The Danehill Dancer filly was unbeaten in two races last season, winning a Listed contest over a mile on her debut before defeating French Guineas third Wild Wind in the Park Stakes over seven furlongs.
Both of those wins were achieved with cut in the ground, however, and Wachman would not be keen for her to take part in conditions that were too quick.
“I’m very happy with her, she’s in good form,” said Wachman.
“She wouldn’t want the ground too quick so we’ll have to see what the track is like nearer the time.
“This has always been her aim all winter, absolutely.
“She made her debut over a mile in a Listed race and then dropped to seven furlongs for her next race and the form of that was franked when Aidan’s finished third in France at the weekend.
“We’ll just have to see what the ground is like and hope we get a bit of rain.
“Good ground would be fine for her and I’d imagine Wayne Lordan will ride her.”
Chrysanthemum is one of 16 fillies left in, which includes Newmarket Guineas runner-up Together.
Aidan O’Brien’s three-year-old beat all bar Godolphin’s Blue Bunting in the English equivalent and could be joined by as many as four stablemates.
Moyglare Stud and Prix Marcel Boussac winner Misty For Me, Wild Wind, the lightly-raced Look At Me and Why could all represent Ballydoyle.
Jim Bolger’s Banimpire has been in a rich vein of form lately, winning the Ballysax Stakes against the colts and the Blue Wind Stakes at Naas. She is already looking for her fourth win of the season. Bolger could also run Claiomh Solais.
John Oxx has two nice prospects in the race with Emiyna and History Note, while Kevin Prendergast has left in Handassa, Rose Bonheur and Seeharn.
Jessica Harrington has withdrawn Siren’s Song but Laughing Lashes could still run for the yard.
Mick Channon’s Majestic Dubawi is the sole British representative.
Paddy Power make Oxx’s Athasi Stakes winner Emiyna their 4-1 favourite with Together next-best at 9-2.
HURRICANE Higgins could blow into Longchamp on Sunday for the Prix de l’Avre over a mile and a half.
Mark Johnston’s colt was considered an unlucky loser behind stablemate Dordogne in the Lingfield Derby Trial.
He ran around in the closing stages, making life very difficult for his jockey Joe Fanning, yet only went down by half a length.
His target is the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot on June 17 and owner Alan Spence feels he needs more experience before that red-hot contest.
“He’s probably going to run at Longchamp on Sunday, we are just going to check what else might be going,” said Spence.
“Ideally he needs another run before the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot.
“If he had run in a straight line at Lingfield I think he would have won.
“He’s very green but very good.”
CONNECTIONS of Dubawi Gold are in confident mood as he prepares for another shot at Classic glory in Saturday’s Abu Dhabi Irish 2000 Guineas.
Owner Andrew Tinkler was prepared to supplement his colt for the Curragh event after his highly respectable second to Frankel at Newmarket and he was quickly installed as favourite by the bookmakers.
Although Dubawi Gold showed plenty of good form for Michael Dods last year, he has thrived since moving to Richard Hannon this season and won two Listed races at Lingfield before his 2000 Guineas effort.
“He’s absolutely spot-on,” said Tim Jones, Tinkler’s racing manager.
“He did a nice piece of work at the weekend and Richard is very happy with him.
“It’s all systems go and he will probably travel over to Ireland tomorrow.
“There are some really interesting horses in the race – Dunboyne Express is a decent horse and Aidan O’Brien has his usual smattering of entries.
“We won’t be taking any of them lightly but his Guineas run was a very solid effort and we feel he goes there as a worthy favourite.”
Tinkler has another entry in the race through the Dods-trained Ashva, who was fifth of six in last week’s Dante at York.
But Jones explained: “The system in Ireland is slightly different in that you have to forfeit horses rather than confirm them at the five-day stage.
“We’re not being clever and having him in there as a pacemaker – it’s very unlikely he’ll be running.”
SIDE Glance has earned himself a mid-season break after winning the Royal Windsor Stakes last week.
Andrew Balding’s gelding was making his third start of the season having finished third at Leicester before winning a good race at Ascot by six lengths from the bang in-form St Moritz.
With no suitable target at the Royal meeting for the four-year-old, Balding is easing off him with the intention of coming back for the likes of the Summer Mile at Ascot in July.
“He’s going to have a bit of a break now and we are going to bring him back for a summer campaign,” said Balding.
“I think we are going to aim him at the likes of the Summer Mile and races like that.
“He had three fairly quick races at the start of the season and there’s nothing at Royal Ascot for him anyway.”
DELEGATOR has bounced out of his impressive win in the Duke of York Stakes in great form.
Saeed bin Suroor’s five-year-old ran over six furlongs for the first time in his career on the Knavesmire and certainly did not want for pace.
Having finished second to the incomparable Sea The Stars in the 2000 Guineas in 2009, it was no surprise connections persevered over a mile but he now looks to have found a new niche for himself in the sprint division.
He will be aimed at the Golden Jubilee at Royal Ascot next but the trainer feels the fact he has been free of injury for the first time in a long while was a key factor.
“He’s fine after the race. He’s sound, healthy and happy,” said Bin Suroor.
“He’s now looking really well and everything is good with him, he’s had no problems.
“It was a nice confidence-booster for him, he didn’t really have a hard race.
“He has the speed for six furlongs, that is no problem to him. I think we’ll stick to sprinting for the rest of the season.
“We will be aiming towards Ascot with him and the Golden Jubilee, I think he’ll have a good season.
“The main thing is he has had no problems with his feet this season.”
Delegator is 7-1 favourite with Sky Bet for the Ascot race.
JOHN Quinn expects New Planet to improve as the season goes on as he prepares to get his campaign under way in the betfred.com Temple Stakes at Haydock on Saturday.
The Majestic Missile colt won his first two starts as a juvenile, including the Roses Stakes at York, before finishing third in the Flying Childers to Zebedee.
Quinn has not entered him at Royal Ascot, hoping his patience pays off later down the line.
“He seems in good form,” said Quinn.
“He’s also in at York this weekend (sportingbet.com Sprint) so we don’t know where we’re going to run him but the likelihood is that he’ll probably go to Haydock.
“The weight-for-age allowance brings him right into it on the ratings, he’s certainly not out of it.
“We’re pleased with him and we just want to get him going.
“He only had three runs last year, we were mindful not to overdo him hoping that he’d progress, so we’ll keep our fingers crossed.
“It can take the three-year-olds a while to get used to racing against older horses but he’s in good form and he’s fit.
“We haven’t entered him for Ascot as we didn’t want to ask too much of him in the first half of the year as the rest of the major sprints come later on.”
SIR Michael Stoute has decided against taking on So You Think in Sunday’s Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh with Workforce.
Last year’s Derby and Arc hero had the ten-furlong Group One as his target for some time, but connections made no secret of the fact last week they were keen to give him an easier introduction to his four-year-old campaign.
Instead, he is now likely to appear in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown on May 26.
So You Think, the former Australian superstar, made a startling first appearance in Europe when winning the Mooresbridge Stakes unextended by ten lengths and looks set to be a major player in all the top races this summer.
His Aidan O’Brien-trained stablemate Await The Dawn also looks set for a big season after his easy success in the Huxley Stakes at Chester.
Jan Vermeer, Viscount Nelson and Windsor Palace are others from Ballydoyle among the ten acceptors.
British interests at this stage revolve around Godolphin’s Campanologist and Roger Charlton’s Clowance.
Dermot Weld’s prolific Famous Name and the Harry Rogers-trained Mid Mon Lady are others engaged.
