14:30 Royal Ascot
The first race of the fifth and final day of Royal Ascot is the listed 7F Chesham Stakes for two year olds whose sires won a race over 1M 2F or further. The pick may be Aidan O’Brien’s Bedtime Story who looked a fine prospect on her racecourse debut at Leopardstown only 16 days ago. The grey beat odds on stable mate Giselle that day who was a big word on course and with improvement to come looks sure to run well here. It doesn’t look the strongest Chesham I’ve ever seen and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Raphael Freire trained newcomer Duke Of Monroth runs well on his debut. He cost $75,000 as a yearling but breezed well when being sold for 260,000 euros at Arcana in May. Freire has been helping Dominic Fffrench-Davis with training at Amo Racing’s base in Lambourn and his newcomer in the Coventry Angelo Buonarroti was not disgraced in finishing 9th (beaten 3L) on his debut. He can run well at a price but the main selection is Bedtime Story.

BEDTIME STORY, a daughter of Frankel out of dual Nunthorpe winner Mecca's Angel, could hardly appeal more on pedigree and, on the back of a comfortable success over the extended 7f at Leopardstown 16 days ago, the sole representative of Ballydoyle is very hard to ignore, especially when Aidan O'Brien's record in this race is taken into account. By the same sire, Age Of Gold made a pleasing start over 6f on debut at Yarmouth and, now stepped up in trip, he could be a fly in the ointment for O'Brien as he bears down on a seventh Chesham winner. There are a host of potential improvers, with stablemates Expensive Rose and Lazy Griff ones to consider each-way, while big runs from Motawahij and Jewel Of London cannot be ruled out.

Chesham Stakes Overview

First run in 1919, the Chesham Stakes was initially named after the 3rd Baron Chesham who acted as the last Master of the Buckhounds from 1900 to 1901. It is a listed race that is eligible for two-year-old horses at Royal Ascot. The race is contested over a distance of 7 furlongs at Ascot Racecourse. The race traditionally opens proceedings on the final day of Ascot.

The race was originally run over a shorter distance of just 5 furlongs and had been introduced to replace the first leg of the Triennial Stakes. Over time, the race was extended to 6 furlongs before being extended to the current 7 furlongs in 1996.

An obscure restriction is in place for the Chesham Stakes. Only horses whose sires or dams have been victorious over a distance of more than 1 mile and 1 and a half furlongs are allowed to enter.
