Pallasator emerged a worthy winner of a tactical renewal of the Group Three BetVictor Henry II Stakes at Sandown yesterday.

Mutual Regard completed a clean sweep for Ireland in the four major races at York’s Betfred Ebor meeting on Saturday, in the process proving beyond all doubt that Johnny Murtagh is going to be as big a force in the training ranks as he was in the saddle.

Peter Niven had many great times as a jockey but is just as excited for the biggest moment of his training career as he saddles the well-fancied Clever Cookie in today’s Betfred Ebor at York.

Pallasator boosted his claims for the Betfred Ebor with an emphatic victory in the GL Events Owen Brown Handicap at Ascot yesterday.
