# Nobelos Lands 33/1 Shock in Ascot Novice Result

According to the official result at Ascot on Friday, **Nobelos** delivered a 33/1 shock in the Ascot novice result at the 3:40 Juddmonte EBF Restricted Novice Stakes. The Irish-trained juvenile, ridden by Rob Hornby for trainer Charles Hills, denied **Brushstroke** by three-quarters of a length on Good ground.

Bumped at the break, Nobelos settled second early, moved alongside the pace-setter by halfway and pushed to the front inside the final furlong to score. The winning time of 1m 16.68s underlined the competitive nature of the Ascot novice result on a testing six-furlong card.

Ray Dawson’s **Brushstroke** kept Nobelos honest to the line in second, held mid-pack early before being roused approaching the final furlong. **War Chest**, partnered by Rhys Clutterbuck, finished third beaten only 0.1 lengths further back, while **Soldier Of The Sea** ran into fourth under Taylor Fisher, beaten a nose.

The Ascot novice result capped a profitable card for Jamie Osborne’s stable. **Malachy’s Wish** claimed the 4:15 Classified Stakes at 7/1 under Saffie Osborne, while **Hickory** landed the feature at 15/2. [The morning preview detailed the competitive Ascot Hospitality Handicap](https://readhorseracing.com/2026/09/04/ascot-hospitality-handicap-preview-friday/), where the winner emerged with a three-quarter-length margin from **Moonfall**.

Maiden winners **San Jose** (15/8 favourite) and **Clarity** (3/1) also prevailed on the card, with Clarity earning victory in the 3:05 by responding to pressure inside the final furlong under James Doyle.
