Zaidan claims Chesham crown

Clive Brittain’s Zaidan maintained his unbeaten record with an impressive performance in the Chesham Stakes, the opening event on the final day of Royal Ascot.

Sent off at 7-1 following debut success at Doncaster, the juvenile was sent to the front a long way from home by Seb Sanders and quickly opened up an advantage.

Sonning Rose finished strongly up the rail but Zaidan already had the race in safe keeping and passed the post with three lengths in hand.
