Andrew Balding’s charge would be a popular winner

Balding sets sights on QEII

Beat The Bank continued his rapid rise through the ranks with a dominant display in the Shadwell Joel Stakes at Newmarket.

Previous winning form at Newmarket helped Andrew Balding decide on Friday's Shadwell Joel Stakes rather than a trip to France this weekend for Beat The Bank.

Beat The Bank, successful in four of his five career starts and an easy three-length scorer on both of his last two outings, will attempt to continue his climb up the ranks of Europe’s top milers when he runs in the Group 2 Shadwell Joel Stakes at Newmarket’s Rowley Mile Racecourse on Friday (29th September).
