French raider CROWN PRINCESSE (3.40) was a bit unfortunate not to land a Longchamp Group 1 last month and she looks over-priced in the Ribblesdale Stakes.
Fabrice Chappet’s filly had to weave her way through traffic before finishing third – beaten just three-quarters of a length – in the Prix Saint-Alary.
