Ed Walker anticipating bold Lowther show from Royal Fixation
Owned by Opulence Thoroughbreds, Ed Walker's youngster pushed Albany Stakes scorer Venetian Sun to within a neck in the Group Two Duchess of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket and her team are confident they have a top-class prospect on their hands ahead of this next assignment. 'She's done nothing but please us really and this has been the plan since Newmarket,' said Walker. 'There will be a couple in there with a bit more experience than her but that was a huge run at Newmarket on just her second start and we're very excited about her. 'We've always liked her and she's a short price in a Group Two, so she's got to go and prove it now and there's some very unexposed and equally very good fillies in there. So it's far from a given, but we think she's in good form and hopefully she can go well.' One of those unexposed fillies Walker may have to worry about is Richard Hughes' America Queen, who created a deep impression when romping to a 12-length Haydock success on debut. Connections have reached for the services of Ryan Moore for the exciting €180,000 purchase who is an intriguing proposition on just her second start. 'She was very impressive at Haydock and we don't really know what was behind her, but she was just in a different league to them that day,' said Philip Robinson, racing manager to owner Jaber Abdullah. 'It's going to be interesting and she could be absolutely anything. It can be a different thing though once stepping up to take on other quality horses and you will find out where you are. 'We're very pleased to get Ryan Moore for a big occasion like this and we're just keeping our fingers crossed and looking forward to it.' Hughes and Abdullah will also be represented in the race by Mood Queen, while Charlie Johnston's unbeaten Timeforshowcasing also sports the owner's colours in the six-furlong event. 'Timeforshowcasing is another who is progressive and Charlie has always thought a lot of her,' continued Robinson. 'There's even Mood Queen in there who has shown a nice level of form, but I think between America Queen and Timeforshowcasing we have a realistic chance of taking the race. 'With America Queen, I'm just hoping can prove she is something a little bit special – we'll know exactly where we are this time next week.' George Scott's Princess Margaret Stakes runner-up Staya and Tim Easterby's consistent Argentine Tango – last seen chasing home Lady Iman in the Molecomb at Goodwood – add further spice to an intriguing contest. Brian Ellison fields Criterium du Bequet winner Wor Faayth, seven years after his The Mackem Bullet was agonisingly denied in the dying strides of this contest. 'She won very well last time and is a nice filly,' said Ellison. 'She's been in great form since and I'm really happy with her. This has been the plan since La Teste De Buch and she's a Listed winner. 'She's a really fast filly and it's great to have Tom (Marquand) on board, he's top-class. I think she will run well and she's done nothing wrong at home. 'Her work has been great, she's a tough filly who eats well and she took her trip to France very well, so we're very hopeful.' Simon and Ed Crisford's Dandana got the better of Karl Burke's Pearl Fortune at Ripon recently to take her record to two from two and now both step up in grade, while similar applies to Dylan Cunha's Windsor winner Come On Eibhlin. Adrian Keatley's Marygate scorer Secret Hideaway returns to the scene of her finest hour to complete the line-up.
