1730 Britannia Stakes
One mile

1. New Seeker (J P Spencer) 16-1
2. Helm Bank (K Dalgleish) 33-1
3. Court Masterpiece (J Murtagh) 14-1
4. Pretence (Pat Eddery) 11-1

Keith Dalgleish on Helm Bank almost came from the back to win for the second time in three races, but was edged out by Jamie Spencer on New Seeker.

New Seeker was one of just five horses to take the unfavoured far side and came home a 16-1 winner.

Helm Bank seemed to be well out of the running, but made a late charge on the near side and would not have seen New Seeker edging to victory by a neck.

Court Masterpiece was a further neck back in third, with Pretence fourth.

1655 Hampton Court Stakes
One mile and two furlongs

1. Persian Majesty (J Murtagh) 8-1
2. Foodbroker Founder (Dane O'Neill) 50-1
3. Evolving Tactics (P J Smullen) 5-1

Result stands after stewards' inquiry.

Johnny Murtagh returned from injury to land the Hampton Court Stakes on Persian Majesty.

The Irishman, who missed Wednesday's meeting following a fall on Tuesday, hit the front early on and held off 50-1 outsider Foodbroker Founder by a neck.

Evolving Tactics was two and a half lengths back in third.

It was no surprise when a stewards' inquiry was announced as there appeared to be some scrimmaging about a furlong out.

However, the result was allowed to stand.

Persian Majesty, trained by Peter Harris, was having his first race for eight months and only the second race of his life.

1620 King George V Stakes
One mile and four furlongs

1. Fantastic Love (Keith Dalgleish) 10-1
2. Salsalino (PJ Smullen) 16-1
3. Lodger (Pat Eddery) 16-1

Fantastic Love came from the back after a terrible start to beat Salsalino in a photo finish.

Fantastic Love's stablemate Double Obsession appeared to have stolen a march on his rivals and led with a furlong to run.

But Fantastic Love made the long trip round the outside to hit the front and was neck-and-neck with Salsalino until the finish.

But Keith Dalgleish's mount took it by a short head, with Lodger a further length and a half back in third.

1545 Gold Cup
Two miles and four furlongs

1. Mr Dinos (Kieren Fallon) 3-1
2. Persian Punch (Martin Dwyer) 20-1
3. Pole Star (Pat Eddery) 12-1

Kieren Fallon got his tactics spot on to win Ascot's Blue Riband event by a massive six lengths.

The champion jockey kept the four-year-old in contention before grabbing the lead from Persian Punch in the home straight and powering on for home.

Gold Cup veteran Persian Punch took up the early lead and held his momentum to take the runner's up place in his eighth time out.

Pole Star, trained by James Fanshawe, emerged from the pack to finish third.

"Mr Dinos was travelling even though he was lazy," said Fallon, who notched up his first winner of the meeting on the Paul Cole-trained horse.

"I switched him on in the final straight and he found another gear and I knew he could use his stamina."

1. Spanish Sun (Richard Hughes) 9-2
2. Ocean Silk (Jimmy Fortune) 7-2F
3. Mezzo Soprano (Frankie Dettori) 6-1

Spanish Sun held on to take the Ribblesdale Stakes by just a short head from favourite Ocean Silk.

The filly, who has not run for 269 days, showed good stamina as she made her run from the outside.

Jimmy Fortune got Ocean Silk flying towards the post but it was not enough to peg back Sir Michael Stoute's winner.

Mezzo Soprano, who had set a fast pace right from the off, settled for third place.

1430 Norfolk Stakes
Five Furlongs

1. Russian Valour (Kevin Darley) 4-1
2. Khelef (Frankie Dettori) 8-13F
3. Nevisian Lad (Kieren Fallon) 20-1

Russian Valour made all the running to cause an upset in the opening race of day three.

Kevin Darley pushed the two-year-old on along the rails to beat hot favourite Khelef by a length and three-quarters, with Nevisian Lad running on well for third.

Russian Valour continued a good week for trainer Mark Johnston who notched up his 17th Ascot winner and his third juvenile winner of the week.

"Russian Valour found a bit extra to come back when the other runners were closing him down but I knew he was the one to beat," Johnston said after the race.
