Isabella impresses with Prestige performance
Goodwood glory goes to Cox-trained runner.
Isabella Giles earned quotes for next year’s 1000 Guineas after getting her career back on track with a decisive success in the Ladbrokes Prestige Stakes at Goodwood. Having surrendered her unbeaten record in a Group Three at Ascot last time out, the Clive Cox-trained daughter of Belardo bounced back to form with victory at the same level on her first start over seven furlongs.

Hitting the front over a furlong out, Isabella Giles maintained a strong gallop all the way to the line under Adam Kirby to defeat runner-up Prado by seven lengths.The Clive Cox trained Isabella Giles after taking Group Three Prestige Stakes under Adam Kirby @Goodwood_Races pic.twitter.com/lOBnqI8E8V
