HOLLOWAY BAY was the only newcomer taking part in the Listed Chesham Stakes at Ascot but came from last to first to win with plenty in hand. He can take this step up in class in his stride and confirm running with Dark Thirty. The latter has since been beaten again in the Superlative at Newmarket while Mysterious Night came up short in the July Stakes at Headquarters and is upped in trip. Dear My Friend and stablemate Dornoch Castle remain unbeaten having both returned convincing winners at Beverley and Ayr respectively while Galeron won over 6f here last month and Marbaan defied a penalty at Salisbury.
