There was still the G1 Sun Chariot at Newmarket and a brace of G3s at Ascot.

Newmarket's going was described as good and Ascot had the soft going.  We were delighted to see Jane Chapple-Hyam saddle her first G1 with Saffron Beach under William Buick who had picked up the ride when Adam Kirby was required for Ascot duties.  Mother Earth was 3 lengths back in second and outsider Dreamloper 25/1 was third.

At Ascot the Cumberland Lodge was a stroll in the park for Hukum who finished 6 ½ lengths ahead of Eagles By Day 50/1 and Ilaraab 8/1.
