Speedy Boarding could be stepped back up in grade after Wednesday
The James Fanshawe-trained filly looked an exciting prospect when winning a Listed race at Newbury on just her third outing.
She was then stepped up markedly in class for the Irish Oaks and while not disgraced behind Covert Love at the Curragh, it appeared she failed to see out the mile-and-a-half trip.
However, Fanshawe did not think that was the only reason she was beaten and he is hoping she can return to winning ways before stepping back up in class.
“I don’t think the trip was the sole reason in Ireland,” said Fanshawe.
“I’m pretty sure that she’ll stay a mile and a half in the future.
“She seems in good form at home at the moment, although she has a 4lb penalty for her Listed win at Newbury which makes it a bit tougher.
“But, we’ve gone for a less good race with a view that hopefully we can then take a look at (bigger targets) in the autumn.”
