This is the third of the Classic Races to take place during the horse racing season and the middle leg of the Fillies' Triple Crown.

All of the horses in the race will carry nine stone.

Frankie Dettori


The purse for this race is substantial, as £548,550 was paid out for the 2022 race, with a little over £300,000 going to the eventual winner.

This is a very large race with dozens of horses, which makes it particularly hard to handicap.
