Pretty Perfect goes in Park Hill Stakes Pretty Perfect steps up in distance for the DFS Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster on Thursday. The daughter of Galileo ran away with the Munster Oaks but struggled in the Irish Oaks before finishing an honourable fourth in the Yorkshire Oaks. Aidan O'Brien's filly is the only Irish challenger as Joseph O'Brien's Arya Tara and Toe The Line from John Kiely's stable were taken out at the 48-hour final declaration stage. Last year's St Leger heroine Simple Verse is the star name among the 14 Park Hill runners. The Ralph Beckett-trained filly has yet to get her head in front this season and returns to the scene of her controversial Classic success in which she lost the race in the stewards' room but was given it back on appeal. Beckett will be triple-handed in the Group Two contest over the St Leger course and distance as he has also declared York Listed scorer Pamona and Alyssa, winner of her last three starts. Sir Michael Stoute's progressive filly Abingdon, winner of the Galtres Stakes at York last month, steps up in distance and class. California, trained by John Gosden, took the Lillie Langtry Stakes over a similar trip at Glorious Goodwood on her latest start. Gosden is also represented by Mill Springs. James Fanshawe relies on Moderah after scratching Pecking Order from the race. Completing the line-up are Anzhelika, Carnachy, Forever Popular, Frosty Berry, Star Rider and Tioga Pass.
