Bell thinks Sariska will have big year

Michael Bell believes Sariska is in for a lucrative second half of the campaign after her commendable run in the Investec Coronation Cup.

Last season's dual Oaks winner found only the brilliant Fame And Glory too good in a vintage renewal of the Group One for older middle-distance horses at Epsom on Friday.

However, the Newmarket trainer will not unveil any firm plans for his star four-year-old until he has spoken to her owner Lady Bamford.

"She ran a huge race, but just came up short against a very good horse on the day and we're very proud of her. She'll have a big season hopefully," Bell told At The Races.

"She's come out of it absolutely fine, she cantered this morning and hasn't left an oat since the race.

"She's a clever filly and looks after herself on that ground. We've got some big targets ahead but I have to have a proper chat with her owner Lady Bamford before making plans.

"Nothing is set in stone yet as I need to have a proper discussion with the owner."
