Shes Perfect just that in workout, with Newmarket decision pending
First past the post in the French 1000 Guineas before being demoted by the ParisLongchamp stewards, she failed failed to see out the 10-furlong trip in the Prix de Diane.
Fellowes would love a confidence-boosting win, with the Group Three Valiant Stakes at Ascot later in the month an alternative, but he also feels Newmarket will suit the daughter of Sioux Nation.
'The gallop went really well and I was very, very happy. She worked over seven furlongs, it was beautiful ground and I was very grateful to those at the July course for letting us do it,' said Fellowes.
'She looked great after it and we'll see how she comes out of it. I'll probably make a decision in the next few days or so.
'It's a funny one, if it was the Valiant at Newmarket and the Group One at Ascot it would be a very easy decision because I like the idea of running at Newmarket – but I also like the idea of dropping down in grade and giving her a confidence boost. I just think Newmarket will suit her better than Ascot.
'We'll look at potentially what is going to turn up and we'll go from there.'

Lucy Bronze says tough opener makes England's Euro challenge ‘more exciting'
Sarina Wiegman's side open their tournament against 2022 semi-finalists France on Saturday in Zurich, then take on 2017 champions the Netherlands on Wednesday before their group stage concludes against newcomers Wales on July 13. With France and the Netherlands also in the top 11 in FIFA's global rankings, it is a more difficult immediate ask than England's 2023 World Cup group, which included matches against Haiti and China, and arguably a far smaller margin for error in the event of a similarly uneven start this time. 'It's a good and a bad thing,' said Bronze. Our #WEURO2025 campaign begins TOMORROW 🤩 — Lionesses (@Lionesses) July 4, 2025 'It depends on the result. If we lose that game, everyone says it's the worst. If we win that game, it's the best thing. It's similar for every other team. I think we just try to look at the positives in the fact that we get to test ourselves against the good teams straight away. There's no surprises going through the tournament. 'We know the standard that you have to be at, whereas other teams maybe can build in, but you don't really know the level then. 'So we've just got to take it for what it is and be excited to play in a big game. I think when you get to these kinds of tournaments, you want to play in the big games against the best players. And why not have it in your first game? It makes it more exciting.' Bronze is familiar with many of the French players from her time at Lyon, while versatile Chelsea team-mate Sandy Baltimore recently enjoyed a league campaign that Bronze said was 'probably the season where people have noticed her.' World Cup holders Spain – who beat England in the Sydney final two years ago – were the bookmakers' favourites entering this tournament, and did nothing to diminish that assessment after beating Portugal 5-0 in their Thursday opener. Bronze, 33, is about to begin her fourth consecutive Euros and seventh major tournament and is soaking up the excitement exuded by her less experienced team-mates ahead of the opener.

'I think we're just excited to turn up to the tournament and play really well. We've got it in us to put on a really good performance. 'I think the last 12 months we've [had] some good performances defensively, then, good ones attacking wise, and then trying to mash everything together is always, that's the dream isn't it, for every team? And I think if we get that right, we could be the best team in the tournament, to be honest.'

Lucy Bronze says tough opener makes England's Euro challenge ‘more exciting'
England right-back Lucy Bronze insists the tough task of facing France first at the Women's European Championship will ensure there are 'no surprises' about what it will take for the Lionesses to defend their title in Switzerland.
