Chippendale on winning streak.

Two Sir Henry Cecil-trained stablemates fought out the finish of the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot, with Thomas Chippendale just getting the better of Noble Mission.

The runner-up was done no favours inside the final furlong when he was squeezed between Thought Worthy and the eventual winner
Newfangled spanks Albany rivals.

Newfangled proved a different class to her opponents in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The John Gosden-trained daughter of New Approach had created a big impression when successful on her Newmarket introduction a fortnight ago and she was a strongly-supported 7-4 favourite to follow up in this six-furlong Group Three contest.

A smart start meant she was in front from the outset and it was clear after a furlong that she was going to take some catching. William Buick asked his mount to quicken at the halfway stage and she readily put daylight between herself and her rivals in impressive style to win by two and a half lengths from Agent Allison.
