Fintry oozed class as she overcame a 7lb penalty and a 90-day absence to land the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association Atalanta Stakes at Sandown Park.

Andre Fabre's French raider (6-4 favourite) had been laid low with a cough since winning a Group Two at Chantilly on her previous start, but that did not stop her making a successful return as she warmed up for a crack at the Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket.

She bounded clear under Maxime Guyon after heading the pacesetting Audacia and came home a length and a quarter clear of the staying-on Odeliz, with Water Hole third.

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."

Tony McCoy is set to miss Cheltenham's Open meeting and has resigned himself to being out of action for around two weeks due to the recurrence of an injury suffered at Worcester a month ago.

The 19-times champion jockey was initially sidelined for a short spell after taking a crashing fall from the Rebecca Curtis-trained Keep Presenting on October 9, before returning only to be stood down after riding at Wetherby the following week.

Stiffer tasks await Faugheen as the season progresses and although Walsh is of the belief his mount could be well up to mixing it with the best later in the campaign, he still has a bit to prove as yet.
