ONCE met, never forgotten. That is certainly the case with Anne Cowley who will be at Royal Ascot today to see her home-bred colt Tip Two Win revert to sprinting and take on a quality field for the Group 1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes. I met Anne briefly when the son of Dark Angel won the Al Biddah Mile in Doha, Qatar in February 2018.

Next time out he chased home Saxon Warrior, with Masar third, in the Group 1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas, before being denied third place by a head in the Group 1 St James’s Palace Stakes. He is returning after a long break and best wishes to Anne. She joined Jake and I for lunch on Tuesday at Ascot where we all enjoyed the splendid setting of the Rose Terrace.
