarine and grey silks of owners Messrs Greg Bortz & Leon Ellman, Ms Gina Goldsmith. Jockey Juan Paul van der Merwe will again ride the defending champion. We'll confirm his saddle cloth number and his spot in the draw once the field has been finalised.
