Hannon's Dark Lady arguably the form pick in open Prestige Stakes

Richard Hannon hopes to strike for a second time in a race that eluded his father, Richard senior, when he saddles Sweet Solera Stakes third Dark Lady for the Ladbrokes Prestige Stakes.

The stable won the Goodwood Group 3 two years ago with subsequent Qipco 1,000 Guineas winner Billesdon Brook, and Dark Lady's Newmarket run behind West End Girl, when Saturday's opponents Romsey was fourth and Ananya fifth, is just about the best form on offer in what looks an open renewal.

Hannon said: "Dark Lady ran well at Newmarket on her first try at seven furlongs last time and a sharp seven around Goodwood should be right up her street. It's a decent little race, but she's in great form and it would be good to get some proper black type."

Hughie Morrison is hopeful of another good run from Romsey, who is entitled to be thereabouts again.

He said: "Romsey has already proved she's up to that sort of level and has been unlucky twice in being significantly interfered with, so maybe her day will come. She's a sweet filly who was born and bred near Goodwood and hopefully she'll be in the first three."

The remainder of the nine-runner field are a little less exposed and Boomer, who had Stylistique in third when a good winner of a Newbury maiden, and Shadn, who won a Listed race on the same course, are obvious contenders for top-three finishes.

Tom Dascombe saddles the Kingman filly Boomer for Bert Black's Chasemore Farm and said: "She improved a great deal on her first run to win well at Newbury last time and she deserves her chance in a good quality race like this. I gather she's favourite, or nearly favourite, so let's hope she's got a favourite's chance."

Andrew Balding is equally hopeful of Shadn and said: "She won a Listed race very well at Newbury last time and she won't be bothered by the step up in trip. In fact, the extra furlong should suit her, so fingers crossed."

The least exposed runner is Sir Mark Prescott's debut Epsom winner Alpinista.

Assistant trainer William Butler said: "She's a beautifully bred daughter of Frankel who was impressive on debut at Epsom, so you'd hope she'd handle Goodwood. We are excited and looking forward to running her."
