Mark Johnston is considering the German 1000 Guineas for Nyaleti after she returned to winning ways at Goodwood on Saturday.

Having been well beaten in good races at Newcastle and Newmarket this season, she appreciated the drop in grade to Listed level and proved she stays a mile in the process.

"It's good to get her back on track, although it was a drop down to Listed company to get her back on track," said Johnston.

"It was great to get her head in front and that is the most important thing with all horses.

"There is a fair chance she will go the German 1000 Guineas next (in Dusseldort on May 27).

"The German 1000 Guineas is a Group Two and she is a Group Three winner, so it would be nice to get a Group Two under her belt.
