Lambourn produced a strong finish to win the Chester Vase Stakes in a leading trial for next month’s Derby at Epsom.
The 11-8 favourite, under jockey Ryan Moore, was trailing in third going into the final straight but kicked on and won by a length and a half.
Lazy Griff finished second as Convergent claimed third.
“He looked a thorough stayer and while he was a little on and off the bridle, once the penny dropped, he came home really strongly”, said trainer Aidan O’Brien, who won the Chester Vase Stakes for a record-extending 11th time.
He added: “He got the trip really well and he’s gone through the line nicely.
” At this stage, you’d have to say he’s on the Epsom team but this is a busy week for the trials. We’ve got Lingfield, there’s Leopardstown and then there’s York too.
