Munro the Art master

Alan Munro got Gold Cup day off to the best possible start with victory on Dutch Art at Royal Ascot.

Munro, who rides Sergeant Cecil in the big race, took the Norfolk Stakes in good style on the two-year-old trained by Peter Chapple-Hyam.

Making his challenge in the centre of the course, Dutch Art (11-4) won by a length and three-quarters from the 2-1 favourite Hoh Mike, with Cav Okay a length away third.
