Lauded earns high praise and in Coventry picture with Haydock victory

Royal Ascot quotes for promising Dascombe winner.

Lauded threw his hat into the ring for Royal Ascot with a taking debut in the Betway EBF Novice Stakes at Haydock.

With juveniles from powerful yards such as Mark Johnston, Saeed bin Suroor, William Haggas and Richard Hannon in opposition, the fact Lauded was only a 7-2 chance suggested a big run was expected.

Tom Dascombe’s charge looked professional through the race and once Richard Kingscote asked him to go about his business the son of Acclamation quickly put matters to bed, beating Bin Suroor’s Fast Start by four and a half lengths.

“He’s been like that at home, very professional,” said Kingscote.

“I was really pleased with him, he quickened up well, raced on his own but still carried on straight and put his head down nicely. It was very promising.

“I think Ascot was the goal. From what we’ve seen elsewhere and what he’s just done there, he ought to be going really.”

The winner was introduced into the betting for the Coventry Stakes at 12-1 by Coral.

Kingscote was involved in a nasty crash on his way home from Newcastle last week, but thankfully no one was injured.

“I’m absolutely fine, I was lucky. There was only me involved, I just hit some water, the car lost it and off I went,” he said.
