BE IN TOPGEAR

French raider has the necessary drive

- By Mark Winstanley

AIDAN O'BRIEN has been cleaning up in the juvenile races at Royal Ascot this week so the portents look good for MOMENTS OF JOY (2.30) in the Chesham Stakes over seven furlongs.

This daughter of Justify made a successful start to her career when scoring at Leopardstown 18 days ago, and her great trainer took this event with another member of the fairer sex, Bedtime Story, last year.

William Haggas has stuck a pair of cheekpieces on SPACE LEGEND (3.05) for the first time and this four-year-old showed his liking for course and distance when chasing home the top-class Calandagan at this meeting last year.
