PROTEST returns to winning ways with a gutsy performance under Silvestre de Sousa at Glorious Goodwood.

Three-year-old PROTEST was a winner on debut last year over 1m and fourth in the 1m2f Listed Childwickbury Stud Fillies' Trial Stake at Newbury behind subsequent Group 2 winner Qilin Queen last time out in May. Dropping back to 1m for this afternoon's Handicap debut, PROTEST travelled handily under Silvestre de Sousa showed a pleasing attitude to dig deep in the closing stages - staying on well up the stand side rail to win by a length.

Many congratulations to connections Cheveley Park Stud - PROTEST is a homebred daughter of Cheveley Park Stud's Ulysses.
