Oisin Murphy delivered See The Fire with a swooping late challenge to secure a deserved big-race victory in the Sky Bet Strensall Stakes at York.
Although winless since making a successful debut on Newmarket’s July Course last summer, Andrew Balding’s filly has run several fine races in defeat in good company since.
The daughter of Sea The Stars rounded off her juvenile campaign with placed efforts in the May Hill and the Fillies’ Mile – and while she was well beaten on her return in the 1000 Guineas, she performed creditably in the Coronation Stakes, the Eclipse and when runner-up to Opera Singer in the Nassau.
Stepping down in trip and class for this nine-furlong Group Three, See The Fire had only Alyanaabi behind her at the top of the home straight, but soon began to weave her way through the field.
Murphy spotted a gap on the far rail inside the final furlong and his mount had more than enough in the tank to take it, quickening up smartly to grab the lead before pulling a length and three-quarters clear at the line.
Phantom Flight filled the runner-up spot, just ahead of Checkandchallenge in third.
“She was brilliant in the Nassau the last day and her work since has been great. She’s been working with older horses that are in good form and she’s been finding it very easy,” said Murphy of the 3-1 favourite.
“I wasn’t going to sit three wide on her, I wanted to get cover and maybe have horses to fill up on the back of before finding space. Arguably I was fortunate enough that it opened up on the inside, but she was very good at the line with her ears pricked.
“It’s so important, she’s out of Arabian Queen who won a Juddmonte International, she’s a homebred for Littleton Stud and I’m delighted.”

Balding added: “We’ve always thought the world of this filly. She’s beautiful to look at, she’s always worked well and I’ve just got to thank David Elsworth for retiring when he did because I’ve reaped the rewards of having the mare’s progeny!
“David did fabulously well with the family and she (Arabian Queen) is an amazing broodmare.
“I’m delighted for Jeff (Smith) and David (Bowe) and everyone at Littleton because these owner-breeders are so important and to get this calibre of horse is special.”

Angelo Buonarroti went some way to recouping his seven-figure purchase price with a determined victory in the British Stallion Studs EBF Convivial Maiden Stakes at York.
The chestnut son of American Triple Crown hero Justify cost Kia Joorabchian’s Amo Racing operation €1,000,000 at the Arqana Breeze-Up sale in May and was thrown in at the deep end when making his competitive debut in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Having shaped with promise in being beaten just three lengths into ninth place, Angelo Buonarroti was a 2-1 favourite to come out on top in a maiden with a huge prize fund of £100,000 on the Knavesmire and knuckled down well under a positive ride from David Egan to score by a length and a quarter.
The winner was making his first start for Ralph Beckett after moving from Raphael Freire’s yard since his Royal Ascot outing.
“I was kind of lucky, as he got a stone bruise before the maiden at Goodwood he was supposed to run in and I had to scratch him. The extra time probably was a positive and the track suited him better than Goodwood would have done,” said Beckett.
“He’s a good horse, we kind of knew that already, it just depends on how far we go now.
“He could go a mile this year, I think it will be within his scope, but I don’t know whether he needs to yet.
“I don’t know if we’ll go straight into a Group race, we might go for the Flying Scotsman (Listed race at Doncaster) and work our way up. It just depends on how we feel.”
James Doyle got the fractions spot on as he came with a late run aboard Shadow Dance to win the opening Sky Bet Handicap.
The four-year-old had disappointed on his first run since being gelded at Royal Ascot, but bounced back to run well at Ripon last time out when touched off by Ebor contender Iron Lion.
A 6-1 shot for his latest assignment, Roger Varian’s charge dug deep to beat Lieber Power by a neck.
“Winners at the biggest meetings is what it’s all about. He’s a homebred and he’s a lovely horse. He’s got a big heart and a lot of stamina, and he needed every inch of the trip today,” said Varian.
“We came into the year very hopeful with this horse, he didn’t have a great spring and I ran him at Royal Ascot in the Duke of Edinburgh, he wasn’t quite right that day.
“But the run at Ripon was a step in the right direction, and he should go on and have a good autumn.”
Ed Walker continued his brilliant week in North Yorkshire by landing the Assured Data Protection EBF Fillies’ Handicap with Canoodled.
The six-year-old was stepping up to a mile and a quarter for the first time on the Knavesmire and it seemed to do the trick as the 25-1 shot won by a length and a half under Billy Loughnane.
Walker, recording his third winner of this year’s Ebor Festival following a double on Thursday, said of his latest success: “It was amazing, a real pleasant surprise. She’s a funny filly, she’s quirky and a bit of rain last night helped. She was going up in trip and she jumped, so it’s great.
“We will try and get some black type in the autumn with her, like we did last year.
“We’ve had an amazing couple of days, it’s sort of pinch yourself stuff really. It is one of the hardest meetings in the world, so it’s amazing.”
Treasure Time finished with a flourish to provide proud Yorkshireman William Haggas with a birthday winner in the concluding Sky Bet Mile Handicap.
Volterra and Mount Teide were the two to the fore as the race heated up inside the final two furlongs, but Tom Marquand decided to play his cards late aboard 13-2 shot Treasure Time and it paid off, with the three-year-old powering home to get up and beat the former by a length.
Haggas, opening his account for the week on his 64th birthday, said: “I felt he had a nice trip today, everything went smoothly and I thought he did well to win. He finished well, he stayed the mile well and I’m very pleased.
“He’s a bonny horse, he’s not very big but he has a great brain. He doesn’t need any training now he’s fit, he’s a great performer.
“It’s been an awful week. I’m really pleased with that, but it’s been a tough week for us.”

