JOHN Gosden, Frankie Dettori and owners Lord and Lady Lloyd Webber were right to be pleased with Lah Ti Dar and were in excellent spirits anyway, the filly’s full-brother Too Darn Hot (Dubawi-Dar Re Mi) having comfortably seen off the opposition in the Group 2 Howcroft Industrial Supplies Champagne Stakes over seven furlongs.

Bye Bye Hong Kong and Cardini were always well to the fore and Too Darn Hot (4/11) had work to do when the pace quickened. However, he has both speed and stamina and moved through to lead before the furlong marker, opening up a gap of nearly two lengths over Phoenix Of Spain at the line, with the Ballydoyle pair Cardini and Van Beethoven next.
