Champlain moment for Jarvis

Michael Jarvis registered his first Royal Ascot victory of the week with Champlain in the Chesham Stakes.

Philip Robinson was always close to the pace aboard the Sheikh Mohammed-owned colt and swept past long-time leader Middleham approaching the one-furlong marker.

Champlain, sent off the 7-2 second-favourite, did his job with real professionalism from then on to take the Listed prize with two lengths in hand from Aidan O’Brien’s Country Song.

Middleham stayed on gamely for third, a head further behind.