Hollie Doyle was all smiles having registered her ninth European Group One victory aboard Archie Watson’s Bradsell in the Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes at York.
Having already won the Coventry Stakes and King’s Stand at Royal Ascot on the four-year-old – stallion-making races in their own right – Doyle will probably need to make the most of what this season has left in store with him, as surely a second career at stud beckons.
He was nearly already enjoying that, as when he broke a fetlock in February when being prepared for Dubai there were questions on whether he would return to action.
However, nursed back to full health by Watson and his team of vets, Bradsell returned to action with a win in France just 19 days ago and in truth never looked like losing on the Knavesmire.

Third in the race 12 months ago when drawn on the wrong side, his task was made slightly easier on the morning of the race when last year’s first and fifth, Live In The Dream and Regional, were taken out.
Doyle needed a big winner this season, as while her old ally Trueshan is still about, as an eight-year-old he is in the twilight of his career. The numbers are still healthy, but every jockey needs a headline horse.
In winning another Group One, Doyle proved yet again she is among the best around – with a particular penchant for winning big sprints, having landed the 2022 Prix de l’Abbaye on The Platinum Queen, the 2020 Champions Sprint on Glen Shiel and last year’s King’s Stand with Bradsell.
Alex Greaves was famously the first female jockey to win a Group One in Britain, on Ya Malak, dead-heating in the Nunthorpe with Coastal Bluff in 1997, while Hayley Turner won it outright on Margot Did in 2011.
“It’s a real credit to Archie, when he had his injury we weren’t sure if he was going to run again, but here we are, winning the Nunthorpe,” said an elated Doyle.
Hollie Doyle was overjoyed at winning another Group One (Mike Egerton/PA)
“Obviously I’m aware Hayley won this and I think she’s just grateful to see someone else in the position to be capable of winning it.
“The race went perfectly to plan, that was how I saw it unfolding, to be honest. Although I ran the track this morning, and despite there being a draw bias, there was such fresh ground on the other side, I was worried that by race time it might become poached, but clearly not!
“I just feared that the other side might come across and negate the advantage, but the ground Bradsell gained on the others in the first two furlongs was incredible really.
“I could have really done with Ponntos leading me for a bit longer, definitely, but I’m lucky that Bradsell is very straightforward. He was travelling best everywhere.
“I had plenty left in the final furlong but he was idling a bit, I was starting to think I could have gone quicker!”
She went on: “Coming here this week, I didn’t have a strong book of rides numerically, but this was the one I was looking forward to most. I thought he could get me out of jail and Group Ones are Group Ones – there’s not many of them. I haven’t won one since Trueshan in the Prix du Cadran (2023).
“He’s a very special horse to me, I’m really lucky, he’s four now and you never know how long these horses are going to carry on. That’s the problem with Flat horses, they come and go very quickly, so I’m lucky to have him still.
“It’s very important to have these big winners, you can have as many as you like but no one really cares unless you are riding big ones.
“Doing it for Archie makes it really special, and the owners Victorious Racing, they’ve been really loyal to us, so it’s great.”

Bradsell ran out a brilliant winner of the Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes at York.
Third 12 months ago off the back of winning the King’s Stand at Royal Ascot, Archie Watson’s colt has endured an interrupted campaign this season, not making his reappearance until earlier this month.
However, having proved his considerable sprinting ability remains very much intact with an impressive comeback victory in a Listed event at Deauville, the son of Tasleet was well-backed at 3-1 for his return to Group One level and proved much the best in the hands of Hollie Doyle.
After getting a perfect lead into the race on the far side of the track by the rapid Czech raider Ponntos, Bradsell took over travelling strongly racing inside the two-furlong marker, with Doyle taking a look across the course to see how her rivals were faring.
She will certainly have liked what she saw, as it was quickly obvious Bradsell was in full control and he was good value for the winning margin of three-quarters of a length.
The consistent Believing finished with gusto closest to the stands rail to fill the runner-up spot, with Starlust and the Australian 6-4 favourite Asfoora close up in third and fourth respectively.
“We were getting him ready for Dubai in the spring and he fractured a fetlock in February and it’s been an amazing route back for him,” said Watson.
“I’m not one for sectionals, but I was told he did the fastest closing final two furlongs in the race last year. This year thankfully we were drawn with the Czech horse who goes off quick.
“When Regional and Live In The Dream came out I couldn’t decide if I wanted them in as pace angles or out as very good horses. Luckily Ponntos was always going to go what he did, but Hollie was even taking Bradsell back off him he was going so well today.
“I thought when the injury happened it would be a question of saving him for a stallion job next year, but at every stage he passed with flying colours. I know the vets like to stay behind the scenes, but they really have done a phenomenal job with this horse.”

