Roger Varian's Charyn starts Royal Ascot 2024 with a bang with victory in Group One opener
Roger Varian's four-year-old had run some fine races without winning over the past 12 months or so and he finally landed a big pot as he broke clear to score by two-and-a-quarter lengths under Silvestre De Sousa. Charyn has been placed at the top level including when third twice to Paddington in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot and and in the same position in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood last season.
"You have to say he's improved as he's got older. He ran some fine races in defeat last year, he was in the biggest races, on the top table and he didn't disgrace himself. He seems to have found another level of form this year. His run in the Lockinge last time was an outstanding run, and he's confirmed that today, so I'm thrilled.
"At Doncaster and Sandown he maybe had to run to the level he showed last year to win them, but I think even with defeat in the Lockinge, his run told us he was a Group One horse and today confirmed it. It's a good start to the week and he deserved that, he's been great all year. He's a fine horse, very consistent and seems to be thriving.
