im Goldie celebrated a first Royal Ascot success after his progressive sprinter American Affair (11/1) landed the G1 King Charles III Stakes under Paul Mulrennan. A significant improver through the handicap ranks since the beginning of last season, American Affair did not enjoy the rub of the green when fifth in the G2 Temple Stakes at Haydock Park. However, with no trouble in running today, the five-year-old moved into contention before digging deep to fend off a sustained challenge from Frost At Dawn (28/1) by a neck. Regional (9/1), second in this race 12 months ago, finished third. Goldie has had horses hit the frame at Royal Ascot before, including Sir Chauvelin in the 2018 Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes. Goldie said: “I have trained the family for three generations, so it's very sweet. This horse's grandfather [Orientor] had his day here [at the Shergar Cup], so we're pretty lucky that we can breed horses like that. "American Affair is just getting faster. We went seven furlongs at Wetherby in his maiden, but we've learnt to run him over the right trip. We took him back to five and he is just getting better and better. "I was quite confident he could do it today. He has the talent. I knew he was probably one of the fastest horses in the race, but it's how you control that. We've come down a day early, got him relaxed and it all fell into place. It means a lot.” Mulrennan said: “It all went pretty smooth, I got a lovely tow along there. We just tweaked a couple of things today – we put a hood on him. The last day nothing went right at Haydock. Jim has always had a lot of faith in American Affair, and he is a good horse.

Harry Eustace is now a Group 1-winning trainer after Docklands (14/1) edged out 5/2 favourite Rosallion in a thrilling finish to the G1 Queen Anne Stakes. Ascot specialist Docklands, who finished second in the meeting’s curtain-raiser 12 months ago and won the Britannia Stakes in 2023, challenged on the far side of the 10 runners, with Rosallion coming through on the near side. Despite jockey Mark Zahra dropping his whip entering the final furlong, Docklands found plenty for pressure to deny Rosallion by a nose and make amends for an unlucky defeat at Epsom Downs 10 days ago. Runner-up Rosallion, winner of the G1 St James’s Palace Stakes on this card last year, took a nice step forward from his third in the G1 Lockinge Stakes. Cairo (100/1) outran his odds in third for Alice Haynes, just edging out the unlucky Notable Speech. Eustace said: “I have lost my voice, I am afraid; that was pretty sweet. It was tough watching, and the photo was tough. I wasn't happy with the pace early on; Docklands did his usual thing, just stepped slow and I was cursing him to be honest, but he is just an absolute star.
