Chancellor looking to profit in Pat Eddery Stakes
The John and Thady Gosden colt impressed when winning on debut at Doncaster.
Chancellor has the chance to take high-rank in the juvenile division when he takes part in a red-hot Flexjet Pat Eddery Stakes at Ascot on Saturday. Trained by John and Thady Gosden, he was sent to Doncaster for his debut, where he effortlessly overcame a slow start to breeze into contention a furlong from home before surging clear of his rivals in the closing stages. It was a performance that has connections purring with excitement ahead of the colt’s step up to Listed level, as he also stretches out to seven furlongs, with Robert Havlin in the saddle once again.Very impressive debut – Chancellor, a son of Breeders’ Cup winner Queen’s Trust, is slow away but does really well to win at @DoncasterRaces for Rab Havlin, the Gosdens and @CPStudOfficial… pic.twitter.com/XFdXd5DCdW

“He was pretty impressive as we saw at Doncaster and we were thrilled that he transmitted a bit of what we saw on the gallops to the racecourse,” said Chris Richardson, managing director of owners Cheveley Park Stud. “Everyone seems happy and this looks like a good next opportunity for him and it is exciting to have a colt with a bit of potential I think. “He seems in great order and John and Thady seem very happy with him. It’s nice that Robert Havlin can retain the ride and we can continue that association.” Those sentiments we’re echoed by Chancellor’s Clarehaven training team, with Thady Gosden pleased with what he has seen at home since his charge’s winning bow on Town Moor. He said: “He won smartly at Doncaster first time out, he won in impressive style over six and can get further.
