Mill Stream features in confirmations for Saturday feature
Dual Classic-placed Haatem headlines Jersey Stakes.
All the major contenders for Saturday’s Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes stood their ground among 19 acceptors for the final Group One of Royal Ascot on Saturday. Ralph Beckett’s Kinross, Jane Chapple-Hyam’s Mill Stream and Archie Watson’s Shartash are all prominent in the betting for a race won 12 months ago by Charlie Hills’ 80-1 outsider Khaadem, who is back to defend his title. Tim Easterby’s Art Power, a winner at the track on Champions Day, and Mitbaahy, a stablemate of Khaadem, are also engaged.🤯 80/1 shock in the QEII Jubilee Stakes!

A cracking renewal of the Jersey Stakes looks assured with Richard Hannon’s Haatem, placed in both the Guineas at Newmarket and the Irish version, set to wear new silks for the first time. He has been among a swathe of new purchases for Wathnan Racing and will be the mount of James Doyle. It will be far from a cakewalk, however, as he could take on the likes of Task Force, Evade, Indian Run and Frankel’s half-brother Kikkuli.
