What is the Chesham Stakes? 

The Chesham Stakes is a Listed event held on the fifth and final day of Royal Ascot and is run over seven furlongs for horses aged two years old.

Having been extended from six furlongs to seven furlongs in 1996, the Chesham Stakes has often been a race that throws up notable Classic pointers, and while it may lack the prestige of some of the other races taking place at Royal Ascot, it can throw up some really smart winners. Churchill (2016) and Pinatubo (2019) are two of the recent winners that have excelled in better company later in their careers having won here.

What happened in the 2020 Chesham Stakes? 

Aidan O'Brien's Battleground was a classy winner of the Chesham Stakes, as the Ballydoyle raider quickened impressively in the closing stages to claim the Listed contest on day three of Royal Ascot. Ryan Moore took a bit of time to get his mount up to top speed, but as soon as he found his way he scooted clear to land the prize in style with March Law and Seattle Rock chasing home the impressive winner.
