Seta set for Ascot run

Seta will be seen next at Royal Ascot after her fluent Goodwood Listed-race success last month.

Luca Cumani’s striking chestnut is still to strike at Group level, finishing down the field in the 1000 Guineas and Sun Chariot last season, but is a useful filly on her day, as she showed in the Conqueror Stakes on April 30.

“The Windsor Forest Stakes at Ascot is the next logical step and she’ll go there without a race in between,” reported www.lucacumani.com.

“The only other option here would have been a Group Three at Epsom’s Derby meeting but the steeper gradients there aren’t sure to suit one with her action, not least if the ground stays on the fast side.”

Stablemate Dubai Queen landed a maiden at the Sussex course and could head for the Sandringham Handicap at the Royal meeting, while Contredanse is pencilled in for the Prix Corrida at Saint-Cloud.

Forte Dei Marmi, no match for Await The Dawn at Chester, could take in next month’s Gran Premio di Milano.
