FRANKIE DETTORI bagged a second winner at Royal Ascot this week as Tha'ir powered clear of his rivals in the final furlong of the Chesham Stakes to win by two and a quarter lengths.
The recent Ripon winner was a third two-year-old winner of the week for first-season sire New Approach as he shot out of the pack up the far side to win at 9-2.
Cruck Realta finished best of the four runners Mick Channon had in the race back in second with a further neck back to Godolphin's other runner, the Mahmood Al Zarooni-trained Lovely Pass.
Cruck Realta and stablemate The Sixties had been contesting the lead since the off and it looked like Move To Strike would be the biggest danger to that pair as they raced towards the final furlong.
However it was Saeed Bin Suroor's runner who came out on top to give the trainer a second win in the race and earn a quote of 25-1 from Paddy Power for next year's Qipco 2,000 Guineas.
Dettori said: "The further he was going the better he was winning and he is a nice horse for the future."
Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford added: "That was fantastic and what a week for New Approach. I am really excited. It has been a fantastic week for the team and I am really pleased."
