Cirrus Des Aigles may have been vanquished later in the day, but Charm Spirit proudly flew the French flag with a power-packed late surge to take the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot.

In doing so, Freddy Head's prolific colt became the first QEII winner from across the Channel for 21 years in what was a rather messy renewal of the great race.

Olivier Peslier managed to find a gap on the three-year-old (5-1) and had enough in hand to hold the unlucky-in-running Night Of Thunder by half a length, with the 2-1 favourite's Richard Hannon-trained stablemate Toormore just behind in third

Hughes revels in 'sweet' success.

Quote:

Richard Hughes has spoken of his delight at effectively being crowned champion jockey for a third successive season.

Hughes has been chasing Ryan Moore's tail for much of the campaign but has stamped his authority on the challenge in recent weeks, often riding at two meetings a day in an insatiable quest for winners.

Magician is set to lead Aidan O'Brien's assault on the Breeders' Cup as he bids to win the Turf for the second year running.

Ryan Moore was in the saddle when Magician defeated The Fugue at Santa Anita last year but O'Brien's son, Joseph, is set to be in the plate on Saturday week.

Trophy proves a stroll in Park.

Quote:

Elm Park emerged as a serious contender for the Investec Derby from the historic Kingsclere stables when running out an impressive all-the-way winner of the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster.

A statue of 1971 Derby hero Mill Reef adorns the yard and is a permanent reminder of days gone by, when Ian Balding held the licence.

Now it is his son Andrew who rules the roost, but as he was in Australia supervising Side Glance's effort in the Cox Plate earlier in the day, it was left to his father to greet the winner, which he bred under the Kingsclere banner.

The Roger Varian-trained colt will run jointly for Godolphin and Prince Faisal for the remainder of his career, wearing the blue of Sheikh Mohammed's operation.

Paul Nicholls is set to rely on Silviniaco Conti in Saturday's bet365 Charlie Hall Chase after revealing Rocky Creek will instead head to Down Royal on the same afternoon.

Silviniaco Conti was successful in the Wetherby highlight two years ago for the champion trainer and will bid to regain his crown ahead of a likely bid to do the same in the Betfair Chase at Haydock next month.

Vert De Grece clinched Group One glory on his first start for Roger Varian with a most impressive display in the Criterium International at Saint-Cloud.

Runner-up on his debut at Leopardstown in early June before going one better at the same track two months later, the Verglas colt then filled the runner-up spot behind the high-class Gleneagles in the Futurity Stakes at the Curragh.

The 8-1 chance sprang a small surprise in the staying feature after the stable's success with Wishfull Thinking in the Old Roan Chase last weekend..

Protectionist wins The Melbourne Cup.

Quote:

Ryan Moore confirmed his position as one of the best jockeys in the world by winning the Emirates Melbourne Cup at Flemington aboard German raider Protectionist.

Moore came with a turbo-charged late surge inside the final furlong to deny the remarkable Red Cadeaux, who was finishing second in the Group One handicap for a third time.

Moore said: "He's won very easily, like a very good horse."
