Izzy Phillips: Friendly Soul Has Unfinished Business
Find out Izzy Phillips' insights for the 2026 Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot as she backs Friendly Soul to put a troubled last run behind her and trouble Blue Bolt.

Friendly Soul Has Unfinished Business
3:40 Royal Ascot
Duke of Cambridge Stakes
Selection: Friendly Soul
Friendly Soul has such impressive form in 2024, winning the Prix de l’Opera against a good field, and she has course form at Ascot.
She’s actually done nothing wrong this season. Last time she was tanking along before encountering issues with the track and her race was over. I’m happy to put a line through that run.
She’s got unfinished business and I think she can come out and give Blue Bolt plenty to worry about.
Andrew Balding’s stable are in flying form and Oisin Murphy on board is always a bonus.
