Stewards' Cup
In September, the colt returned to the scene of his classic victory but finished third to Bee's-wing and The Provost in the Doncaster Cup. Later that month he finished last of the four runners behind Gallipot in the Stewards' Cup at Liverpool. On his final appearance of a disappointing season, Charles the Twelfth had his first run in Scotland and was beaten by Lanercost in the Gold Cup at Dumfries.
