Highway on course for Ascot Princess Highway remains on course to try to emulate her dam by winning the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot. The Street Cry filly is out of Irresistible Jewel, who landed the Ascot Group Two in 2002 for trainer Dermot Weld. Weld has already enjoyed success with Princess Highway's half-sister Mad About You, who was a Group Three winner and placed four times at the highest level, and the youngest sibling looks like upholding the family tradition. Princess Highway won the Blue Wind Stakes last time and jockey Pat Smullen is expecting even more in the future. He told At The Races: "I think when she gets her ground she will improve for that again. "She won very well in Naas, doing it the hard way by picking them off a furlong in. "I think she's going there (Royal Ascot). The boss' plan is to go there. I think there's big things ahead for her hopefully."
