THE GRAND VISIR (16-1) was all heart as he ran out a game winner of the Ascot Stakes under a power-packed Richard Kingscote.
The top-weight relished the longer trip and saw off the late challenge of Buildmeupbuttercup (7-1).

The mud put paid to the chances of many, but not to Ian Williams’ top-weight.
The classy handicapper revelled in the slow conditions and came from a long way back in the stamina-sapping 2m4f contest to fend off Ryan Moore and Buildmeupbuttercup.
It was slow-motion stuff up the home straight but the five-year-old is as courageous as they come and ground out a famous victory.
Willie Mullins’ mare finished in a clear second, with Time To Study (16-1) in third and Fun Mac (11-1) in fourth.

“Ian’s a dual-purpose trainer and a very good one at that.
