Chevalier looking to Ascot (From The Northern Echo)

Chevalier looking to Ascot (From The Northern Echo):

"MONSIEUR Chevalier can book his ticket for Royal Ascot on what could be another good night for trainer Richard Hannon in the Weatherbys Bank Conditions Stakes at Windsor.
The Wiltshire handler is renowned for his legions of classy juveniles and this colt appears to be another out of the top drawer judged on his two wins to date. An easy fivelength scorer on his racecourse bow at Folkestone, Monsieur Chevalier took another step up the ladder with a further bloodless success at Newmarket last time.
Making a leap to conditions company, he hit the front over a furlong out and Richard Hughes did not have to get too serious to come home three and a half lengths clear.
Hannon rates him as possible Ascot material and although he has to concede weight, Monsieur Chevalier can bag this prize on the way to next month’s meeting."
