Sovereign Parade scored in terrific style on debut and looks worth an each-way wager at 8/1 in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot today (3.40).

John Gosden’s filly was sent off odds-on for a 12-runner maiden at Salisbury last month and got the job done in the manner of a very smart prospect.

After being held-up in mid division, she made good headway three from home but then ran very green and had plenty to do approaching the final furlong.

Sovereign Parade then finally realised what was required quickened up smartly under a hands and heels ride from Rab Havlin to win going away at the line by a length.

It was a most taking display and the turn of foot shown by the three-year-old suggested she had a huge engine.

Although this Group 2 represents a big step up in class, Sovereign Parade is clearly held in very high regard and Gosden has a good record with his fillies.

She is also entitled to come on a bundle for that experience, and remains totally unexposed and open to any amount of improvement.

Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts each-way Sovereign Parade (8/1 Coral, Stan James – BOG, 1/4 odds 1,2,3)
