Scandinavia in a different league to Bahrain Trophy rivals
As the race progressed he loomed up beside the front runner to take the lead three furlongs from home and from there on it was plain sailing as he prevailed by an easy eight and a half lengths.
Paddy Power were very impressed and cut the winner to 6-1 from 20s for the Betfred St Leger.
Paul Smith, son of co-owner Derrick Smith, said: 'He seems to have progressed nicely from Ascot and Ryan was very happy with him – he said he's uncomplicated, he got into a lovely rhythm and we could have some fun with him over those longer distances now.
'He was out wide for a long way at Ascot but he bounced out of the race very well and really enjoyed the ground today.
'The Irish Leger and the English Leger, all those sort of races are open to him and he could be a Cup horse next year, perhaps. We can plot our way towards all those nice staying races at the end of the year now.'
The current ante-post favourite for the St Leger is stablemate and dual Derby winner Lambourn and Smith added: 'There's lots of options open and I think we'll see how these horses get on over the festivals as after here we've got Goodwood and York coming up.
'He's in the mix for all those top races.'

Pinhole aiming to justify connections' faith in Geoffrey Freer
The Frankel colt looked an exciting prospect when winning at Southwell at the backend of his juvenile year, but any dreams of Epsom were put to bed after he finished a well-held fourth behind the subsequent dual Derby winner Lambourn on his return in the Chester Vase. He disappointed as a joint-favourite for the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot on his next start, but made the most of having his sights lowered when bolting up in first-time cheek pieces on his handicap debut three weeks ago, earning him a return to Group Three level at Newbury on Saturday. PINHOLE wins comfortably in the Royal Ascot Winning Breeders' Handicap Stakes with @Rossaryan15 in the saddle for @RalphBeckett and @JuddmonteFarms — Ascot Racecourse (@Ascot) July 25, 2025 Barry Mahon, racing manager for owner-breeders Juddmonte, said: 'He was obviously an easy winner the last day and the handicapper has forced our hand to head back into Group company, so we're looking forward to seeing what he can do. 'He's a horse we always felt was up to this sort of level, hopefully it's not coming too soon for him. 'He's a big horse and probably still a little on the weak side. We started out with Derby ambitions and the form of the Chester Vase has obviously worked out very well, but the Derby was coming too early in his life. Let's hope we can get back on track at Group-race level.' Pinhole's five rivals include the William Haggas-trained Candleford, who was last seen finishing third behind high-class stablemate Al Aasy in the Glorious Stakes at Goodwood and Ambiente Friendly, who was one place and just under two lengths adrift of Candleford two weeks ago. His trainer James Owen said: 'He worked nicely on Tuesday morning and he's taken a step forward from Goodwood, so I think gelding him is definitely helping. 'It's small steps but I feel I'm getting him back into form. I think if you watch his races, even at Goodwood, in the last 15 yards he's beginning to stay on again and I just think he needs to give himself chance to get these longer trips, then I do think he will stay well. 'He's getting better at home and he's improved the last twice on the track.

The Haggas-trained More Thunder is the potential star attraction in other Group race on the card – the Visit Malta Hungerford Stakes. The four-year-old has won three of his four starts since moving across Newmarket after Sir Michael Stoute's retirement and he is perhaps unlucky not to be unbeaten, having just failed to reel in Get It in the Wokingham Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Haggas told Sky Sports Racing 'It was a bit messy at Newmarket, but he's absolutely fine and it's time he had a step up in grade. 'He's a pretty smart horse, he's done really well. He's got about the lowest rating of any of the runners on Saturday and yet he's favourite, I don't quite understand that, but some people think that he has the potential to do a bit better, so we'll see if they're right.'

'He's already a Group Two winner now, so we just hope he turns up and puts in another brave run to do us all proud.'

