2024 Princess Elizabeth Stakes Betting Odds at Epsom Downs racecourse

Saturday, 01 June 2024

There are a spate of four-year-olds who form an orderly queue at the head of the betting for the Princess Elizabeth Stakes, with Running Lion the warm favourite who might take all the beating. The John & Thady Gosden-trained runner ran well last time out when finishing second, with Breege and Sparks Fly also among the market leaders.

The former could go well for John & Sean Quinn, with the latter finishing fifth in his first outing of the season, although the David Loughnane-trained runner could be a decent each-way contender. Sea Of Thieves and Stenton Glider are other contenders that could merit an outside bet, with the betting market set to be competitive.

There’s a clear favourite when it comes to the Princess Elizabeth Stakes, with Running Lion the joint-highest rated runner in the field and her first outing of the season was an impressive one. At the beginning of May, there was a second placed finish out of six horses, with the 6/4 favourite beaten by Stay Alert in the William Hill .Dahlia Stakes..

Last season, there was an eighth-placed finish in the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes when being sent off at odds of 16/1. This came after finishing third in the Princess Royal Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai Stakes although Breege could be a better priced alternative and the John & Sean Quinn-trained charge was third last time out.

That performance came at Goodwood in early May after a solid performance at Ascot in October when losing out by a head over seven furlongs. Sparks Fly is trading at a similar price and the four-year-old was fifth in a first outing of the campaign. This came at Haydock towards the end of April and there were two victories posted last season.

Sea Of Thieves has the potential to go well for Mario Barrati, with a success being scored at Longchamp last time out. The victory came in the Prix Maurice Zilber over seven furlongs on very soft ground, so some rain would be appreciated by a horse that ran twice at Ascot last year, with Newbury and Haydock performances also catching the eye.

Prosperous Voyage finished midfield in a recent encounter although this was a competitive encounter. In the Howden Dahlia Stakes, she was able to secure fifth place out of nine runners although this was a Group 2 race and there was also a credible fourth in the Sun Chariot Stakes which was a Group 1 encounter.

Indeed, the horse has been lining up in esteemed company for most of her career, with Rob Hornby riding the charge to an impressive 16/1 victory in the Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket on the July course back in early July. The horse was also sent off at enormous odds of 33/1 in last year’s 1000 Guineas before finishing second.

Potapova was pulled up in her previous encounter and was later found to have had an irregular heartbeat, although the horse was previously competitive in the Dubai Joel Stakes over one mile and there was also a win in the Atalanta Stakes over one mile. This was a Group 3 encounter at Sandown Park.

Roman Mist was a winner last time out, with the five-year-old landing the William Hill Conqueror Fillies’ Stakes on 6 May at Goodwood. This was over one mile on heavy ground and perhaps the horse will come on for this performance, with this runner looking like the each-way value and Astral Beau can also not be disregarded easily.
