Sutter’s Fort pounces late to land spoils
Sheikh Mohammed's 5-1 chance proved three-quarters of a length too good for the 9-4 market leader Favourite Nation with Chained Emotion denying another English raider Chinsola by a short head for third.
"That was very satisfying our horse did it well. The ideal way to ride him is to come late like Jamie did here," said Loder who also took Friday's Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury with another of Spencer's mounts Byron.
"Sutter's Fort is a good, game little horse. His one asset is a change of gear," said Spencer.
Loder will look for a Listed race next for the winner. "This was his perfect trip, just over six furlongs, and he wouldn't want it soft so everything came right today for him," he said.
An English-based Irish-born rider also took the other main race on the card as Richard Hughes produced Venturi with a perfectly-timed challenge to land the C L Weld Park Stakes at 10-1.
Misty Heights was the odds-on favourite to take the Group Three event sponsored by her trainer Dermot Weld in memory of his late father. She looked the likely winner inside the final furlong when heading lone English challenger Voile with Spencer aboard.
But supporters of the favourite failed to collect as Venturi produced a superior change of gear on the stands side to take the prize by three-quarters of a length and become the first Group winner trained by David Wachman in Tipperary.
"Venturi is a lovely filly and picked up nicely for me," said Hughes.
"She is a big, scopey sort and will have one more run this season, possibly in the Group Two Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket.
"She is a good-actioned filly and I'm delighted to be having my best season with 23 winners so far," said trainer Wachman.
Voile, who attempted to make all the running did not stay the seven furlongs, according to trainer's son Richard Hannon junior.
"She looked a winner for a while, but the last 100 yards was a bit much for her," he said.
Champion trainer Aidan O'Brien introduced a talented recruit when Yeats ran away with the Korean Racing Association Maiden over a mile.
The 6-4 favourite was always cruising in the hands of champion jockey Michael Kinane and coasted in by four lengths from another newcomer Haratila without Kinane having to get serious with the son of Sadler's Wells.
"He is a proper horse and the plan was always to give him just one race this season for experience.
"He has plenty of class and is one of our better two-year-olds," said O'Brien.
Corals make Yeats 16-1 favourite for the Vodafone Derby.
Another of O'Brien's talented two-year-olds, Necklace, is likely to lead his assault on Ascot's big meeting next Saturday.
The Moyglare Stud Stakes winner is earmarked for the Meon Valley Stud Fillies' Mile with Statue Of Liberty a possible for the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, Tycoon pencilled in for the Hackney Empire Royal Lodge Stakes and Salt Lake City being considered for the Millennium & Copthorne Hotels Diadem Stakes.
