Cheveley Park Stud's homebred Chancellor (GB) (Kingman {GB}), the second foal out of GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf heroine Queen's Trust (GB) (Dansili {GB}), was an absentee from last year's October Book 1 fixture, but made his presence felt in Thursday's Napoleons Casino & Restaurant EBF Maiden Stakes at Doncaster and collected a 'TDN Rising Star' rosette with a taking 4 3/4-length tally in the six-furlong contest.

The 16-5 favourite was slowly into stride and trailed all 10 rivals through the early fractions of this debut. Taking forward once angled to the stands' side passing halfway, he powered into contention approaching the final furlong and, despite emitting signals of inexperience, devoured the ground in the latter stages to easily outclass Aysgarth (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) by daylight. He becomes the 33rd Rising Star for his sire.

"He was a little bit slow away and I got myself caught behind a few of the ones that weren't travelling very well," explained winning rider Rab Havlin. "Once he eased to the outside, he was smooth up through the gears and he pricked his ears when he got to the front. His work has been good and he must've shown something at home to run him over six [furlongs] first time out. I think he could go to seven [furlongs], no problem, next time and he'll improve a lot."
