Lunch hangs on in Woodcote

Legendary Lunch held on to claim the Woodcote Stakes at to provide with a third win in the race in four years.

Hannon’s juvenile was beaten by Sea Of Snow at last time and it was the filly who led from Hyperfocus during the early stages of the 6f contest.

Tibr travelled strongly into contention, but found little for pressure as Pat Dobbs enjoyed a dream run through up the inside rail on Legendary Lunch to take a couple of lengths out of the field.

However, Danielsflyer came with a sustained challenge down the outside and looked likely to land the Listed prize only for Legendary Lunch to get the verdict by a nose.

There was a 25/1 shock in the Investec Wealth & Investment Stakes as Imshivalla confirmed her love of soft ground to see off the front-running Gold Prince.

Edward had attempted to make all aboard Gold Prince, but he was collared two furlongs out by on Imshivalla and the mare kept on well to win by a length-and-a-quarter.

What About Carlo stayed on well for third, while the favourite Dark Red could only manage fourth after being unable to quicken up with the principals inside the final two furlongs.
