Verdict
After her win at Newmarket last time Barry Hills stated that Fancy Lady would go next for a Group race but it appears Hills has decided to take in this good prize along the way as gallop the filly at home, and her chance looks gilt edged. A runner-up to next years 1000 Guineas favourite Russian Rhythm on her penultimate start, Fancy Lady the went on to win smoothly at Newmarket from Judhoor (winner since) and she lloks impossible to oppose of what is probably a very lenient handicap mark. Litewska could be the one for the forecast with Hannon's other runner Magic Piper a possible for each-way punters.
