Kensington Palace Stakes (Fillies' And Mares' Handicap) (Str)
A fiendishly difficult renewal, but punters might want to stick with the top-weight STATEIRA. The daughter of Persian King rose through the handicap ranks with a trio of Newcastle victories and proved she was just as effective on turf when a real eyecatcher in a Group 2 at the Curragh latest. She is evidently a Pattern-class filly and, for the yard that won this 12 months ago, looks to have a huge chance. Radiant Beauty forced Song N Dance and Alobayyah to settle for minor honours over C&D, but the latter didn't get the best of runs and was making her seasonal reappearance. Now 5lb better off with the winner, she can reverse the form. All Moonshine, a stable companion of the selection, bids for a four-timer and gets in off a handy racing weight. Don't underestimate Perfect Part at a big price, while Miss Nightfall is another to consider.