He went on: “We still can’t believe a horse like this was buyable for £50,000. That is expensive for us and I know people see us as a big yard but we have very few six-figure horses and for us to compete at this sort of level by buying horses at a lower level, it means a lot.
“He won the Coventry and he’s a King’s Stand winner. Now he’s a Nunthorpe winner and I hope he can keep doing more.”
On his relationship with Doyle, Watson added: “It means so much more when it is the two of us having the winners together because we grew together.
“She was just out of her claim when she came to me from Richard Hannon and all of our Group One winners have been together. She is a massive part of the team, we work well together and long may it continue.”

Cool Hoof Luke advertised his star quality when hitting the bullseye in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes at York.
Named after World Darts champion ‘Cool Hand’ Luke Humphries, Andrew Balding’s son of Advertise has performed admirably in defeat since making his winning debut at Chelmsford, finishing fourth in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot before going a place better in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood.
With experience under his belt, Oisin Murphy’s mount was sent off at 8-1 and breezed smartly into contention approaching the business end of the Group Two event.
Once hitting the front, he put his racecourse knowledge to good use inside the final furlong to hold off the challenge of Charlie Appleby’s previously unbeaten Shadow Of Light, with Adrian Keatley’s Symbol Of Strength outrunning odds of 80-1 for third.
Balding was represented by his wife, Anna Lisa, who said: “He’s a big horse, a big two-year-old. It doesn’t always happen, but it happened and it’s just fantastic.
“You look at him and you think he’s going to be a better three-year-old, we weren’t sure about the trip, it was going to be a question mark today – he’s bred to be a sprinter, looks like a seven-furlong horse – and again, the trainer got it right.
“I think we were a bit disappointed at Goodwood, but he came back and won the right one today.
“Andrew will be making the decisions, but it is exciting.”
Of the runner-up, Appleby’s assistant Alex Merriam said: “We’re happy. That was his first step up into Group company and it is a big step up. I think he’s probably learned a lot, he’s run his race, but he just got beaten by one better on the day.
“I think the trip is fine for him, he’ll stick at six for now, but he just got beat by one on the day.
“I did just say to Charlie, though, that it looks good for Aomori City as he beat the winner at Goodwood, so we’ll take that.
“We can’t complain, it’s only his third run and first in Group company.”
Keatley had been keen on the chance of Symbol Of Strength and felt he was vindicated.
He said: “I’d like to think I’ve been looking at them long enough now to know when we’ve got a good one, but I was starting to doubt myself when I saw he was the outsider of the field yesterday. I thought that was ridiculous.
“He’s a good horse, he’ll have no problems getting seven furlongs and next year maybe even a mile, he’s got scope and will grow a bit, we think a lot of him and the sky is the limit.
“He’s in the Mill Reef and that will probably be the target, he’s also in the Middle Park, but we’ll go to the Mill Reef as long as the ground is not too soft.”

Vauban repelled the late thrust of Al Nayyir to open his account for the season in the Weatherbys Hamilton Lonsdale Cup at York.
The 2022 Triumph Hurdle winner has reverted to the Flat with notable success over the past couple of seasons, winning at Royal Ascot and at Group Three level last summer before disappointing as a hot favourite for the Melbourne Cup in November.
He returned this term with a runner-up finish to Giavellotto in the Yorkshire Cup in May and travelled like a possible winner of the Gold Cup in June before his stamina ebbed away in the latter stages.
The six-year-old again let down favourite backers in last month’s Curragh Cup, but bounced back to his best on the Knavesmire to tee himself up for a potential return to Australia later in the year.
After being settled in midfield for much of the two-mile contest, the Willie Mullins-trained chestnut was travelling better than anything racing inside the three final furlongs and soon quickened up smartly to grab the lead in the hands of William Buick.
With market principals Point Lonsdale and Gregory weakening out of contention after forcing the pace, 11-2 chance Vauban looked home for all money, but Al Nayyir finished with a real rattle on his first start for Tom Clover and was just a short head behind at the line.
Paddy Power cut the winner to 10-1 from 14-1 to win the Melbourne Cup at Flemington at the second time of asking on November 5.
Owner Rich Ricci said: “The ticket for Australia is not quite booked, but it has been our intention all season and we said we’d work back from the Melbourne Cup.
“I don’t know what Willie wants to do next, he’s got an entry in the Irish St Leger but Melbourne still remains the plan, we’ll see what the handicapper does.
“He was very good today, he was ready to rock, he looked a picture and showed a great turn of foot.
Vauban wins the Weatherbys Hamilton Lonsdale Cup (Mike Egerton/PA).
“William thought he probably got there a little too soon, but he also said he was idling a bit in front.
“I wanted to see him run through the line today because I’ve had my niggles about the trip and he got it – just! That’s brilliant.
“Willie called me before the race and that does not happen very often unless there is something wrong. He said we had no excuse today and thought he’d go very close.
“His first run this year here (at York) was great, he ran a huge race in the Gold Cup but he just didn’t stay and then at the Curragh it probably came a bit soon.
“We learned a lot from Australia last year; we did things different than in the past, we’d always gone in the second shipment and run later than he did. I just said to the team, ‘let’s start with Melbourne, let him tell us he’s not able to go and work back from that’.
“His two targets were the Gold Cup and today and I guess he’ll go in the second shipment again.”
Regarding the 33-1 runner-up, Clover commented: “He’s a new horse for us, but he shaped up well in his home work and we were looking forward to running him.
Trainer Tom Clover has high hopes for Al Nayyir (Mike Egerton/PA).
“We couldn’t quite believe the price he was, he has some very good form and he’s got a very high rating.
“He has (run to his mark), he had one blip perhaps last time out, but his run in Dubai was very, very good. He’s a very good horse by a very good sire and hopefully he can go one better very soon.
“Not too sure (what next), we have him in a couple of places; one in France and obviously one on Champions Day, so we will have to discuss with the owners.
“He was very resolute, he saw the race out very strong and hopefully he’s a horse we can think about travelling with in the winter. It would be lovely if he can get his head in front in Group company first.”
John Gosden was far from downbeat about Gregory’s third-place effort, stating: “Really happy with him, he ran a super race. He probably could have dealt with some pace in front of him, he stays so well.
“I’m very happy with him, but we’d expected someone quick to go on, so he ended up doing the work in front. He’s run a solid race.
“We might put him away for the Cadran, we will see what the ground is, as he does like the ground on top.
“We will see what we get, if it’s bottomless then we might wait for next year.”

