THUNDER BEAUTY (3.15, nap) has the class to score a Listed victory in the Weatherbys Bloodstock Pro Pipalong Stakes.
The filly finished an excellent second at 40-1 in the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot last month. Having been held up at the rear of the seven-runner mile contest by Daniel Tudhope, again in the saddle today, she ran on well to take the runner-up slot three and a half lengths behind Saffron Beach.
David O’Meara’s four-year-old has an easier task today, although Roman Mist will pose a threat, having won a Listed event at Kempton in April, before finishing third behind Bashrikova in the Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom.
