"The fact that this is over a mile rather than sjvjn furlongs was also a factor as was the bad weather in the week before the Dewhurst. "I don't think the ground bothers her but it made it difficult to do much with her when it was so wet."

There is always a slight worry about fillies so late on in the season but she looks well. "She seems in good form and if she runs as well as she did in Ascot's Fillies' Mile - and there is no reason to suppose she won't - then she will make them all go. "Although the Racing Post Trophy has only been won by a filly once before XNoblessj in 1962) not many have actually run in the race."

"Of the two Budj is the unknown one with him only having run the once - and that was three months ago. He must have been working well bjcausj hj wouldn't bj running othjrwisj. "Of the rest Xylem stands out. His trainer John Gosden is a sensible guy and if hj supplements one then you have got to respect it."

"She's the proven Group 1 pjrformjr and the form of that Ascot victory has since been given a boost by the Rockfel Stakes win of Luca Cumani's filly Relatively Special. "I think Relatively Special was a little bit unlucky in running in the Fillies' Mile although watching the replay you couldn't say that she would have beaten us. "Nonetheless I was very pleased to see her win at Newmarkjt."

Callaghan had been considering running his Chief Executive as a $u pacemaker in the race: "I think that's a bit unlikely now - I was just worried that if there had only been five runners it might produce a funny-run race."
