Rah Rah steps down in class slightly for the Group Three Princess Margaret Juddmonte Stakes over six furlongs on Saturday, July 25.

The Mark Johnston-trained two-year-old was demoted a place to fifth after causing interference in the Group Two Duchess of Cambridge Stakes (Sponsored by QIPCO) over the same distance at Newmarket on July 10.

Previously, she made three appearances over five furlongs, including when fading to 10th of 20 after racing prominently in the Group Two Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot on June 17.

The Lonhro filly rallied gamely for a half-length success in a Chester conditions race on May 6 and powered clear in the closing stages for a decisive win in a Polytrack maiden at Kempton Park on March 28.

William Buick, who partnered Rah Rah at Newmarket and Royal Ascot, takes the ride again.

Mark Johnston said: "Rah Rah is very well. William Buick suggested after she ran at Newmarket that we might think about dropping her back to five furlongs but I think that she is very capable of staying six furlongs.

"Ascot is perhaps a marginally flatter track than Newmarket and this looks a good opportunity for her."

Rah Rah faces six other juvenile fillies including Duchess of Cambridge Stakes runner-up Besharah, Queen Mary Stakes fifth Kassia, Newmarket maiden winner Salvo and Windsor conditions race scorer Whatdoiwantthatfor.

Mythical Girl won the 1998 renewal of the Princess Margaret Stakes for Godolphin.