James Doyle got the fractions spot on as he came with a late run on Shadow Dance to win the Sky Bet Handicap at York.
The four-year-old had disappointed on his first run since being gelded at Royal Ascot, but bounced back to run well at Ripon last time out when touched off by Ebor contender Iron Lion.
Grey Cuban led the field into the straight, where Qitaal took over only to be swamped by Dark Moon Rising.
The latter had a break on the field with a furlong to run, but when Doyle switched Roger Varian’s grey to the middle of the track he picked up well and had enough in hand to hold the late run of Lieber Power by a neck, with Dark Moon Rising back in third.
“Winners at the biggest meetings is what it’s all about. He’s a homebred and he’s a lovely horse. He’s got a big heart and a lot of stamina, and he needed every inch of the trip today,” Varian said of the 6-1 winner.
“We came into the year very hopeful with this horse, he didn’t have a great spring and I ran him at Royal Ascot in the Duke of Edinburgh, he wasn’t quite right that day.
“But the run at Ripon was a step in the right direction, and he should go on and have a good autumn.
“If you looked at the entries, he was in four places this weekend. Today was as quick as he wants and maybe that little rain last night just took the sting out of the ground. We came to the right race.”
Ed Walker continued his brilliant week in North Yorkshire by landing the Assured Data Protection EBF Fillies’ Handicap with Canoodled.
The six-year-old was stepping up to a mile and a quarter for the first time on the Knavesmire and it seemed to do the trick as the 25-1 shot won by a a length and a half under Billy Loughnane.
Walker, recording his third winner of this year’s Ebor Festival following a double on Thursday, said of his latest success: “It was amazing, a real pleasant surprise. She’s a funny filly, she’s quirky and a bit of rain last night helped. She was going up in trip and she jumped, so it’s great.
“We will try and get some black type in the autumn with her, like we did last year.
“We’ve had an amazing couple of days, it’s sort of pitch yourself stuff really. It is one of the hardest meetings in the world, so it’s amazing.”

See The Fire will attempt to scorch up the Knavesmire and get her moment in the spotlight when she goes for glory in York’s Sky Bet Strensall Stakes.
Andrew Balding’s filly, who sports the famous purple and blue colours of Jeff Smith, has only won once in her seven-race career, but has campaigned in Group One company on the last five occasions.
A staying-on fifth in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, she has been tested against the very best Ballydoyle has to offer since upped in trip the last twice.
An honourable fourth to Aidan O’Brien’s City Of Troy in the Eclipse, the daughter of Sea The Stars then pushed Opera Singer all the way when denied by a neck in the Nassau Stakes.

With no O’Brien-trained rivals and a drop in grade, connections are now hopeful See The Fire will get the victory her efforts have deserved.
“Hopefully she goes to York with a great chance,” said Balding. “She’s had a good season, although she hasn’t won yet this year, but particularly in her last couple of starts she has shown she has got the ability we hoped she would and hopefully she will have a good chance.
“These races are difficult to win, as they should be, but she’s in great form and we hope she will go well.
“The trip shouldn’t be a problem. We had hoped she would be a Guineas horse earlier in the season, so she’s not a slow horse by any means.”
Enfjaar has already won at York this season (Tim Goode/PA)
Roger Varian’s Enfjaar returns to the scene of his terrific John Smith’s Cup success after his near-miss in a similar event at Goodwood.
He is one of two for owners Shadwell along with Owen Burrows’ Alyanaabi, who has always been held in high regard and finished fifth in the 2000 Guineas earlier in the year.
A beaten favourite at Newbury last time, he now drops a furlong in distance as his team hope to erase that uncharacteristic blot on his copybook.
“We have hopefully put a line through Newbury and tactics-wise we got that wrong,” said Burrows.
Alyanaabi disappointed at Newbury when last seen (Tim Goode/PA)
“We will go back to what we know and hopefully we can get him back on track.
“There have been some decent runs this year, the Guineas looks strong form with what the front two (Notable Speech and Rosallion) have done and Clive Cox’s horse (Ghostwriter) was only a neck in front of us and ran a blinder in the International.
“He has some form there and hopefully it was just a blip last time, we’re very happy with him at home and hopefully he can get back on track.”
While Alyanaabi faltered in the Steventon Stakes, George Scott’s Phantom Flight thrived to see off the challenge of Al Aasy and register an impressive victory.

