Adam Farragher back among the winners after five months out with foot injury

Friday: Newmarket

Apprentice Adam Farragher returned from a five-month absence in triumph on his first day back when winning on Thunder Legend.

The 22-year-old was due to ride the favourite Mujtaba in the Lincoln for his boss William Haggas at Doncaster in March before a fall two days earlier on the gallops put him in hospital.

The 5lb claimer, who fractured the navicular bone in his foot and spent 13 weeks in a cast, is now hoping to get a clear run for his in-form stable.

He said: "That was a relief more than anything and it was good of the boss to put me up on two favourites on my first day back.

"I wasn't the best patient but I put it into perspective when looking at what poor Josh Moore has gone through."

Thunder Legend, trained by Haggas, won the 6f handicap five and a half lengths.

Farragher's other ride, Makinitup, finished eighth in the 7f fillies' handicap.

Valmont double

Lose Yourself comes in after winning the first under Rossa Ryan

The new Valmont partnership has swelled the ranks of the Ralph Beckett juveniles this year and kicked off an across-the-card double when Lose Yourself landed the opening 7f fillies' novice stakes.

The 260,000gns purchase is one of 15 at his Andover yard for the new venture, who are fronted by bloodstock agent Alex Elliott.

Beckett has done well with the progeny of Lope De Vega and Lose Yourself could attempt to follow Powerful Breeze, who won the race in 2019 before following up in the Group 2 May Hill Stakes at Doncaster.

Available at 10-1 in the morning, Lose Yourself was sent off 11-2 before winning under Rossa Ryan.

The same owner-trainer combination landed a 7½f novice stakes at Ffos Las with Captain Wierzba.

Elliott said: "To have two winners within an hour for the partnership is incredible, especially as they are both three-year-olds types."

Scholes off target

Paul Scholes at the July Course on Friday afternoon

Former England and Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes paid his fist visit to Newmarket to see his syndicate horse Box To Box line up in the 1m4f handicap.

After putting himself about in the early stages, however, the well-backed 5-2 joint favourite finished fourth of five runners behind Cemhaan.

Scholes is part of the north-west based The Running Order Syndicate, who have the horse close to home with Hugo Palmer.

He said: "Box to Box is the only horse I'm involved in at the moment together with Michael Owen, Owen Hargreaves and Steve McManaman. We had him with Tom Dascombe before Hugo moved into Manor House Stables, which is a fantastic facility.

"We've called in on our way to Southampton where he's a pundit for BT Sport tomorrow, so it's on the way. He's run an okay race, but he's won two races for us, so doesn't owe us anything."

Classic contender

Classic finally began to live up to something like his name when winning at the third time of asking in the 7f novice to set up a tilt at the Group 2 Champagne Stakes at Doncaster on September 10.

The son of Dubawi is a notable juvenile as he is out of Date With Destiny, the only offspring of 2,000 Guineas winner George Washington, and was cut to 33-1 (from 50s) by Paddy Power to emulate his grandfather on the Rowley Mile next year.
