The exciting Bluestocking will head to Royal Ascot for the Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes or to France for the Group 1 Prix de Diane (French Oaks), dependant on ground conditions.

Trained by Ralph Beckett, the filly made an impressive start to her career when taking a Salisbury novice stakes over a mile as a juvenile.

She returned after the winter break with a commendable second over ten furlongs in the Listed Haras De Bouquetot Fillies' Trial Stakes at Newbury behind Warm Heart, denied only a head at the line.

Although the Juddmonte-owned filly is out of Group 1 Matron Stakes winning mare Emulous, the influence of her sire Camelot suggests she will improve for a longer distance.

Juddmonte's racing manager Barry Mahon said: "She worked well on Tuesday morning and has the option of the Ribblesdale and she also has the option of the Prix de Diane as well.

"She's a filly who probably won't want rattling fast ground, so that will probably sway us as to where we end up going.

If the forecast was mostly dry and Ascot was looking very quick, then we could consider going to France as I know there is rain forecast for there early next week."

Connections decided to swerve the Epsom Oaks and Mahon explained the reasoning behind their decision: "It was purely down to a lack of experience. You need a bit of experience to handle a track like that.

"It would have been her third run and if you're very street-wise and it's your third run it's fine, but we saw at Newbury she was quite green and looked inexperienced and cold.

"To be green on a conventional track like that I think didn't bode well for Epsom, so we all felt we'd give her a bit more time and run her on a more conventional track."
