Bedtime Story secures Silver Flash victory in smooth fashion

Spectacular Chesham Stakes winner remains favourite for next year’s 1000 Guineas.

Impressive Royal Ascot winner Bedtime Story comfortably maintained her unbeaten record with a professional display in the Jockey Club of Turkey Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown.

Aidan O’Brien’s daughter of Frankel, who is out of the speedy Mecca’s Angel, returned to the scene of her winning debut following her spectacular nine-and-a-half-length romp against the colts in the Chesham Stakes.

Sent off as a prohibitive 1-16 favourite in the hands of Ryan Moore for this Group Three contest, her jockey never had a moment’s worry as Bedtime Story was urged to move alongside stablemate Exactly with a furlong to run before breezing away for a commanding three-and-a-half-length success.

In the aftermath, she was left unchanged as the 5-2 favourite for next year’s 1000 Guineas by Paddy Power and made the 8-1 ante-post market leader for the Oaks.
