Mission possible for mighty Noble.

Noble Mission emulated his illustrious full brother Frankel when landing an emotional victory in the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot.
The five-year-old, trained by Lady Cecil, has lived in the shadow of Frankel all his career but enjoyed his finest hour as he made all of the running in this Group One showpiece.
Noble Mission (7-1) pulled out all the stops for James Doyle to hold off Al Kazeem by a neck after a terrific tussle, while Free Eagle stayed on strongly for third place, a length and a quarter behind.
Frankel ended his racing days with victory in this race two years ago, when trained by the late Henry Cecil.

Nice to see Lady Jane gaining a much deserved success.
