Trained by John Dunlop, and owned by Normandie Stud, Samuel has some fine place form in top races, including a third to Geordieland in the Yorkshire Cup.

On Saturday at York he came home in fine style in the 1m6f Listed race to win, beating a quality field. Jockey Eddie Ahern believes the horse would enjoy easier ground and do even better.

John Dunlop was at Newbury in the evening to greet Badweia after the filly took the 6f maiden race. She had failed to stay an extended 1m1f last time and enjoyed a drop in distance.

At the same meeting, Angmering Park trainer Lady Herries sent out Cleaver, now seven, to win over 1 mile 5 furlong, for a fifth victory in the horse's career.

Trainer William Knight, also based at Angmering Park, saddled up King of Dixie at York on Friday to win the Class 3 seven furlong race. The four-year-old chestnut colt looks certain to progress further and should win again.

Amanda Perrett of Pulborough scored her seventh win of the year with Chocolate Caramel, a previous winner this year, and winner of five races in his career. With few options open to him after his successes, the horse ran at York in the claiming race. He was claimed for 14,000 and now joins Richard Fahey.
