Epsom Icon kicked off the black type winners at Epsom in the Group 3 Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom before Czabo landed the Listed Prix des Lilas at Deauville and Divine followed that up with the Group 3 Ballyogan Stakes at the Curragh.

Channon also saddled Harlequeen who finished third in Friday’s Oaks.

Channon said: “We’re always trying to win black type with these fillies and in this case we had three very nice fillies for the races.

“It’s about trying to find the right races with these horses and when it came to Czabo the office staff found the race for her, and I said stick her in and we’ll see. Everybody played their part and sometimes it all comes together.

“We’ll have a few in the handicaps at Ascot that I’m looking forward to too, like Harrison and Elidor, and hopefully they’ll all put in good runs and we can grab a winner or two there.”
