On Friday we are back at headquarters for Newmarket's two day Dubai future champions day festival .Going concentrate on one the supporting races the £40,000 Pride Listed Stakes at  5.20 .

13 Runners declared for 1M 2F Pride Stakes on ground described as good .Not bad looking fillies & mares listed contest .The three main contenders on official ratings are Architecture , Chain Of Daisies & Wilamina .

ARCHITECTURE : Four-year-old bay filly ,winning 1 out 9 .Shown some very useful form last season ,including finishing second in both English and Irish Oaks .Made promising seasonal  reappearance ,finishing 1L fourth in group three Legacy Cup at Newbury last time .Obvious claims on the pick last seasons form,though only victory came in maiden two years ago .

CHAIN OF DAISIES : Five-year-old bay mare ,winning 6 out 16 ,including winning this race  back in 2015 .Had some top class form in 2016 ,including winning group three Winter Hill Stakes at Windsor ,beating the useful Ulysses .Also finished fair third in this years Winter Hill stakes in August .Should go well returning to listed company .

WILAMINA : Four-year-old bay filly ,winning 2 out 9.Been in good form this season , including winning in listed race in May.Also finished creditable second in group two Kilboy Stakes at Curragh in July.Slightly disappointing when beaten over 10L in group three company last time in Ireland,though will be suited by this better ground .Each-way claims .

VERDICT : Architecture is sure be popular dropping down in class ,having finished second in two group one races last season.On official ratings looks the one to beat (5LB clear),though hasn't won since winning a maiden back in 2015.Also this shorter trip doesn't look ideal.Respected though odds around 15-8 look no value .

CHAIN OF DAISIES looks solid returning to listed company.Has proven record in this grade ,including winning this race back in 2015.Has been lightly raced in 2017,though there was little wrong with 2.5L third behind Fabricate in stronger race at Windsor last time.Odds around 6-1 look decent each-way value .
