THERE are plenty of horses to note from the week so far. Chessman probably ran better than his finishing position in seventh place suggests in the Jersey Stakes, Qemah may not have got due recognition for her Duke of Cambridge win as a lot of the focus was on Usherette’s troubled path. Remarkable was unlucky again in the Royal Hunt Cup and there is surely a big (Ascot) handicap in him off his current mark, Drochaid did well to finish fourth in a hot King George V Handicap.

Also, King George V Handicap winner Atty Persse is surely worthy of his place in a group race now, and it could be worth following all four of the horses who filled the first four places in the Hampton Court, Benbatl, Orderofthegarter, Mirage Dancer and Taj Mahal.
