Moore also has two wins courtesy of day one success in the Betfair Gordon Stakes and the Detica Summer Stakes and on Tuesday. He drew a blank on Wednesday.

On day two the 2008 top jockey, Johnny Murtagh, chalked up his first win with his first ride of this year's festival.

The well-backed Rip Van Winkle, Murtagh's sole ride on Wednesday, romped to an easy victory in the Group 1 Sussex Stakes.