CELTIC 4 FALKIRK 1: No more shocks to the system as Premier Sports Cup holders power through to last eight
To lose one cup tie may be regarded as misfortune. To lose two in succession would have looked like carelessness. Three months after a rare blemish appeared on their copybook under Brendan Rodgers in domestic knockout competitions when they lost to Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup Final, Celtic were never in danger of relinquishing their grip on the Premier Sports Cup. In complete control from the first whistle to the last against Falkirk, Rodgers' men made light work of advancing to the last eight. Daizen Maeda's first-half header, Alistair Johnston's second-half curler, Dane Murray's thumping effort and an own goal by Liam Henderson did the damage before Keenan Adams netted a spectacular consolation for the visitors. Last September in this competition, Falkirk had served notice that they were a team on the rise. Twice John McGlynn's men led that day before being buried with four late goals. The just didn't have enough about themselves here to cause the same degree of concern. In all facets of their game, aside from their finishing in the first period, Celtic were on point. The 40th cup tie of Rodgers' two spells in charge brought up a resounding 38th victory. The ongoing disquiet over a lack of new faces off the field didn't overshadow the performance on it. Falkirk were game, but just didn't have the ability to play through Celtic's press or to make the most of their rare opportunities. If Rodgers' men had had their shooting boots on in the first half, this could have been a rout. It said much about Celtic's lack of transfer activity so far this summer that Kieran Tierney was the only starting player who wasn't at the club on the day of the Scottish Cup Final. Only two of the nine-man bench, Benjamin Nygren and Shin Yamada, fell into that category. Given his need for a goal, Adam Idah's place on the bench was surprising, with Johnny Kenny tasked with finding the net. Some 15 months after he last kept goal here in a 3-2 win over St Mirren, Scott Bain was back in the colours of Falkirk. The keeper saw a familiar scene unfolding. Playing with tempo and purpose, Celtic dominated the ball. Maeda and James Forrest peppered the visiting box with crosses. Kenny was inches away from flashing home the opener on 10 minutes after Forrest put one on a plate for him. While Callum McGregor's curler was never worrying Bain, Henderson's wayward back pass almost crept in at the keeper's far post. With the Bairns unable to get up for air, Tierney's strike was beaten away by the keeper. The onslaught continued. Luke McCowan's clever pass set up Kenny. Bain was equal to the strike. Dylan Tait's body check on Tierney allowed Arne Engels to try his luck with a free-kick from the right. This time the far post came to Falkirk's rescue. Arriving on the 26-minute mark, Celtic's opener had long felt inevitable. Forrest's strike was blocked. McGregor floated the ball to the back post. Tierney had the presence of mind to nod it back across goal. Maeda threw himself at the ball to open his account for the campaign with a flying header. It was only after falling behind that Falkirk posed any threat. Calvin Miller, once of this parish, forced Viljami Sinisalo to stretch and turn a bouncing strike round for a corner. A poor cross field pass by Forrest gifted Ross MacIvor an opening. Again, Sinisalo was equal to the strike. Forrest seemed to be everywhere. He buried his head in his hands when he headed McCowan's cross over the top when it was easier to score. Miller was just as conspicuous for the visitors. A smart take and strike at the outset of the second half was straight at Celtic's Finnish keeper. Seeking to score in his 17th successive season, Forrest's fierce drive forced Bain to leap to his right and pull off a fine save. If there's such a thing as trying too hard then Miller was guilty of it. As Falkirk tried to build from a throw-in deep on their left side, he'd took too many touches and had his pocket picked by McCowan. The ball was shuttled to Johnston who took one steadying touch before bending the ball into the far corner. Job just about done. The cherry on the cake was provided just after the hour mark by Murray. Rising to meet Arne Engels' corner, the towering defender found the far corner of the net. Quite the way to celebrate signing a new long-term contract. Rodgers' threw on a string of subs. Hyun-jun Yang's impact was immediate. His burst down the left channel preceded a cross which Henderson turned into his own net. Although they lacked much from middle to front, you certainly couldn't fault the application of McGlynn's men. They got something for their commendable efforts with the game long gone, a quite brilliant strike by full-back Adams which arrowed into the top corner from 20 yards. Despite conceding for the first time in a competitive game this season, it was still a fine night's work for Celtic. Yamada looked a handful when he replaced Kenny through the middle. Blessed with physicality and pace, the forward certainly has many of the attributes which could allow him to become the latest Japanese player to make an impact at Celtic. In danger of becoming the forgotten man of Celtic's midfield, Paulo Bernardo also showed up well when he was sent on. Only a deflection prevented the Portuguese from opening his account for the season. Auston Trusty looked the better for getting 90 minutes under his belt, McCowan was excellent throughout with and without the ball while Tierney just cruised through the evening. Kairat Almaty may well pose a greater threat when they contest the first leg of the Champions League play-off next Wednesday. Despite a bewildering lack of investment in the side to this point, Celtic approach that challenge in good shape.
