Borderlescott (centre) wins at Chester
The durable Borderlescott overcame plenty of trouble in running to get off the mark for the campaign in the toteswinger City Wall Stakes at Chester.
Last year's Nunthorpe winner was sent off the 6-5 market leader after finishing fifth in the King's Stand at Royal Ascot.
But after bouncing out of the gates, he was soon shuffled back and stuck behind rivals.
Robin Bastiman's stable star was bumped before the turn for home but when the gap came in the straight, the seven-year-old knuckled down well to beat the fast-finishing Captain Gerrard by one length.
Bastiman said: "I keep telling everybody he only comes to himself in July and August.
"I know he's a year older, but the engine is still there.
"He'll go to Glorious Goodwood and, at this stage, I would say he'll go for the Group Three (Audi Stakes) as he'd have another 3lb penalty in the Stewards' Cup.
"Then we'll go to York for the Nunthorpe."
Winning jockey Pat Cosgrave added: "He's tough and genuine and I jumped nearly too good, really, as he likes to have something to tow him along for a while.
"I just slotted in on the fence and I took him back a bit further than I wanted because it was just getting so tight in there.
"I just accepted it as they were going quick and, thankfully, the gap was there for me in the straight."

TELEPHONE CUSTOMERS LAND 10/3 GAMBLE...
A great day on Saturday. Barry put up SECRET SOCIETY at Ascot (1.50). The result was...
| 1st | 3 Secret Society | 10-3 |
| 2nd | 5 Suruor (IRE) | 9-1 |
| 3rd | 1 Khor Dubai (IRE) | 12-1 |
Barry told you before the race, read what was reported after it....
Secret Society progressed from his second-place finish in the Britannia Stakes to be produced late by Jamie Spencer and claim the totescoop6 at Ascot.
Michael Bell's Exceed And Excel colt was beaten just a head at the Royal meeting, and scored by the same margin on his return to the Queen's racecourse.
The 100-30 chance travelled sweetly in the slipstream of Suruor, and despite taking a few seconds to find his stride, he led beneath the shadow of the post for a cheeky success.
"He lost two shoes before the race and another one during it. One of those pricked him slightly, so his turn of foot may not have been as quick as normal," said Spencer.
"I think that if I had played my cards later at Royal Ascot he may have won, but his turn of foot takes you there so quickly when he's against good opposition."
VC Bet trimmed the three-year-old to 12-1 for the totesport Mile at Glorious Goodwood, while William Hill were more impressed and go just 8-1.
William Haggas saddled Shamali to a resounding victory in the Euro Earthworks Handicap.
The four-year-old displayed the benefit of his previous two outings this year to steam past 3-1 favourite Mabuya at the one-furlong marker and cross the line nearly three lengths clear.
Haggas said of the 7-2 winner: "He was in an uncompromising position turning for home, but he has gone on and done it well.
"He has taken time to come to himself and is a big horse, but we have always thought he has ability."
