Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe heroine Danedream could make her first trip to Britain this summer after a winning return to action on Sunday.

Peter Schiergen's four-year-old ran out a brilliant winner of Europe's premier middle-distance contest last October, but failed to fire on her only subsequent start of 2011 in the Japan Cup.

She was back on-song on her seasonal return in her homeland of Germany, holding off her rivals comfortably despite tiring in the closing stages of the Grosser Preis Der Badischen Unternehmer at Baden-Baden.

The Lomitas filly could now return to France before making the cross-Channel journey for the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes in July.

"I'm very happy as it was her first start after a break," said Schiergen.

"She was not 100% - maybe she was only 80% - but thankfully she was fit enough and she should improve for the race.

"I am not sure what we will do next. I will have to talk with the owner.

"We have options in France and England. Maybe she could go for the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and then the King George at Ascot.

"We will give her the entries and then make some decisions."
