Royal Fixation, who has already made quite a mark in a short space of time, now has her sights set firmly on this, after stamping her authority on the Lowther at York on August 21.

A right ROYAL result 🫅

The daughter of Palace Pier, carrying the silks of Opulence Thoroughbreds, has progressed with each outing: successful on debut at Thirsk in June, then finding only Venetian Sun too strong when pitched straight into Group Two company for the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes on Newmarket’s July course.

That form has since been burnished in the best possible way. Venetian Sun, who had earlier taken the Albany at Royal Ascot, advertised her own class again by capturing the Prix Morny at Deauville. Royal Fixation herself confirmed she belonged in such company when powering home on the Knavesmire, the manner of her success marking her as a filly on the rise.

The next rung on the ladder comes in the shape of the Group One Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket, run over six furlongs at the end of September, and trainer Ed Walker is relishing the opportunity.

“She’s come out of York absolutely fine, we were delighted with her,” said Walker.

“She’s in great nick at home, we were aiming for the Cheveley Park and now that’s the race we’re training her for.

“All being well that’s where we’ll go next.”

In a season where juvenile contests have already produced their share of sparkling stories, Royal Fixation looks poised to add her name to the roll call at racing’s highest level.
