Natasha Stakes (LR)
Friar Fox improved markedly on her fast finishing second here last start in the Ascot One Thousand Guineas (Listed, 1800m) two weeks ago, clearing out to win handsomely. Much handier this time, she settled fifth, one out past the 1600m improving to fourth at the 1200m. Rider Shaun O'Donnell pushed forward to third approaching the last corner ready to pounce and into the straight levelled up to share the lead. Travelling beautifully she bounded clear and cruised to the line by three lengths for win four from seven starts and her maiden stakes win. Midfield turning in, Modern News kept up a strong run to nab a good second late from Like A Butterfly who took over into the straight and kept going quite well to take third. Summer's Skye ran on from midfield for fourth.