Al Aasy turned the tables on Scott’s five-year-old when they clashed over 12 furlongs at Goodwood, but the Newmarket handler is excited to drop back in trip with the Victorious Racing-owned gelding .
Scott said: “We really think coming back in distance will suit him and obviously he has to go and prove it, but going to Goodwood I was very much on the fence over whether he would stay or not.
“I just wanted to find out early as it would clarify running plans with him, but he has been showing more and more speed in his work and I’m very hopeful this will be more his trip.
“He’s a track winner and we know York can be a specialist track which is part of the decision in going for this race.
“It’s a strong race, as you would expect, but I’m really looking forward to it and trying him over this trip and on this ground. We’re getting to know him better and better now and are very pleased with him.
“He might have to pull out a career best to win this race and it remains to be seen whether he is capable of that, but for me all the boxes are ticked heading into the run anyway.”
Ralph Beckett’s Task Force stretches out in distance having finished a close-up third to fellow Juddmonte-owned runner Lead Artist in the Thoroughbred Stakes at Goodwood.
Runner-up in the Middle Park before being set some stiff assignments in the early stages of his three-year-old career, it was a promising run from the son of Frankel with his team still learning about the colt’s full capabilities.
“We sort of felt after the 2000 Guineas that he looked like he might get a bit further than a mile and when he ran in the Jersey (Stakes at Royal Ascot), that kind of confirmed we needed to go up rather than down in trip,” said Barry Mahon, European racing manager for owners Juddmonte.
“He ran well the last day at Goodwood, didn’t get much luck in running but finished well and hit the line strong, and definitely suggested that another furlong would be within his compass.
“This will tell us a bit more about whether we can go another furlong on top which will open up a few more options going forward and I think he is starting to come back to his best.
“Andrew Balding has a good filly in there who will be tough to beat, but if he runs a nice race and we learn a bit more about him, we will be happy.”

Audience is out to enhance his stellar 2024 campaign by going one better than 12 months ago in the Sky Bet City of York Stakes.
John and Thady Gosden’s five-year-old had to settle for second behind Kinross last year but has taken his form to the next level this term.
A shock winner of the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury in May, he failed to figure in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot, but thrived for a drop back to seven furlongs in the Lennox Stakes last month.
He ran out the most impressive winner at Goodwood – coming home four lengths clear of Tim Easterby’s reopposing Art Power – and the mount of Robert Havlin arrives on the Knavesmire with plenty of momentum.

“He has no Group One penalty to carry, which is obviously an advantage, and he ran very well in this race last year when he was second to Kinross,” said Chris Richardson, managing director of owners Cheveley Park Stud.
“I think Goodwood showed seven furlongs suits him better than the stiff mile at Ascot, where he ran very well in the Queen Anne but probably didn’t quite get home.
“It’s a competitive race, as ever, but if he can produce his last run, hopefully he’ll be right there.”
Audience will not have Kinross to worry about this time around after Ralph Beckett’s consistent stalwart and dual City of York Stakes winner was declared a non-runner on Saturday morning on account of unsuitable ground.

Another previous Ebor Festival winner in the race is William Haggas’ Lake Forest, who lifted the Gimcrack at this meeting 12 months ago and now moves up in trip after two fine runs in defeat so far this season.
Second to Inisherin when reappearing in the Commonwealth Cup, he bumped into another Sheikh Obaid-owned speedster when runner-up to Elite Status at Newbury.
Owned by Brighton & Hove Albion supremo Tony Bloom in partnership with Ian McAleavy, the son of No Nay Never relishes quick ground with his team hoping conditions will allow him to put his best foot forward.
Haggas said: “He’s in really good form and this is the race we want to have a go at, but he doesn’t want any cut in the ground. He wants really quick ground and hopefully it will be fast enough on Saturday.

“We’re not (completely) sure about the trip, there’s enough on the dam’s side of his pedigree to say he wants the trip. I don’t know really though, he certainly races well over six furlongs but he looks like seven will suit him well as he’s been a strong finisher twice this year.
“He’s never been better than at the line both times, so it could be that he is better over seven maybe, but we will see.
“In the Commonwealth Cup it was a strong race and the Hackwood Stakes was a much better race than the grade, so he’s done well.”
Shouldvebeenaring has also struck at this meeting in the past and Richard Hannon’s colt has risen through the ranks since winning the valuable Goffs sales race as a two-year-old.

Now a regular in Group-race company, he has primarily run over six furlongs with connections now keen to test the waters once again up in distance.
“We’re sort of undecided whether his best trip is six or seven furlongs, but if I had to go for one I’d probably say seven,” said Tim Palin of owners Middleham Park Racing.
“He’s a genuine Group One/Group Two performer and we’d love to make him a Group One or Group Two winner before the end of the season.
“I think he goes to York with a fighting chance. He’s tightly matched with Kinross and Lake Forest. Audience is perhaps the class horse in the field and was an impressive winner at Goodwood, but I do wonder whether he and Art Power got loose on the front end that day.
“Hopefully the ground is fast. There are showers forecast I believe and we could do without any rain as fast ground is him playing at home.
“It is slightly more than seven furlongs and over that trip we could do without a slog in a bog.”

