Former jumping acquaintances Peter Niven and Graham Lee teamed up on the Flat to take the honours with mud-lover Clever Cookie in the Boodles Diamond Ormonde Stakes at Chester.

It was a memorable moment for Niven as he provided Grand National-winning rider Lee with his last ever winner over jumps with Posh Bird in the North Yorkshire Grand National at Catterick in January 2012.

Believe is new star for Fabre.

Quote:

Make Believe gave Andre Fabre his sixth win in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains (French 2000 Guineas) when making all to beat his stablemate New Bay in impressive style at Longchamp.

The highly regarded Highland Reel broke well for Ryan Moore but could never build on his good early position and Aidan O'Brien's representative finished only sixth, never threatening to take a hand in the finish.

Ervedya denies game Rookie.

Jean-Claude Rouget hailed a filly who "has it all" after Ervedya gave the trainer back-to-back victories in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (French 1000 Guineas) when pouncing late at Longchamp.

Successful 12 months ago with Avenir Certain, Rouget struck again with a talented filly, this time owned by the Aga Khan.

Quote:

Golden Horn ran out a thoroughly impressive winner of the Betfred Dante at York.

William Buick's mount was the perceived second string of John Gosden's two runners, going off at odds of 4-1 as opposed to 2-1 favourite and stablemate Jack Hobbs with both colts unbeaten heading into the key Derby trial.

Secret Gesture led from pillar to post as she returned to action with a Group Three win in the Betfred Middleton Stakes at York.

The Ralph Beckett-trained five-year-old finished second in the race in 2014 but went one place better in some style as she held off Talmada by a length and half.

Snow Sky and Brown Panther will not meet in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot next month following their swashbuckling duel in the Betway Yorkshire Cup on the Knavesmire.

The former narrowly seized the day in a fine renewal of York's big staying prize, but trainer Sir Michael Stoute has mapped out an even more exotic adventure for the progressive four-year-old colt than a return to Berkshire this summer.

Dermot Weld admits Golden Horn will be tough to beat in the Investec Derby but he is happy with the way Zawraq is progressing ahead of the Classic.

The Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum-owned colt bypassed his intended prep in the Derrinstown Derby Trial as he had missed a piece of work and Weld did not want to risk him on very soft ground.
