Hello Youmzain survived a late challenge from last year's runner-up Dream Of Dreams to land the Diamond Jubilee Stakes and provide his jockey Kevin Stott with a breakthrough success at Royal Ascot.  The four-year-old was given the verdict following a photo-finish, with Sceptical running superbly to finish third under Frankie Dettori.  It was a second Group 1 for Hello Youmzain and a first for Stott, who wiped away joyful tears on his way back to the parade ring. "He's done it the hard way," said Adam Ryan, son of trainer Kevin. "He jumped well and his jockey let him find his stride. When it came to the end he battled hard and was very impressive." Hello Youmzain, who hit an in-running price of 34 on the Betfair Exchange, was slashed to 6-1 (from 12) for the July Cup.  It was a landmark day for Hello Youmzain's sire Kodiac, who was also responsible for 150-1 Coventry winner Nando Parrado and Queen Mary victor Campanelle.  ...Andrew Nelis Racing...
