News in Brief

Highfield Princess defies wide draw to win Abbaye

Highfield Princess got up close home to land the Prix de l’Abbaye for Jason Hart and John Quinn. The popular mare was sent off favourite for the ParisLongchamp Group 1 despite being drawn in stall 14 but would have traded much higher in-running with victory looking unlikely at halfway.

Roger Charlton backs son Harry for Beckhampton success

Roger Charlton on Sunday backed his son Harry to succeed at their historic Beckhampton base following the news the Derby-winning trainer will relinquish his part of their joint licence at the end of the season.

Clive Cox thrilled after saddling 1,000th winner

Clive Cox enjoyed his 1,000th winner as a trainer when Sergeant Pep landed the 5½f handicap. Cox, a former jump jockey, started training briefly in the early 1990s and took over from his then-boss Mikey Heaton-Ellis in 1999 at Barbury Castle before moving to Lambourn a year later.

RECENT LAMBOURN WINNERS

8:30 Chelmsford City, 30th September

Q Twenty Boy

Mark Usher

Neither getting any younger but both well handicapped, well drawn and are very well. Should both go close (Arlecchino’s Gift 2nd 33/1).

PRICE 10/1
3:40 Newmarket, 30th September

Astro King

Daniel & Claire Kübler

Astro King looks to have several things in his favour here, a good draw and decent ground. He’s trained beautifully into this off the back of a good win at the Ebor Meeting. A strong pace will suit now all we need is a bit of luck in this hugely competitive race.

PRICE 20/1
4:50 Warwick, 25th September

Sea The Clouds

Jamie Snowden

Sea the Clouds won a bumper and a novice hurdle on his hurdling debut last summer, and has been placed lots since. He appreciated going up to 2m4 when narrowly denied the time before last, and won well last time out when things didn't go his way. Up another 4lbs, he's got to improve off a career high mark, but the step up to 3m1 might well unlock some more progress.

PRICE 100/30
5:40 Chepstow, 4th September

Emperor’s Clothes

Richard Hughes

Emperor’s Clothes ran a nice race last time to finish second, a repeat of that should see him run well.

PRICE 4/1
