Charlie Appleby intends to step Sorrengail up in class on her next start after earmarking the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Dick Poole Fillies’ Stakes at Salisbury as a potential target.
The daughter of Wootton Bassett put an encouraging performance on her debut at Newmarket when making good late headway to finish fourth behind her stablemate Acting Lady.
With the benefit of that experience behind her, the Godolphin-owned filly then went three places better under Billy Loughnane when running out a decisive winner of a six furlong fillies’ novice event at Ascot on Friday.
On the back of that win Appleby has identified the Group Three test over six furlongs at the Wiltshire track on September 3 as a possible next port of call for Sorrengail.
Appleby said: “I was delighted with Sorrengail at Ascot on Friday. She ran a promising race at Newmarket first time out and it was good to see her back it up.
“She has had two runs quite quickly now so we will probably give her a little bit of a break now and look towards the Dick Poole down at Salisbury in September with her.”
