Race 1 — Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap (3yo) 5f, 21 ran: Art Power earned himself a shot at a Group 1 contest after comfortably winning Day 4’s opening Palace of Holyroodhouse by three-and-a-quarter lengths from Keep Busy, the mount of Cieren Fallon. Despite being a 21-runner handicap for three-year-olds, the contest turned into a procession as the red-hot 6/4 favourite came home a hugely impressive winner. The Group 1 Nunthorpe Stales at York on August 24 is the target for the horse that was providing trainer Tim Easterby a sixth Royal Ascot win and a seventh for jockey Silvestre de Sousa.
