BARNEY Roy and Dabyah both enhanced their Classic claims with impressive Group Three victories at Newbury on Saturday, while Her Majesty The Queen was also present on day two of the Dubai Duty Free Spring Trials Weekend to see her colours carried to victory by Call To Mind.

The Queen, who celebrated her 91st birthday at Newbury the day before, returned to the course to see Call To Mind, a three-year-old Galileo colt whom she also bred, capture division one of the £8,000 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships Maiden over a mile.

Trained by William Haggas and ridden by Ryan Moore, the 6/4 favourite quickened well to take the lead inside the final furlong, seeing off the challenge of Commander (Roger Varian/Andrea Atzeni, 5/2) to prevail by a neck on his racecourse debut.

Her Majesty’s colours were also carried in division two of the £8,000 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships Maiden by Musical Terms (William Haggas/Ryan Moore, 5/2), who ran well to take second, two lengths behind shock 100/1 winner Duke Of Bronte (Rod Millman/Ryan Tate).

Wiltshire-based Richard Hannon Snr is the joint most successful trainer in the 10-runner Group Three JLT Greenham Stakes with six wins including subsequent Group One winners Paco Boy, Dick Turpin and Olympic Glory, and his son Richard gained his first victory in the race with Godolphin recruit Barney Roy, who stormed to a decisive win under James Doyle.

Godolphin’s other runner in the seven-furlong contest, 9/4 favourite Dream Castle (Saeed bin Suroor/Oisin Murphy) quickened into a clear advantage over a furlong out, but 5/2 shot Barney Roy produced a strong run to take the lead entering the final half-furlong and galloped out strongly for a two-length success. Zainhom (Sir Michael Stoute/Jim Crowley) finished third, a further four lengths in arrears.

Hannon said: “Barney Roy has relaxed enormously. I was a bit worried coming back from a mile to seven furlongs and he just took his time getting going. I thought he was in trouble four down but then he went ‘whoosh’.

“I have liked him for a long time and he has got a chance of going to the 2,000 Guineas. He will get a trip as well now that he is more relaxed.

“I did say in the summer he might get a Derby trip, whether he gets that far I don’t know. I definitely think he will stay further, but a strong-run mile will suit him well.”

Doyle added: “I think he is crying out to step up to a mile and is going to stay beyond that with no problem. He is definitely a nice mile and a quarter horse in the making.”

In-form trainer John Gosden continued his fine start to the 2017 Flat season with a near 60/1 treble including a pair of G3 victories through Dabyah and Muntahaa.

The 6/4 favourite Dabyah made all of the running for a cosy success in the £60,000 G3 Dubai Duty Free Stakes (2.30pm) over seven furlongs. Frankie Dettori gave the Abdullah Saeed Al Naboodah-owned three-year-old filly a confident ride as she came home a length and a quarter ahead of Urban Fox (25/1, James Tate/Martin Harley).

The same owner, trainer and jockey combination teamed up to take the Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket on April 19 with Daban, and both fillies look set to take up Classic engagements.
