Richard Spencer's men won the International Ascot Handicap at 25-1 on Saturday and were swiftly fined £6 for the £250,000 stakes on the final day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival.

Two Tribes claimed his second major trophy in a week when he won the Coral Stewards' Cup at Goodwood.
Ridden again by David Egan, 11-2 Two Tribes led the field close to the stands from the start and pulled clear of last year's champion Get It heading into the final two furlongs.
His stablemate Run Boy Run looked the most serious threat on the far side of the track heading into the final leg, but Two Tribes kept going and was in front when he crossed the line with just two lengths to spare.
He was followed by Strike Red and Jakajaro in second and third respectively, Run Boy Run in fourth and another Spencer runner, Twilight Calls, in fifth.

“I thought all three had a really good chance of winning but Two Tribes is in great form and when a sprinter is in that form he is difficult to beat,” the trainer told Racing TV.
“Two races in seven days is tough for any horse, and at this level it's even tougher. These aren't small fields, these are 28-runner races and the pace is very fast.”
“It's just incredible how far he's come today. I never expected him to do that in a million years, but it's awesome.
“We don't have any specific plans for the immediate future, we just need to see what the handicapper does. I think he'll probably give him a good thrashing today. Let's let things cool down and see what happens.”
Phil Cunningham, owner of all three Spencer-trained runners, said: “It all happened quite quickly. It's a dream to have three horses in a race like this, but it's quite difficult trying to keep up with them when the course is short and there are a lot of runners.”
“It's a fantastic day. To be honest, after his win last Saturday we weren't planning on running him today. Richard said we'd run him for seven furlongs but we changed our plans on Wednesday and of course I'm glad we did.
“It was a team decision, but when you have a horse that is qualified to run in a race like this, at a festival, and with money to spare, I think you have to take the risk.”
“Every big win is probably the best one. We've been very lucky with great winners in the past, but you're always chasing the next one. The winners of Saturday and the festival are what we do it for.”
Richard did a fantastic job, I think he was brave to try and ride three on his own, but we got it done and there's lots more to come with our group of horses who are getting better and better.
Al Aasi defends Glorious Stakes title in style
Al Aasi went from last to first to successfully defend his Coral Glorious Stakes title at Goodwood.
The eight-year-old, trained by William Haggas, claimed the fifth of his seven Group III wins to date in this race 12 months ago and then won the Geoffrey Freer at Newbury in August and the Gordon Richards Stakes at Sandown on his first start of the season in April.
Despite being beaten in his last two races (most recently finishing seventh in the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot), Al Aasy was the 13-8 favourite for his return to Sussex Downs and, after spending most of the way at the back of the main five-strong field, he quickly picked up speed when Jim Crowley asked him to do his thing to catch his rivals and lead Meydan by three lengths at the line.
