Mine is stepped up to Group 1 company Aidan O'Brien relies on Leopardstown maiden winner You'll Be Mine to give him his third triumph in the Meon Valley Stud Fillies' Mile at Ascot tomorrow. However, jockey Johnny Murtagh feels the impeccably-bred daughter of Kingmambo has what it takes to make the giant leap to Group One company. "She won her maiden and it's a big step up but we think she's got a good chance," said Murtagh, who added: "She's well-bred and we like her." Godolphin hope quick ground will see Long Lashes return to her best after finishing fourth to Termagant in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh. She had won a Listed race on her debut at the same course for Jessica Harrington before a transfer to Godolphin and another win in the Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket. Trainer Saeed Bin Suroor explained: "She found the ground too soft in Ireland last time but it should suit her very well this weekend. The mile will be no problem and she is in good form." The step up to a mile is expected to suit Mudaaraah, who just failed to peg back Sent From Heaven in the seven-furlong Prestige Stakes at Goodwood. "She ran very well last time. She will appreciate the mile at Ascot and she's not over big but she's got a big heart," said jockey Richard Hills of the John Dunlop-trained filly.
