Princess Elizabeth Stakes (Sponsored By Oddschecker) (Group 3) (Fillies & Mares)

Won on soft ground on debut, with all six starts since on good; won 1m Listed race at Chantilly last June and went close in one at Goodwood (stumbled badly leaving the stalls) on latest outing; coming up short in Group 3 events in her three runs in between helps to show she has work to do.

Stacks went wrong for her in this race last year (good to soft; acts on heavy) but she renewed her effort in fine style to go down by a neck in that bunched finish; however, all four starts since have been a major struggle and she was given wind surgery after final run last term; tongue tied this season and also sports cheekpieces in this revival bid.

Easily best form when third of nine in Group 3 at Sandown (1m, good) last August; not disgraced on final start (1m2f, good to soft; unraced on soft) in that mixed campaign; needs to return with a career best.

A pretty useful handicapper who's seen mostly over about 7f and has been much better over that trip than 1m; effective in the mud but this race would still look a stiff task even if it rains all day.

Listed winner on soft last May and she also won a five-runner Group 3 at the Curragh (1m1f, good; last to first) last July; shaped okay when third to runaway winner in York Group 2 (1m2f, good to firm) on last month's reappearance; it's hard to say whether she or Chic Colombine suffered the worst nightmare run in this race last year but both ran on well to be placed and she's firmly in the mix again if getting sufficient breaks.
