The 10-1 chance kicked out three furlongs out on his first start for 175 days, and pulled right away for a striking success.

Mongan said: “He loves it around here and has to have fast ground.

“I might send him to Kempton next month and then come back for the Ladbroke.”

Penny’s Gift left two Group-placed finishes and a desperately unlucky run in the Super Sprint behind as she blossomed in the £250,000 Watership Down Stud Sales Race.

The speedy filly takes high rank in the Richard Hannon juvenile pecking order having made the frame in both the Lowther and Albany Stakes during the height of the summer.

Sandwiched in between those runs she suffered a nightmare passage in the valuable sales event at Newbury, but there were no hard-luck stories this time as the 15-8 favourite bounced across the line a neck and a head clear of Rosy Mantle and Golden Destiny.

Hannon, celebrating his 76th two-year-old winner of the season, added: “The two-year-old’s have been good all year but this filly is something different.

“She is in the Cheveley Park and we might well go down that route.”

Sir Michael Stoute and stable jockey Ryan Moore teamed up to good effect in the Princess Royal EBF Pricewaterhousecoopers Stakes with Crystal Capella, who completed a four-timer as the 9-4 favourite.

Moore said: “They went steady so I had to go on earlier than I planned but she battled all of the way to the line. A true-run mile and a half would be perfect for her.”

Tom Queally ensured the cards fell right for the Jeremy Noseda-trained Laddies Poker Two (9-2 joint-favourite) in the six-furlong Jean Bryant Memorial Handicap.

Ladbrokes’ Mike Dillon added: “We gave away shares to winners of games of poker on the website and she is owned by those winners.

“She got injured after winning at Kempton in January and ran well last time at Newmarket, when Tom (Queally) said she wouldn’t mind dropping back to six furlongs.”

Andrew Balding clocked up his 60th winner of the year as William Buick gave Amanjena maximum assistance from the saddle to collect in the EBF Ratcliffes Syndication Classified Stakes.

The filly had been off the track for 89 days and was sent off a 10-1 chance, but slowly reeled in the front-running 9-2 favourite Australia Day to deny favourite-backers by a short head.

Balding said: “That’s her finished now but thankfully she stays in training next year.”

Marcus Tregoning is likely to put Mawatheeq away for the winter with a four-year-old campaign in mind after he readily obliged as the 11-8 favourite in the DJP International Handicap.
