DAVID O’Meara’s Lord Glitters made the most of a clear-cut opportunity in the opening Group 3 Strensall Stakes over nine furlongs. The son of Whipper prevailed by a hard-fought half-length over Mustashry with Chief Ironside third.

This was his first group victory for the five-year-old, though he ran a blinder to be second in the Group 1 Queen Anne at Royal Ascot. The Queen Elizabeth II Stakes looks an ideal target.
