Venetian Lace
0-6 since debut win on AW last June and unproven on slow ground; however, she was a fine second in a red-hot running of the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket last October and reappeared with an excellent third in the 1,000 Guineas there (1m) last month; made the running on her last two starts; by Derby winner Masar and rallied in the closing stages last time, so it's possible that this sizeable step up in trip will suit; not ruled out.

From the connections
“As I said here a couple of weeks ago, we were coming here as an Oaks trial and Venetian Lace couldn't have run a much better one than that. She'll definitely stay ten furlongs and she should stay 12 on pedigree. She'll go straight to Epsom now. She got a bit marooned on her own today and maybe if she'd had some company with the first and second she might have got back up for second, but I am still delighted. When she galloped here at the Craven meeting we left feeling we had more of an Oaks filly than a Guineas filly so to finish third in a 1000 Guineas is brilliant - Charlie Johnston, trainer.”
“Venetian Lace run a great race which was no surprise to us as she's always worked like a nice filly which is why she's run in stakes races all her life. We went to Doncaster last time where she was disappointing but I've lost all confidence in the going description at that track. We came here expecting a top-four finish but given a decent surface she has shown her true colours. We'll work back from the Oaks next year and could bring her back here for the 1,000 Guineas first - Charlie Johnston, trainer.”
