Newbury or Paris next on the agenda for Tamfana

David Menuisier believes star filly is “ready to go again”, with the Lockinge Stakes or Prix d’Ispahan next on the agenda for the four-year-old.

The daughter of Soldier Hollow made her seasonal reappearance in the bet365 Mile last month, finishing only a length and three-quarters behind Roger Teal’s Dancing Gemini in second at Sandown.

Menuisier revealed she has come out of the race in rude health and will make a return to Group One action, although a destination of Newbury or ParisLongchamp has not yet been finalised.

“She’s grand, she’s come out of the race really well and she’s ready to go again,” the Frenchman said.

“It went to plan, she was always going to need the run. So she ran the race and just got tired at the end, which was always going to happen, and came out of the race really great.

“She’ll go for the Lockinge next week or the Prix d’Ispahan, I’m not sure as of yet. No decision has been made yet.

“We will consider everything between a mile and 10 furlongs and see where she wants to go.”

produced a promising display when third on his return to action in the Group Three John Porter at Newbury last month.

He was only two lengths behind the Andrew Balding-trained winner Divina Grace, with Tom Clover’s Tabletalk splitting the pair, and Menuisier is expecting a busy campaign for the four-year-old.

“Yeah, I’m happy and he will try to do a bit better in the Aston Park here next week at Newbury,” the Pulborough-based handler added.

“We will take each run as it comes and it might be too close to the Coronation Cup. Frankly, he will be entered in all those big races, he’s entered in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud as well.

“All options will be open, but we just want to take it step by step and take it from there.”

Menuisier admitted the ground was too fast for potential Betfred Oaks contender when she finished down the field in the Pretty Polly Stakes at Newmarket last weekend.

Epsom or the French Oaks remain distinct possibilities for the three-year-old daughter of New Bay, but the Listed Height of Fashion Stakes at Goodwood looks set to be her next assignment.

“She’s fine. The ground was too quick, but we looked after her on the way home,” Menuisier said.

“You can draw a line, you can do what you like. She needed the race, the ground was too quick and we looked after her. Yeah, definitely (she needs softer ground), then take it from there.

“I don’t know really (whether the Oaks is still an option), it’s still a fair way off.

“I think Goodwood next, if possible, for the Height of Fashion – and then after that, all the possibilities are open.”
