Frankel thrills in Newmarket work.

Frankel completed his preparation for the JLT Lockinge Stakes with a workout on grass in Newmarket that left trainer Sir Henry Cecil "delighted" with his unbeaten champion.
Cecil resisted the temptation to work Khalid Abdullah's colt round the bend where he sustained the minor leg injury that put his training schedule back, and caused connections a wait of several anxious days for the result of a scan which revealed no damage to his tendon.

Vow impressive in Oaks trial.

Vow advertised her Classic credentials with an impressive victory in the Betfred 'The Bonus King' Oaks Trial Stakes at Lingfield.
Sent off the 11-10 favourite after winning on her debut at Newbury last month, the William Haggas-trained daughter of Motivator was well placed throughout the Listed event, bowling along on the heels of leader Estrela.
The pair kicked clear at the entrance to the straight and though Vow showed signs of greenness as she veered right then left when hitting the front, she was straightened up by Johnny Murtagh and had no trouble holding the late thrust of Colima by three and a quarter lengths.

Main keeps up winning sequence.

Main Sequence was ticketed for the Investec Derby after justifying a jump up in class when extending his unbeaten run to four with a cosy success in the Betfred Derby Trial at Lingfield.
The David Lanigan-trained colt (3-1) was coming off success in a handicap at the Newmarket Craven meeting, but despite flashing his tail proved too determined for the 5-4 favourite Shantaram, wining with something in hand by three-quarters of a length under Ted Durcan.
There was a big gap to the third Cavaleiro and connections are in principle keen to go on to Epsom with their son of Aldebaran, who was trimmed to 16-1 from 25s for the Investec Derby by Ladbrokes.

Ellison goes Global at Ascot.

Brian Ellison has had his horses in cracking form through the spring and the Malton trainer landed another big prize as Global Village claimed the Betfred Victoria Cup at Ascot.
Not surprisingly, the 24-runner field split into two groups through the early stages, and the far side was to prove the place to be in the richly endowed seven-furlong contest.
Dropped out early on, the Tadhg O'Shea-ridden Global Village (9-1) could be spotted making definite progress a furlong and a half from home and he saw his race out well to beat Bonnie Brae by three-quarters of a length. King Of Jazz was another length and a quarter away in third, with Brae Hill fourth.
