Run For Oscar routs Cesarewitch rivals

Stayer was in a different league for Charles Byrnes.

Run For Oscar was a comfortable winner of the Club Godolphin Cesarewitch Handicap at Newmarket.

Ridden by David Egan for trainer Charles Byrnes, the 4-1 shot was eased into the race and challenged with half a mile left to cover.

From there he worked his way through the field to find himself in a clear lead a furlong from home, eventually passing the post three lengths ahead of the runner up, Vino Victrix with the veteran Not So Sleepy third, both trained by Hughie Morrison.

The seven-year-old was racing off an 8lb higher mark than when an easy winner at Haydock last time out but he clearly had plenty more up his sleeve.
