Thistle Bird takes flight

Thistle Bird claimed a first victory at Group level with a determined triumph in the Investec-sponsored Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom.
A three-times winner in Listed company last year and a fair third on her return in Newmarket's Dahlia Stakes, Roger Charlton's talented filly was a 3-1 favourite for this Group Three assignment.
Making Eyes cut out much of the running and briefly looked to have got loose, but her stride shortened in the straight and Thistle Bird took over the lead a couple of furlongs down under James Doyle before doing enough to hold Gifted Girl by three-quarters of a length. The consistent Ladys First ran another fine race in third.
