Ryan Moore claimed his seventh winner of the week aboard Curvy in the Ribblesdale Stakes for Co Tipperary trainer David Wachman at Royal Ascot .

The filly was sent off at 9-2 for the mile-and-a-half Group Two having won each of her three previous starts this season, with Jim Bolger’s Irish 1,000 Guineas Pleascach a warm order as the even-money favourite.

Entertainment set the pace for a long way, but Pleascach took over in the straight under Kevin Manning and looked set to deliver.

To her outside there was some scrimmaging for position, with Curvy barging her way through the smallest of gaps, causing Pamona and Wedding Vow to edge left.

Once in the clear, however, she picked up well and found plenty in the final furlong to beat Pleascach by a length.

Pamona was some four lengths away in third.

Moore said: “It was a very steadily-run race and I thought she was going to win nicely, but a furlong out Kevin (Manning) got a bump and she just fell into me and I had to regather her then. It was harder than it should have been in the end.

“She got the mile and a half well and we’ll have to see what the race produces.

“She doesn’t do a lot when she gets to the front and hopefully there’ll be a bit more in the tank.

“I had some very good rides and could have had a few more (winners).”

Moore earlier struck on Aidan O'Brien's Waterloo Bridge to cause a minor upset in the Norfolk Stakes.

The betting was all about Richard Hannon runners, with the champion trainer responsible for 11-8 favourite King Of Rooks and his main market rival Log Out Island (13-8).

The market principals were both smartly away in the five-furlong Group Two and threatened to control it from the front, but the more patiently-ridden Waterloo Bridge, a 12-1 shot, swooped by in the final furlong and was well on top at the finish.

Log Out Island was half a length away in second, with the same distance back to his stable companion in third.

Moore said: “The strong pace suited us, but to be fair to this horse, he’d probably never run on quick ground and it’s brought about improvement. He’s been running on soft ground and not enjoying it.

“This horse looked magnificent, every one of Aidan’s this week has run great and you can never discount them.

“He’s a good horse and gave me a great feel the whole way. He had a little look when he got to the front, but he’s been produced in terrific shape. He travelled like the best horse in the race and when I asked him to win it he went.

“The ground is still fast.”

O’Brien said: “He was always a very fast horse at home and always travelled very strong in his work.

“He used to get there (the front) and swerve a little bit. The last day in Tipperary he came through and won very easily and I had a hood on him and Joseph (O’Brien) said he was ready to have the hood off.

“He wanted a fast pace and like all those Zoffanys he has a lot of natural speed and he travelled very strong.

“Ryan gave him a great ride. He came with a lovely clear run and got there late on him, we’re delighted.

“He’s a fast horse and fast horses usually want fast ground.

“We could go to Goodwood or somewhere like that.”

Hannon felt his placed pair may have gone a little too hard in front.

He said: “They both ran good races. Log Out Island will get six furlongs.

“They might have gone a bit quick and set it up for the winner.”

Harry Herbert, racing manager to Al Shaqab Racing, who owned the beaten favourite King Of Rooks, said: “Sadly they cut each other’s throats.

“Frankie (Dettori), wonderfully honest, said ‘sorry’. They took each other on and went too quick.

“There are no immediate plans. We’ll find the right spot for him. It didn’t quite go right there, but we’ll be back.”

Trip To Paris and Galway jockey Graham Lee took the glory in the Gold Cup.

The 12-1 winner was supplemented for the staying showpiece following his victory in last month’s Chester Cup and was held up for a late run by the Grand National-winning jockey.

Dermot Weld’s previously unbeaten favourite Forgotten Rules quickened to hit the front passing the two-furlong marker, but the Ed Dunlop-trained Trip To Paris finished powerfully against the far rail and got up to score by a length and a quarter.

Aidan O’Brien’s Kingfisher, under Moore, failed to get a run when he needed one in the straight and could be counted a little unlucky having come home strongly to grab second.

Forgotten Rules was far from disgraced in third, ahead of Willie Mullins’s Simenon in fourth.

Lee said: “He gave me a great ride. I got on him in the parade ring and he was so switched off and relaxed and he raced that way.

“He was just conserving his energy and when I turned in there was a gap down the rails. He’s picked up good and he deserved it.

“I’ve had a good day in the office, so I’ll enjoy it.

“They’ve supplemented this guy for a lot of money, so fair do’s to the sporting connections for that gesture.”

Time Test proved a different class to his opponents in the Tercentenary Stakes.

So impressive in a lucrative Newbury handicap on his seasonal reappearance last month, Roger Charlton’s three-year-old was a heavily supported 15-8 favourite stepped up to Group Three level.

Frankie Dettori cut a confident figure throughout in the saddle, positioning the market leader in midfield with plenty of room to manoeuvre.

Time Test began to close on the leaders soon after the home turn and it was clear he had far more to give than his opponents.

Once allowed to stride on, Charlton’s colt showed thrilling acceleration to seal the deal and came home with plenty in hand over Peacock, with Mustadeem third.

Dettori, who rode his 50th Royal Ascot winner in the final race on Wednesday, said: “I didn’t have to do much. He’s a very good horse, it was a perfect race.

“I had so much horse, I pulled him to the outside and he wanted to take off.

“It was great and I was able to enjoy this lovely crowd.

“He does (feel like a Group One horse). Everything went spot on.”
