Unibet Princess Royal Stakes (Fillies' And Mares' Group 3)

Off time: 14:29 | Winning time: 2m 27.91s

(1)

By Starlight²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: H Candy| OR: 88| D

11/1

Fairly useful filly who doubled her tally at Goodwood last time but seems to be out of her depth at this level.

Form: 7-01221

(2)

Domino Darling²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 103| BF

7/1

Lightly raced for her age and has upped her form again this term, good nose second in listed race at York on penultimate outing. Shaped as if still in form since, so can't be discounted.

Form: 83-6324

(7)

Forbearance¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 104| D

4/1

Latest win at York in August. Good neck third of 9 to Camorra in Paddy Power Stakes at Leopardstown since, and she's still getting better, so looks an obvious player.

Form: 431313

Golden Pass¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: H Palmer| OR: 102| D

5/1

Boasts a good strike rate and has already scored at listed level this term. Good second in the Park Hill last time, so every reason to expect another bold showing from this likeable filly.

Form: 4-12182

(8)

Mystery Angel³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: B A Curtis| T: G Boughey| OR: 100| C

8/1

Bagged listed Pretty Polly here in May and has generally held it together since, albeit put in her place in a French Group 2 last time. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 142436

(3)

Pennymoor³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: James Doyle| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 92| D

28/1

Frankel filly who was progressive prior to a blip in listed company at York 36 days ago. No reason to think she'll feature in this even higher grade.

Form: 8210

(9)

Sayyida⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 102| CD

3/1

Dubawi filly with a progressive profile. Latest fourth in a French Group 3 is proving to be strong form, and she's tasted success over C&D already this year, so warrants consideration.

Form: 52-1124

(10)

Sea La Rosa¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 93| D

11/2

Progressive filly who eked out a bit more to gain her third win of the campaign with something to spare in a Doncaster handicap a fortnight ago. This requires a more marked step forward.

Form: 3-12121

Forecasts

Albaflora (5/2), Sayyida (3/1), Forbearance (4/1), Golden Pass (5/1), Sea La Rosa (11/2), Domino Darling (7/1), Mystery Angel (8/1), Lady Hayes (10/1), By Starlight (11/1), Glenartney (14/1), Pennymoor (28/1)

ALBAFLORA is the best filly in this field and should be able to prove as much with a performance of similar merit to the one that saw her finished second to Snowfall in the Yorkshire Oaks last time. The others are dependent on a flop from the selection, but Forbearance and Golden Pass are both reliable types who deserve respect.
