Brian Meehan has confirmed that his impressive York winner Theyskens’ Theory will head straight for the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The filly returned to action to dismiss her rivals with consummate ease in the Listed Michael Seely Memorial Stakes on the Knavesmire.

She had shown smart form as a juvenile, including a five-length defeat of subsequent 1000 Guineas winner Blue Bunting in a Newmarket maiden.

The daughter of Bernadini was also third in the Fillies’ Mile and sixth at the Breeders’ Cup, with a return to America at some stage on the cards.

“You’d have to be pleased with that, it was the right race for her and it will help her confidence. She’ll go straight for the Coronation,” said Meehan.

“Her owner is American so further down the line you can imagine her going there, but they start off with me and he has been very good to me.”
