Prestige Stakes Guide 2021

A Dubawi 2 year old heads the early market for Simon and Ed Crisford in the shape of Daneh.

Only seen twice on course she made a striking impression when justifying favouritism to romp home to victory on her first outing.

Debuting on the all weather at Kempton, she looked highly professional and easily recorded a 7 furlong maiden win against her own sex.

Dropped into group company for her most recent run, she performed admirably over in Deauville to finish 3rd in Group 3 company behind Oscula and Zellie.

She looked to be slightly outpaced by better horses in a deep looking juvenile contest, she drops in grade slightly here and brings the best form to the table.

Maybe not the most solid favourite, she will have learnt from her trip to France and will likely put in a bold showing.

A debut winner for David Loughnane, Hello You looked to be one to follow when strolling to victory at Wolverhampton back in May by an eye-watering 6.5 lengths.

Clearly destined for big things, she bumped into the impressive Sandrine in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot and had to settle for 2nd place.

She’s struggled to run to that level since. Beaten by Sandrine again when contesting the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes, she was last seen coming a disappointing 6th of 10 in the Lowther Stakes only a few days ago.

She did become a little short of room in running and stayed on well, but she’s struggled to build on the promise she showed back in June.

Moving up to 7 furlongs looks highly likely to suit and she’s versatile for going conditions.

Improvement is likely and she could play a major part.

The David Simcock trained two year old made a superb debut in a Fillies' Novice and is now upped to a Group Three in just her second outing.

The A$590,000 purchase made a bright debut behind the smart Dubai Jewel, finishing her race off well to grab a narrow second.

She will be sure to come on for that and the step up in trip should suit, with her doing her best work near the finish.

Exciting prospect for the yard.

Mentioned beating Tinderbox at Newmarket back in mid July, Value Theory took an outing to get used to racing having shown promise on her first run to come 3rd on debut at Kempton.

Despite being sent off favourite, she succumbed to experienced rivals but put that behind her when returning to horse racing headquarters with a novice win.

Certainly not disgraced when last seen coming 3rd in group company, she looked to handle the step into deeper waters to only find two too good.

Group experience in the books and she’s already beaten Tinderbox, certainly a good each way option.

A Farhh filly, this time representing the all blue of Godolphin and trained by John and Thady Gosden.

Quite well fancied on her first outing back in July, Tinderbox was beaten by the market favourite Value Theory who has since run well in Group 3 company to finish 3rd.

Getting some experience under her belt clearly did her the world of good as she easily won when last seen at Kempton earlier this month.

She easily brushed aside a large field in novice company to an impressive 2.5 length victory and will have learnt plenty for the experience of winning her first race.

Maybe a touch short in the betting compared to Value Theory, she will come on plenty for winning at Kempton.

Another filly who has only been seen once, Mise En Scene is a daughter of Siyouni who certainly made an incredible impression when running out a striking winner at Haydock.

Debuting over 7 furlongs early last month, she earmarked herself as one to follow by running out an easy 4 length winner.

The form doesn’t look outstanding but she certainly did it with an air of ease and could have any amount of improvement in her off the back of experience.

Hard to trust but well bred and capable of taking a giant stride forward.

A juvenile for prolific trainer of youngsters Andrew Balding, Wilderness Girl was last seen when winning a class 2 maiden race at Glorious Goodwood last month.

A big field was brushed aside with ease by this favourite as she built upon her experience from her first outing. She shaped well on debut to come 4th at Newmarket in mid July.

The form didn’t look outstanding but she was very well backed at Goodwood and obliged backers to record an easy maiden win.

She looked promising here last month and will take another step forward. Her form doesn’t look hugely solid however but her trainer is a master with younger horses.

One of the more experienced fillies in the race, Prosperous Voyage showed plenty of encouragement on her debut to be 4th at Doncaster over 6.5 furlongs and stepped forward to shed her maiden tag at Epsom over 7 furlongs last month in maiden company.

Unable to defy the penalty for her success, she only found one too good when giving away weight to winner Nuance.

The form hasn’t taken any boosting since but the front two home certainly looked the ones to take from the race.

Despite being unable to back up under a penalty, she has earned a respectable mark of 86. Maybe lacking the same scope for improvement as some of her rivals however.

Karl Burke saddles a daughter of Adaay, Honey Sweet. A debut winner over the minimum trip at Nottingham, she cut through rain softened ground and showed plenty of speed and professionalism to get off the mark at the first time of asking.

After showing so much promise on debut she moved up in trip and class but was left wanting for quality over 6 furlongs at Newmarket in listed company when coming home 7th of 15.

Sent off a huge price for the Duchess Of Cambridgeshire she was well beaten behind Hello You and Sandrine.

Moved up to 7 furlongs when last seen she was beaten in listed company again when finishing 4th of only 6 runners.

She looks to be lacking a potent turn of foot to get herself in the mix in deeper waters and will likely be yearning for tactical speed again.

Another for Andrew Balding’s impressive team of juvenile runners, Star From Afarhh got off the mark at the first time of asking when winning in a novice event for fillies last month.

Despite conceding experience to her nearest rival she ran incredibly well to shed her maiden on debut.

Connections were clearly impressed with what she achieved and she moved up in grade when last seen only last week when coming last at Sandown in a group 3 event.

She tried to make all against more experienced rivals and quickly saw her chances fade when Oisin Murphy got to work early in the saddle.

Seemingly well caught out for quality at this level only last week, it would be a surprise if she had the necessary improvement to get competitive here.

Only raced over the minimum trip so far in her career, Amanda Hug’N’Kiss defied market weakness to be an eye-catching 2nd on her racing debut.

She confirmed the promise shown when winning at Sandown with seemingly bundles in hand against maiden company.

She was swiftly moved up in grade when last seen but only managed to be a meagre 12th of 17 runners in a listed event at Newbury.

Moving up in trip will certainly suit but she’s got plenty to prove going up in grade again and is one that is just best watched tackling 2 furlongs of unexplored territory.
