2024 Marygate Fillies Stakes Tips

There’s going to be a stampede at the Knavesmire when the runners and riders line up in the Marygate Fillies’ Stakes. Enchanting Empress heads the betting market and there was successive wins from the two-year-old where a victory was accomplished at Wolverhampton and Ascot, with the latter being a smart performance.

Running Queen could also go well for trainer Ollie Sangster, with the latest victory coming at Salisbury in early May where six other runners were beaten. Over five furlongs on soft ground, there was a victory by a length and a quarter and that came after finishing fourth out of eight runners at Newbury back in April.

Amestris has Ryan Moore on board and was second in a previous showing, with the Michael Bell-trained runner having performed well last time out at Newmarket. Sent off at 12/1, the horse had an early bump in the race before falling just short against It Ain’t Two and the latter will also line up in this encounter.

It Ain’t Two could be a viable contender in this encounter, with Seraphim Angel having landed a victory at Chester in a conditions stakes race. The horse previously finished fourth in a thirteen-runner race at Newmarket which was won by It Ain’t Two. Ruby’s Profit has the potential to go well and there was a win for this filly last time out.

2023 Marygate Fillies Stakes Tips

This is a two-year-old race which always carries with it a level of unpredictability considering that the runners and riders are lightly raced. Persian Dreamer is trading as favourite and much depends on whether the Dominic Ffrench Davis-trained charge can repeat the level of performance that saw her win the recent British EBF Maiden Fillies’ Stakes at Newmarket.

On that occasion on 19 April, the 11/4 shot was able to claim a victory of over three lengths against Dorothy Lawrence who will once again be lining up here. She was able to win on good to soft ground, with jockey Kevin Stott once again on board although there are plenty of lively contenders who can’t be discounted.

Got To Love A Grey and Dorothy Lawrence both come from the yard of KR Burke and it’s interesting that jockey Ryan Moore has chosen to ride the latter. That second placed effort behind Persian Dreamer means that she might again be in the mix, while the former is trading at a shorter price and recently claimed a victory on soft ground at Nottingham.

Beenham and Gaiden can’t also be discounted and currently trade at a similar price, with the former having won at Goodwood in early May. Rod Millman will hope that his filly can be even more progressive at the Knavesmire, while Gaiden was sent off as the 3/1 favourite in a recent outing at Windsor before being beaten into second place.
