Side Glance gave Andrew Balding and Jimmy Fortune a timely boost in the Investec Diomed Stakes at Epsom.
The trainer and jockey wouldn't be human if they didn't have a fraction of their minds occupied by thoughts of Bonfire and Saturday's Investec Derby but they combined to good effect in the Group Three over an extended mile.
Side Glance has improved steadily over the past two seasons and was scoring for the second time at this level having got the better of Dance And Dance at Salisbury last year.
There was just a neck between the pair on that occasion but the five year old gelding stretched his advantage to three parts of a length over Ed Vaughan's charge with veteran performer Mac Love flying home for third.
