Another trip to Doncaster for the Betfred Champagne Stakes is next on the agenda for Chancellor following his impressive return to winning ways.
The Kingman colt made a real impression on his racecourse debut on Town Moor in early July and he was then stepped up in class for the Pat Eddery Stakes on King George day at Ascot.
John and Thady Gosden’s youngster was a beaten odds-on favourite in that Listed event, but was not disgraced in finishing third behind Al Qudra and subsequent Stonehenge Stakes winner New Century.
Connections feel Chancellor is better than he showed at Ascot and having since seen him regain the winning thread with a dominant front-running victory back at Doncaster, he is now set for a Group Two assignment at next month’s St Leger meeting.
Chris Richardson, managing director for owners Cheveley Park Stud, said: “He got slightly worked up at Ascot in the saddling enclosure. It was too much for him and he got a little bit overwhelmed, I think.
“It was nice to see him nice and calm back at Doncaster the other day and he won nicely.
“All being well, the plan is to head back there for the Champagne Stakes.”
