Marsha is most likely to head straight to Royal Ascot following her victory in the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday.

The four-year-old filly enhanced her prospects for the King's Stand Stakes next month in some style as she defied a 7lb penalty for her win in the Prix de l'Abbaye at Chantilly in October.

Marsha has a few options before Royal Ascot, including the Temple Stakes at Haydock on May 27, but it is doubtful she will be seen in action again until June 20.

Trainer Sir Mark Prescott reports Marsha to have come out of her seasonal reappearance in good form.

"She's fine, she probably won't run again until Ascot," said the Newmarket handler.
