The Ranvet Stakes is the first weight-for-age event of the autumn over 2000m and tends to attract good quality middle distance types who may be going on to a race like the Gr1 The BMW (2400m) in a fortnight at the same track.
In recent years this race has proven a great guide to The BMW, with Tuesday Joy (2008) & Eremein (2006) both scoring The BMW & Ranvet Stakes double, while Thesio (2009) went on to finish runner-up in The BMW at his next outing. Fiumicino (7th in 2009) managed to win The BMW after finishing unplaced in this event.
The Gr1 Chipping Norton Stakes can often throw up winners or placegetters in this race and Thesio (2010), Grand Armee (2005) and Tie The Knot (2000-01) have all won the Chipping Norton Stakes & Ranvet Stakes double in recent times, while a number of horses have ran placings in both races.
Some classy gallopers have won the Ranvet Stakes over the years, including the likes of Grand Armee (2005), Tie The Knot (2000-01), Veandercross (1993), Super Impose (1991) and the outstanding galloper Better Loosen Up in 1990.
Thesio (2010) won the Chipping Norton Stakes on his way to winning this event for the second year in a row and recent winners of the Ranvet Stakes prior to that have been Tuesday Joy (2008) and Desert War (2007).
