Moore excels with 'peach of a ride' as Mix And Mingle downs Qemah
Chris Wall had plenty of 'previous' in the Chartwell Fillies' Stakes and, with the trainer having gone to the trouble of booking Ryan Moore for his former Classic hope Mix And Mingle, the filly's defeat of dual Group 1 winner Qemah in the Betfred-sponsored Group 3 should not have been a surprise.

Wall, who won the Chartwell with Wake Up Maggie and Pyrrha, said: "We discussed possibly staying on the stands rail, because historically when there's a bit of juice in the ground it's the best place to be. It was a peach of a ride and she showed a really good turn of foot."
