Wachman expecting Lily to fire

DAVID WACHMAN is anticipating a bold show from Fire Lily in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot today.

The daughter of Dansili made a winning racecourse debut at Navan back in April and was last seen finishing third behind the Coventry Stakes-bound Power in a Listed contest at the Curragh.

The fact Wachman was slightly disappointed his filly was beaten that day speaks volumes about the regard in which she is held, and the Irish trainer is looking forward to running her back against her own sex on Wednesday.
