Kaguyahime looked a promising prospect on debut at Ascot earlier this month when finishing a creditable third behind a far more experienced winner. 

The two-year-old daughter of Starspangledbanner was able to put her learning to use at Haydock this afternoon to open her account on only her second start.

Ridden much more prominently today by jockey Sean D Bowen, Kaguyahime tracked the leader the whole way round and managed to get a narrow lead at the two furlong marker. 

She faced challenges all the way to the line and showed a professional attitude to see them off, taking home a £25,000 Tattersalls Book 1 Bonus for her efforts. 

Congratulations to owner Mr H Yamamoto & groom Shankar Singh.
