John Gosden feels Lah Ti Dar's unscheduled time off the track may benefit her in the long run.

The unbeaten filly was favourite for the Investec Oaks before a setback ruled her out of the Classic.

She was then being prepared for the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot, but was also forced to miss that race and a back-end campaign is now the plan.

"She missed the Oaks, we tried to get her back for the Ribblesdale and we had a slight recurrence," Gosden told At The Races.

"She's now in tremendous form, she looks really good and is just doing easy canters. We're going to get her back for a late summer/autumn campaign.

"Interestingly enough, she's a big filly with a huge frame and she's rather benefited from the time off. Maybe it was all coming too soon for her and maybe nature was kind and was looking after her."
