Bedtime Story shot to the head of ante-post lists for next year's 1000 Guineas following a scintillating display in the Chesham Stakes on the final day at Royal Ascot.

A winner as an apparent second string for Aidan O'Brien at Leopardstown little over a fortnight ago, the daughter of Frankel and top-class sprinting mare Mecca's Angel was a well-supported 11-8 favourite to double her tally.
