Eight will go to post for the Group 3 Lester Piggott Fillies’ Stakes, where Jessica Harrington sends over Bay Of Sanibel to try to improve on his luck in Ireland.
Still, this mare will need to find something extra against some improving opposition.

Group 3 Lester Piggott Fillies’ Stakes Runner By Runner Betting Guide
5 Estrange (3)
Age: 4 Weight: 9st 2lb Form: 171- Rating: 100 Jockey: Daniel Tudhope Trainer: David O’Meara Odds: 9/4Estrange was unraced as a two-year-old for John Gosden, but she was quickly off the mark for David’ O’Meara when taking a Goodwood fillies maiden last season.
She was unlucky on her next start at Listed level, where she had no luck in running, but she righted the wrongs of that with a ready win at Doncaster.
She makes her return here after a 203-day break, but given the ease with which she won on her final three-year-old start, Estrange should have more improvement in her this season. It’s hard to see her not involved in the finish.
Star rating:
Bet on Estrange with Betfred
8 Shaha (6)
Age: 4 Weight: 9st 2lb Form: 214-1 Rating: 105 Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: John & Thady Gosden Odds: 5/2Shaha took a nice step forward on her return to the track when tackling this trip for the first time in the Daisy Warwick Stakes at Goodwood, at the beginning of the month.
She relished the step up in trip at Goodwood, staying on well at the finish, so the demands of Haydock can play to her strengths here. She has been given a rating of 105 on the back of that run, and even though she has it to find with some on figures, Shaha has every right to come on for her seasonal return and be the one that they all have to beat.
Star rating:
Bet on Shaha with SBK
2 Beautiful Love (2)
Age: 4 Weight: 9st 2lb Form: 34-632 Rating: 111 Jockey: William Buick Trainer: Charlie Appleby Odds: 4/1She may be rated the highest in the field, but Beautiful Love is one of the more exposed runners in the lineup. She has a Group 3 win to her name in the USA but hasn’t hit those heights over here.
On her last run, even though she was beaten 12 lengths into second by an impressive See The Fire, there was something there to suggest that she could eke out a bit more over this tip.
If she can kick on from that run, this trip could be the making of her. She’s exposed but has every chance here.

4 Chorus (1)
Age: 4 Weight: 9st 2lb Form: 1831-6 Rating: 93 Jockey: Cieren Fallon Trainer: William Haggas Odds: 12/1She has it to do to reverse the form with Chorus on her seasonal return, and even though she was beaten six lengths, she ran like a filly who would come on for the run.
She does have a fair bit to find with Shaha and a few others on figures, but there is room for improvement, and if she can build on that run, it would give her a place chance.
Star rating:
Bet on Chorus with bet365
3 Bay Of Sanibel (8)
Age: 5 Weight: 9st 2lb Form: 746-55 Rating: 96 Jockey: Shane Foley Trainer: Jessica Harrington Odds: 14/1Bay Of Sanibel is the only Irish representative here, but one who, despite lacking the form that would give her a winning chance, is still given respect coming from these quarters.
Her last run, when finding Kyprios too good for her, would give you a small bit of hope that she would be able to challenge for a place as long as at least one of the principles underperformed. Bay Of Sanibel is not one to hang your hat on, but this is a trip that she stays well.

1 Sioux Life (4)
Age: 4 Weight: 9st 7lb Form: 0111-7 Rating: 108 Jockey: Marco Ghiani Trainer: Marco Botti Odds: 14/1Sioux Life was a prolific winner in Italy, but on the evidence of her first run in the UK for Marco Botti, she looks up against it here, especially given that she has to concede up to 5lb to all her rivals here. She’s rated 108, but that rating even looks inflated. It’s best to avoid her today.
Star rating:
Bet on Sioux Life with Ladbrokes
7 Our Golden One (7)
Age: 4 Weight: 9st 2lb Form: 2835-7 Rating: 93 Jockey: Pat Dobbs Trainer: Tom Ward Odds: 25/1Our Golden One ran a bit free on her comeback when she was no match for Shaha this month (Chorus two lengths in front), and even if she does come on for that run, it’s unlikely that she can get much closer to the Shaha here. She’s a handicapper at best, and this level appears to be beyond her, based on all known evidence.
Star rating:
Bet on Our Golden One with Tote
6 Invisible Friend (5)
Age: 6 Weight: 9st 2lb Form: 10233- Rating: 91 Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: David O’Meara Odds: 33/1All of Invisible Friends wins have come in handicaps, and she has failed to crack even Listed level so far. So this change of stable, along with the step up to a new trip will need to bring out a clear career best if she is to be seriously involved today. From what we know, she is unlikely to finish even in the places.
Star rating:
Bet on Invisible Friend with Betfred
Group 3 Lester Piggott Stakes verdict
Even though she is one of the more exposed ones, Beautiful Love could take another step forward now that she tries this trip once again.
But even if she does find more improvement here, Estrange and SHAHA have more room for improvement, with a slight preference for the former. Shaha was a good winner on her comeback over this trip, and now, with race fitness on her side, there is every chance that she can put up another career best here.