Alfa Kellenic gave Yorkshire handler Craig Lidster a day to remember when bringing up a five-timer in the British EBF Fillies’ Handicap at York.
Rotherham-born Lidster trains out of Easingwold and had already saddled the in-form three-year-old to win once on the Knavesmire this term.
However, the flying daughter of Havana Grey was giving him by far the biggest success of his fledgling training career by repeating the dose at the venue’s flagship meeting.
The 17-2 shot travelled strongly in the hands of Tom Eaves and when hitting the front inside the final half-furlong clung on gamely by a short head to extend her winning streak.
Lidster said: “Five wins in a row, unbelievable. She’s tough filly and what an accolade for the yard, the owners and all my staff. I’m chuffed to bits.
“She’s versatile and we know she can win over six furlongs and stays seven now. Do we go to the Ayr Gold Cup? What do we do? This has opened up lots of different avenues for us now and it’s back to the drawing board.
“We’ve still got our plans over six and now we need to look at options over seven at the same time.
“She’s a filly we have always took our time with and thought a lot about. Everyone has had patience and she has delivered in the end.
“To win this at the Ebor meeting, I’m chuffed to bits. I’m chuffed for the owners, everyone at the yard and also all the owners within my yard as well, it’s just a huge team effort.”
Elsewhere, Thunder Run led from pillar to post in the £150,000 Clipper Handicap.
Owned by the race sponsor, Steve Parkin, the Karl Burke-trained three-year-old was second on his Wetherby debut before claiming back-to-back wins in July at Thirsk and Hamilton respectively.
He could finish only third as an odds-on favourite for his handicap debut in the Summer Cup back at Thirsk earlier this month, but rewarded those who kept the faith with an improved performance on the Knavesmire, seeing off all-comers at 6-1 under David Egan, scoring by half a length from Mirsky.
Burke, who also saddled the third-placed Holloway Boy, said: “I’m just glad to get a winner, what we’ve run so far have been running reasonably well but it’s nice to get one, especially for Steve in the race he sponsors.
“I think this is a very good horse in the making, he’s still very raw. It wasn’t the plan to go out and make it, but David said he jumped well and didn’t feel he was going quick enough so wanted to go on.
“He did say if something had taken him on it probably would have cost him the race as he was on fresh air in the last 100 yards. At the moment a mile is far enough for him.
“Holloway Bay has run his usual game race, too, but he’s carrying plenty of weight at the moment.
“The Balmoral (on Champions Day) will be the right type of race for them both.”
Angel Hunter did just enough to hold off a fast-finishing Age Of Gold in a gallant display to land the sensory-junction.co.uk Autism Awareness EBF Stallions Nursery Handicap.
The Richard Hannon-trained colt had not finished higher than third in any of his three career starts, but never relinquished his advantage once getting his nose in front for Ryan Moore.
The son of Acclamation, who went off at 8-1, had to overcome a deficit at halfway in the seven-furlong race, but he ebbed away at Qaseem’s early lead to draw level just as they passed the final furlong marker.
He powered ahead in the closing stages for what looked to be a comfortable victory, only for Age Of Gold to provide a late scare as Angel Hunter held on by a neck with Qaseem a further length behind in third.
Hannon said: “I wanted to run him in the sales race, but it would have been a bit sharp.
“It’s actually very fitting as he’s owned by the same people as Witch Hunter who I thought had won the Hungerford on Saturday.
“He’s disappointed me a couple of times this season, but he’s a typical Camacho. He’s got a few nice entries, the sales race at Doncaster, but he’s a horse for next year really.
“Ryan did well to win from stall 17, I just wish I could get him more often, I used to get him all the time but he’s made it!”

Aidan O’Brien paid tribute to the remarkable Galileo after Content provided the late superstar stallion with his 100th individual Group One winner at York on Thursday.
For all the son of Sadler’s Wells achieved great things on the track, with a CV featuring big-race victories in the Derby, Irish Derby and King George in 2001, his racing career almost pales into insignificance compared to the astonishing things he has achieved at stud.
His first Group One winner was the Dermot Weld-trained Nightime in the Irish 1,000 Guineas of 2006. His countless top-class offspring of course includes the mighty Frankel, who can lay claim to being the greatest racehorse of them all and who following an unbeaten 14-race career has also gone on to establish himself as a pre-eminent stallion in his own right.
Galileo has also sired five Derby winners in New Approach, Australia, Ruler Of The World, Anthony Van Dyck and Serpentine, as well as a whole host of top-class performers such as Order Of St George, Magical, Minding, Highland Reel and Kyprios.
Galileo died at the age of 23 in 2021, but his legacy very much lives on and he reached the remarkable three-figure mark in terms of top-level triumphs as Content lifted the Yorkshire Oaks.
The three-year-old, who is fittingly out of a dual Nunthorpe winner in Mecca’s Angel, may not be the best horse Galileo has produced, but her trainer views her as a perfect example of the talent and tenacity he handed down to his offspring.
“Galileo is incredible, they (his progeny) are so honest and so genuine. It’s so incredible for us to have had so many of them,” he said.
“You can see what has happened at Ballydoyle, since the end of Sadler’s Wells and then he arrived and won us the Derby.
“The mark he’s going to leave on pedigrees is incredible, from generation to generation.
“She (Content) is a typical example of Galileo. Even if there’s no more left, if their legs can move they put them out there and that’s what she did.
“Right to the end, Ryan said there was no stopping her. Ninety-nine per cent of thoroughbreds will get to that stage and hold up the flag, but Galileos don’t. They’re so genuine and they could be tired today and come out the next day and still put up their best. It’s a very unusual trait in an animal.”
The magnificent Frankel is a son of Galileo (PA)
O’Brien admits replacing a horse of Galileo’s influence at Coolmore Stud is an impossible task, but believes in Justify – sire of Wednesday’s Juddmonte International hero City Of Troy – the team have the perfect heir to his throne.
When asked if we would see the likes of Galileo again, he added: “I don’t think so. Obviously we’re so excited about Justify – we think he’s Galileo with more class.
“That’s why we’re so excited about City (Of Troy), you think he’s tired but he’ll still keep putting out his legs.”

