After her run in the Mooresbridge, we said we wouldn't race her again until the ground was soft, as she is really effective on it. We wanted to have her fresh for a good autumn and while it would have been great to find a Group race, this fitted in lovely. She was carrying a penalty, but it was an easy race to watch and she was impressive. We'll swing big now and the Prix de Royallieu on Arc weekend fits in with the timings. That's where we'd love to go and I don't think there is anything suitable in between. After that, we have Champions Day at Ascot and there's also a Group 1 in Germany in November. I wouldn't like to rule out bringing her back in next year, as fillies who like soft ground are so hard to find. She is a queen.

He really went through the race with great enthusiasm and he won snug. We are having a think about an American option for him and he also has some options at home. We'll have a chat with Ronnie and see what he'd like to do. It was just great to see him come back and show that enthusiasm. He likes to win races.
