Forgotten Voice stakesa Ascot claim

Forgotten Voice served notice that he could be one of Jeremy Noseda's major players at Royal Ascot when preserving his unbeaten record under Shane Kelly in the williamhill.com - Choosing Chelsea? Jubilee Handicap at Kempton today.

Having been raised 8lb to a mark of 90 for his narrow comeback triumph at this course, the 4-5 shot was given a similarly patient ride by Kelly and quickly put his stamp on proceedings when asked to assert, scoring by three lengths from Multakka.

Noseda, asked whether the Royal Hunt Cup could be in the offing, replied: "Thank God he'll have learned for the future and will mature into his job. The Hunt Cup might be on our minds, yes."

He added: "He's only had the one run at the trip but he's ready to go up another level. His two races on the all-weather have been ideal for him at their particular point of his education."

Kelly made it a double when guiding Tony Carroll's Eforetta (15-2) to a length verdict over Dayia in the williamhill.com - Backing Barca? Handicap.

John Gosden made an impromptu visit to the course and those who took note were rewarded with a 14-1 winner courtesy of Uniquely Poised in the second division of the williamhill.com - Are You On Arsenal? Maiden Stakes.

The American-bred colt had not shown much on his debut behind stablemate Sopranist at the Craven meeting, but had clearly learned much from that experience as he ran out a clear-cut winner under Jimmy Fortune.

In completing a double for his jockey, Uniquely Poised stormed home by five lengths and half a length from Sam Sharp and Big Bay.

Gosden said: "The change in the surface has proved the key. He's been working well since Newmarket and is US-bred. It made a big difference."

The trainer had earlier received a reverse when Invisible Man proved a disappointing favourite in the first leg of the three-year-old maiden.

The colt could manage only fourth behind 25-1 shocker Rainbow Peak, who came home a length ahead of Sovereign Remedy for Michael Jarvis and Neil Callan.

An early theme was the success of forcing tactics, with Avon River, Glamorous Spirit and Megalala all leading throughout when taking the first three races.

Avon River (11-4) had clearly learned much from his Bath debut and, under a Fortune ride, showed useful gate speed to go clear and hold Paradise Dream by two and a quarter lengths in the williamhill.com - Best Football Odds Fact! Maiden Stakes.

Richard Hannon was at Windsor and was represented by one of his owners, Paul Merritt, who said: "His first run was a massive learning curve and he needs further.

"He's been a little bit lazy at home, but beat a couple of good ones today."

Glamorous Spirit blew her rivals away under Kevin Ghunowa in the williamhill.com - Can Shearer Save Newcastle? Handicap.

Ron Harris' filly, who holds the track record for five furlongs, made full use of her draw against the fence and soon had her rivals flat to the boards.

The 7-1 chance came home a length and a quarter clear of Lenny Bee.

The Chepstow trainer, who admitted to enjoying a nice touch, said: "It's an absolute bonanza, and I couldn't believe the price.

"She's the track record holder, was back to her best distance and was drawn right. How she started at 7-1 I just don't know, but I'm not complaining!"

Neil Chalmers left something up his sleeve to repel the late thrust of Chalice Welcome on Megalala (12-1) in the williamhill.com - Wanna Bet Man Utd? Handicap.

John Bridger's charge held on by half a length and his jockey reported: "This is the way I rode him when I won twice on him before, and the idea was to wind things up from three out.

"That's my first winner of the Flat season."