Ralph Beckett has placed a target on Qipco British Champions Day after seeing the tables turned on his Irish Oaks heroine You Got To Me in the Pertemps Network Yorkshire Oaks.
The Valmont and Newsells Park Stud-owned filly gave her connections a day to remember when getting the better of Content to scoop Classic honours at the Curragh, but had to give way this time around as Aidan O’Brien’s daughter of Galileo defied keenness to finish strongest on the Knavesmire.
Having been campaigned at a high level since claiming the Lingfield Oaks Trial earlier in the season, You Got To Me has been seen to better effect since racing more professionally the last twice.
She could now attempt to go one better than stablemate Bluestocking, who was narrowly denied at Ascot on Champions Day in the fillies’ end-of-season showpiece 12 months ago.
Beckett said: “I think she was beaten by the better filly. I’ll have to watch the race again but it looked to me like the winner was on the other side, there’s an element of that but I wouldn’t make too many excuses.
“The Irish Oaks form has been upheld and that is racing. I don’t know what we’ll do next. She’s run well again and I suppose we’d have to look at the Fillies & Mares at Ascot on Champions Day.
“Whether we run somewhere else again first we’ll have to see, but she was far more settled today which was a positive.”
Meanwhile, John Gosden was delighted to see Emily Uphjohn – who he trains alongside son Thady – return to her best having disappointed in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood.
Emily Upjohn returned to something near her best in the Yorkshire Oaks (David Davies for the Jockey Club/PA)
He said: “I said after Goodwood I’d like to take the hood off her, which we did, and let her enjoy herself.
“She ran a lovely race, obviously we had the pacemaker besides us and they’ve gone a solid pace all the way and I think you do learn in life that giving 9lb to improving three-year-olds at this time of year is very difficult so it’s notable that the Irish Oaks winner and second are first and second again.
“He (Kieran Shoemark, jockey) got left alone in front too soon. The pacemaker did a good job for Ryan (Moore), but it did mean we were left on our own in front a long way out. The last furlong to home was quite a long way, but never forget the weight difference.
“Enable won it at three and came back to win it as an older horse, she was able to give the 9lb.
“I don’t think the position on the track made a whole lot of difference in the end, the second came from the same place as us so to that extent we’ve no complaints.”
Having shown she is still capable of mixing it with the best fillies and mares around, Gosden believes there is still plenty of time for Emily Upjohn to return to the winner’s enclosure this season and is eyeing a trip to ParisLongchamp next month for the Prix Vermaille.
He continued: “She’s run a valiant race, I’m very happy with her and she’s coming back to her very best. We’ll probably look at something like the Prix Vermeille at Longchamp in the middle of September. It’s nice to se her show her true form again.
“We’ll take it one step at a time, the fillies’ Group One races are at the back end of the year. It’s taken her a long time to come back, but she’s proven she is.”
On Emily Upjohn’s stablemate Queen Of The Pride, Gosden added: “It all happened a bit quick for Queen Of The Pride and we’ll step her up in trip for the Park Hill at Doncaster. Her mother won the Leger there and I think she’ll appreciate that trip.”

Content gained revenge on her Irish Oaks conqueror You Got To Me to claim the Pertemps Network Yorkshire Oaks at York.
A daughter of Galileo out of dual Nunthorpe winner Mecca’s Angel, it was somewhat fitting that Aidan O’Brien’s filly was enjoying her finest hour on the Knavesmire as she registered the biggest victory of her carer.
Keen in the early stages in the hands of Ryan Moore as stablemate Port Fairy led the field along in company with William Haggas’ Sea Theme, the eye was drawn to Emily Upjohn as the runners entered the straight.
John and Thady Gosden’s mare breezed to the head of proceedings in the hands of Kieran Shoemark, but Curragh one-two You Got To Me and Content (3-1 favourite) were never far behind as the trio became looked in a three-way battle in the closing stages.
Content and Ralph Beckett’s Classic heroine edged their way past eventual third Emily Upjohn with the line approaching, but this time around it was the Ballydoyle filly who pulled out extra to become the late, great Galileo’s 100th individual Group One winner.
It was an eighth Yorkshire Oaks for O’Brien, who has now won four of the last five runnings of the mile-and-a-half event.
“She has come forward since the Curragh and every time we have stepped her up in trip she has improved,” said O’Brien.
“We ran her in the fillies’ race on (Irish) Derby weekend, the Pretty Polly, to see if she would get a mile and a quarter and she finished behind two older fillies. Ryan came in and said no doubt she will get a mile and a half and we went to the Irish Oaks and we had a pacemaker that didn’t go fast enough for her and the race never opened up for her.

