The Platinum Queen supplemented for Nunthorpe challenge
Juvenile to tackle York Group One.
Richard Fahey’s two-year-old The Platinum Queen has been supplemented at a cost of GBP 40,000 for Friday’s Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes at York. The rapid juvenile scorched the turf at Goodwood last time out in a very quick time and has won three of her four starts to date, with her sole defeat coming in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Hollie Doyle will take the ride on the filly, who gets a huge weight and sex allowance as she takes on her elders. Tom Palin, racing manager for owners Middleham Park Racing tweeted: “After discussions between @RichardFahey and her owners, The Platinum Queen has been supplemented for the Group 1 Nunthorpe @YorkClerk and will be ridden by @HollieDoyle1.”🚀 56.50s – a new 2-Y-O track record from The Platinum Queen @Goodwood_Races @MprUpdates | @OrrOisin | @RichardFahey pic.twitter.com/QNioZnI2cl

Lying in wait is James Tate’s unbeaten three-year-old filly Royal Aclaim, so impressive when winning over the same course and distance she will face on Friday last time out. She faces a big step up in class but has been the market leader for the race ever since her most recent outing. John Quinn has left his Prix Maurice de Gheest winner Highfield Princess among the 17 confirmations. Charlie Hills’ Khaadem and the Mick Appleby-trained Raasel were first and second in the King George Stakes at Goodwood, with just a neck between them, and the pair look set to clash again.
