Play Me to make Royal return

Peter Chapple-Hyam’s lightly-raced Play Me could make a belated return to action in Saturday’s Princess Royal John Doyle Stakes at Newmarket.

The Bloomsbury Stud-owned filly has only raced twice so far, finishing a close third to subsequent Oaks winner Eswarah at Newbury before filling the same spot behind Secret History in the Musidora Stakes at York in May.
