Royal Ascot: Holloway Boy wins Chesham on debut

Holloway Boy powered home on his racecourse debut under Danny Tudhope to take the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot for trainer Karl Burke.

The strapping Ulysses colt took apart his 13 rivals in what looked a strong renewal, the 40-1 chance cruising in behind early pacesetters Alzahir and Aidan O’Brien-trained Alfred Munnings, yet he had a bit to find when Pearling Path (80-1) eased to the front approaching a furlong out.

Tudhope had every move covered on the Nick White and Elaine Burke-owned colt, however, and he went on to score by a length, with Lakota Sioux (33-1) a further length and a half back in third.

Alfred Munnings was uneasy in the market beforehand and having had every chance, he dropped away rather tamely.

Wow! An impressive run on debut from Holloway Boy to take the Chesham Stakes with a late surge
