Group Three Princess Royal Dubai Stakes

Peripatetic will be the ride of James Doyle in the Group 3 at Newmarket on Friday. The four-year-old for Roger Varian drops back down in trip this week after finishing fifth of eight in the G2 Lillie Langtry Stakes at Goodwood in early August.

She was a winner over a mile and four on good to firm ground in early June at Goodwood, but she is without a win in four starts at Newmarket.

Voodoo Queen is the runner for Roger Varian in the Group 3 this week. She comes into this race in solid form after scoring a career-best RPR at Pontefract in June when winning the Pontefract Castle Fillies’ Stakes.

However, she has something to find at Newmarket over this distance after finishing seventh of eight in this race 12 months ago.

Ryan Moore takes the ride on Time Lock for Harry & Roger Charlton at Newmarket on Friday. The four-year-old was in excellent form over a mile and four in France on her latest start, beating Aude by two lengths.

She does have intriguing course and distance form, having landed the Next Level Law Fillies’ Novice Stakes at Newmarket last May.

Oisin Murphy takes the ride on John & Thady Gosden-trained Running Lion this week. The three-year-old returned from a 59-day break to finish second to State Occasion in the Upavon Fillies’ Stakes at Salisbury last month.

However, she was a stunning winner over a mile and two at Newmarket in May, beating the impressive Sumo Sam by over four lengths. Leading chance.

Clifford Lee takes the ride on Novakai for Karl Burke at Newmarket on Friday. She was last seen finishing a distant seventh of ten behind Warm Heart in the G1 Yorkshire Oaks.

However, she was excellent over course and distance in July, beating Cloudbreaker by nearly five lengths in the Aphrodite Fillies’ Stakes. Likely to be bang there.

Elegancia is a runner for Harry & Roger Charlton this week, and Kevin Stott will take the ride. She comes into this race in excellent recent form after winning on each of her previous two starts over a mile and two.

The latest of those saw her get the better of Jeff Koons by a neck. However, she is back up in grade on Friday, and that could leave her vulnerable.

Nathan Crosse takes the ride on Scarlett O’Hara for trainer John Harrington this week. The three-year-old was excellent over a mile and four at the Curragh in June, beating Binid Sue by a length.

She has been unable to back up that win in two starts since, but she drops back down to a mile and four this week.

Dermot Weld’s runner in the race this week is Azazat. Chris Hayes will take the ride on the three-year-old, who was last seen finishing second behind Unless in the Michael John Kennedy Memorial Irish EBF Stakes over a mile and two.

However, she has interesting form over a mile and four this term, having beat Queenstown by over four lengths at Leopardstown in early May.

Frankie Dettori takes the ride on Sweet Memories on Friday for trainer John & Thady Gosden. The three-year-old has won on both starts this season, including most recent at Newmarket over a mile and four on soft conditions.

She travelled excellently on that day, before finishing nearly two lengths clear of Sunset Point. A likely win contender once again over course and distance.

Charlie Appleby’s runner in the race this week is Veil Of Shadows. William Buick will take the ride on the three-year-old, who is winless in three starts on turf.

She was last seen finishing second behind Sapphire Seas at Haydock in a handicap. She’s up in trip this week, and deserves respect for connections in red-hot form.

Sea Theme is a runner for William Haggas this week. The lightly-raced three-year-old will be the ride of Tom Marquand. She has made just three career starts, but comes into this race on Friday in excellent form after winning two on the bounce over a mile and four.

The latest of those saw her beat One Evening by a head in the Galtres Stakes at York. She looks more than ready for this test.
