Saturday's Chartwell Fillies' Stakes (7f) at Lingfield was expected to be a benefit for Group I Coronation Stakes winner
Racing alone against the stand rail, the Chris Wall-trained mare strolled home two and a quarter lengths to earn her maiden stakes win under Ryan Moore. (photo Sporting Life).
"That is a really good performance. She had shown us at home that she had taken a step forward after her race at Newmarket, Wall told Sporting Life.
"Ryan has given her a lovely ride. We discussed staying on the stands rail because, historically, when there is a little bit of juice in the ground it is the best place to be and as she is pretty straightforward, while you would probably prefer a bit of cover, there was a strong tailwind today and we did not want to be too far off the pace.
"He has given her a peach of a ride and she has shown a good turn of foot and quickened up well.
"I will use the old cliche - this was the target and had been for a while. I think we will go away and discuss with the owners what he'd like to do.
"There is nothing really for her at Royal Ascot - I could have put her in the Duke of Cambridge, but I think seven (furlongs) really is her trip. Although she was running well over a mile last year, I felt she wasn't quite getting home over the last 100 yards. I would like to stick at seven but there is a limited programme.
"The important thing with a well-bred filly like her was to get some full black type and that was achieved. I have not discussed it with the owners yet but to do something like taking her to America at some point is not the stupidest thing - if she is going to get a mile round two turns, that's where she will do it. That is to be discussed."
