House shines in Brigadier.

Carlton House (10-11 favourite) made an accomplished return from a long absence by claiming the Betfair Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown.
The Sir Michael Stoute-trained colt, owned by Her Majesty The Queen, had not been sighted since finishing fourth in the Irish Derby last June, but looked the essence of vitality in Esher, and was perhaps a little too keen to get on with things, virtually from the start, as Colombian's early pace was sedate at best.
I'm A Dreamer came through to lead two furlongs out, closely followed by Hunter's Light on her outside, but Carlton House bisected that duo as they sprinted inside the final furlong to collect by a length and three-quarters in the hands of Ryan Moore.

Poll tops charts in Henry II.

The honourably consistent Opinion Poll secured another big race in the Betfair Henry II Stakes at Sandown.
Trained by Mahmood Al Zarooni and ridden by Frankie Dettori, the six-year-old stayer could not have looked any more stylish in the Group Three over an extended two miles.

Dettori double as Cogito strikes.

The Frankie Dettori-ridden Cogito (8-1) won an engaging renewal of the Betfair Heron Stakes, giving the jockey a double on the Sandown card after his win in the Henry II Stakes on Opinion Poll.
Brian Meehan's colt preserved his unbeaten record by taking some not inconsiderable scalps courtesy of another cute ride from the Italian.

Fugue Maybe able to turn the tables.

The Fugue bids to reverse the 1000 Guineas form with Maybe when she lines up in the Investec Oaks at Epsom on Friday.
John Gosden's filly was one place behind the Ballydoyle representative in fourth spot at Newmarket and has since run out a convincing winner over Twirl in the Musidora Stakes over an extended mile and a quarter at York.

Oaks trip Maybe an issue - O'Brien.

Joseph O'Brien has his fingers crossed Maybe will last home when she steps up to a mile and a half in the Investec Oaks at Epsom on Friday.
The 19-year-old is excited at the prospect of partnering the daughter of Galileo, who heads a strong team of fillies from his father Aidan's stable in the fillies' Classic, and though he was convinced Maybe would stay the eight furlongs of the Qipco 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, this extra half a mile is another matter.
