A dream first season continued for trainer Ollie Sangster when Shuwari placed second behind Ylang Ylang in the Group 1 Fillies Mile at Newmarket on Friday.

The New Bay filly has been the yard's stable star throughout the season, picking up the Listed Star Stakes at Sandown Park before two placings in Group company.

She still showed some signs of inexperience in the closing stages of the Fillies Mile and appears to be an ideal Guineas prospect for next season.

"It was great and we were delighted. If you could have told me at the start of the season that I would have a horse contesting a Group One, let alone finishing second, I would have been thrilled," said Ollie Sangster.

"Obviously, we all want to win and to come so close was tough, but she ran fantastically and gives us a lot to look forward to next year.

"I see us being a miler and I suspect the winner will probably end up getting a bit further. I think in the last 50 yards, Shuwari just got outstayed really.

"You dream to have a horse like this any year, so for one to come along now is just great."

"Touch wood she can stay healthy through the winter and the spring and hopefully that [the 1000 Guineas] will be on our agenda.

"She's not a filly I feel I would need to [run before] and she's kind of straightforward to train, but if I did, I suspect I would probably go for the Fred Darling.

"Newbury is our local track and she also has the course experience already, so I wouldn't feel the need to go back to Newmarket probably. But equally she could easily go straight there."

Shuwari is widely available at 14/1 for next year's 1000 Guineas in May.
