Preview: Chesham Stakes

The conditions of the Listed Chesham Stakes states that a runner must be sired by a stallion, or out of a dam who has won over nine and a half furlongs or further, giving it a unique edge over the other Royal Ascot juvenile contests. Despite the restrictions still favouring super-sires like Galileo, we have enjoyed some longer-priced winners of the race and future stars such as Pinatubo.
