Classy field for Ascot opener

HARADASUN and Sageburg lead a high-quality line-up for Tuesday’s Queen Anne Stakes, the opening event of the 2008 Royal Ascot meeting.

The former, who is trained by Aidan O’Brien, was a dual Group One winner in his native Australia and opened his European campaign by finishing sixth in the Lockinge.

He is one of three runners for O’Brien, who also fields Mount Nelson and likely outsider Honoured Guest.