“Ryan gave her an incredible ride and she’s not straightforward or easy. She has a lot of pace and he did an incredible job to get her relaxed. The pace was stronger today and she kept coming. Ryan was surprised because she was so keen but she kept coming from the three-furlong marker. It was incredible ride and she is a very brave filly who will be better in a faster-run race.
“She could go to one of the fillies’ (Arc) trials, she could go to an Arc or a Vermeille or to America. She’s definitely going to be better where the pace is strong, wherever that is, as she is still racing in a gear too high. When she gets into a gear which has other horses out of their comfort zone, she will be comfortable and it will be amazing to see what she can do off that kind of pace.”

Thunder Run led from pillar to post in the £150,000 Clipper Handicap at York.
Owned by the race sponsor, Steve Parkin, the Karl Burke-trained three-year-old was second on his Wetherby debut before claiming back-to-back wins in July at Thirsk and Hamilton respectively.
He could finish only third as an odds-on favourite for his handicap debut in the Summer Cup back at Thirsk earlier this month, but rewarded those who kept the faith with an improved performance on the Knavesmire, seeing off all comers at 6-1 under David Egan, scoring by half a length from Mirsky.

The Strikin Viking returns to the scene of his impressive winning debut as he attempts to hit the target at York for a second time in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes.
Named in honour of Erling Haaland, who wasted little time finding the back of the net as Manchester City returned to Premier League action last week, the talented son of Inns Of Court will hope to follow suit and find the scoresheet for the first time in group company.
The Strikin Viking’s two previous attempts at this level have ended in honourable defeats, firstly at the hands of Henri Matisse in Ireland, and then when downed late in the day by Black Forza in the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood.

The Gimcrack was highlighted as the obvious next target by connections in the immediate aftermath of his reversal on the Sussex Downs and they are confident the Knavesmire will play to the strengths of the speedy Hamad Al Jehani-trained colt.
“He ran very well for us at Goodwood in the Richmond,” said Richard Brown, European racing adviser for owners Wathnan Racing. “The race was run at a blistering pace and he was just a bit off it and maybe he hit the front a bit soon.
“I think this fast six furlongs will really play to his strengths, but obviously it looks like being a good renewal.
“He has to take on Big Mojo and Charlie Appleby’s horse, Shadow Of Light, looked very good at Newmarket. It’s a good race on paper and will be tough.
“I saw him on Monday and he looked fantastic. Hamad is very happy with him and we’re looking forward to seeing him run.”

While The Strikin Viking may have missed out on Goodwood glory, Big Mojo demonstrated his star quality when scoring over five furlongs in the Molecomb Stakes.
Sporting the colours of Big Evs’ owner Paul Teasdale, Mick Appleby’s charge showed improvement from his Beverley debut to claim Group Three honours on just his second outing and the Rutland handler feels there is more to come moving up in distance.
“He did it very well at Goodwood and I think he has improved again, so he goes there with a very good chance,” said Appleby.
“I think the six furlongs will probably suit him really well and he’s still at the early stages of his career.”
Jack Jones’ stable star Caburn is unbeaten in two starts, landing the valuable Super Sprint at Newbury to supplement a previous six-furlong win at Salisbury.

Jones said: “It’s extremely exciting and we earmarked this after his win at Newbury. We gave him a quiet week after Newbury but his work has been good since and I’m very happy.
“He was screaming out for six furlongs in the Super Sprint and the move back up in distance is very much a positive.
“I would love a splash of rain to just make it good ground or good to soft, but having said that, he has won twice on good to firm so we can’t complain too much.
“He’s a stable star for us and I just hope he can continue putting us in the spotlight. It’s a warm race and I was hoping it might be a little bit kinder – all of the big boys have turned up.
“But we go there unbeaten and the one thing I love about my lad is his battling qualities. He puts his ears back and sticks his head down and wants it and that will hopefully stand him in good stead if he’s thereabouts at the business end.”
Andesite (right) struck on the Knavesmire on debut (Mike Egerton/PA)
Shadow Of Light has looked a special talent in his two outings so far and the Lope De Vega colt now attempts to remain unbeaten and give Charlie Appleby a second win in three years in this race.
Karl Burke’s Andesite has not been seen since striking over course and distance on debut in May, with the form of that given a boost by the runner-up Yah Mo Be There who has since won at Listed level.
Meanwhile, it is Camille Pissarro who represents Aidan O’Brien having pushed subsequent Group One scorer Babouche close in the Anglesey Stakes.
Eve Johnson Houghton’s Richmond Stakes fourth Billboard Star is a model of consistency capable of a bold showing, while Andrew Balding’s Cool Hand Luke finished fourth in the Coventry Stakes before going one place better in the Vintage Stakes and now tries to find the bullseye.
Kevin Ryan’s King’s Call was not disgraced behind Big Mojo in the Molecomb, with Adrian Keatley’s Ayr maiden winner Symbol Of Strength completing the field.
