Ryan Moore brings Simmering to the boil just in time

Ollie Sangster’s filly gets up close home for Princess Margaret win.

Simmering shed her maiden tag in style with a tenacious victory in the Sodexo Live! Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot.

Third in a hot novice at York first time up, she was thrown into the much hotter waters of the Albany Stakes at the Royal meeting, where only Aidan O’Brien’s exciting Fairy Godmother proved too good as she stormed home late in the day.

Sold privately to Al Shaqab Racing since then, Ollie Sangster’s filly gave her new owners an immediate return with Group Three honours.

There was a scare for backers of the 11-8 favourite when Mandurah got first run on the market leader, but once Ryan Moore got into the drive position, she finished strongly to beat Betty Clover and Tales Of The Heart by a neck and half a length.
