Gifted Girl bids for a first Listed success in Tuesday's Weatherbys VAT Services Pipalong Stakes at Pontefract before a possible assignment in America.

Paul Cole's main concern is quick going at the West Yorkshire course, where she will take on nine rivals, including a rematch with the Richard Fahey-trained Ladys First.

Gifted Girl started off her year by winning an Ascot fillies' handicap and than ran a most respectable second to Thistle Bird in the Group Three Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom.

"I'm just a bit worried about the ground if it's hard up there, as she's a big filly," said Cole.

"She's going, though, and there's the possibility of taking her to America next month for the Beverly D Stakes."

Ladys First was third at Epsom and left a disappointing effort at York behind when runner-up to Duntle in the Duke of Cambridge at Royal Ascot.

Epsom fifth Ultrasonic lines up for the in-form Sir Michael Stoute while Clive Brittain's Semayyel, a Listed winner at Yarmouth last summer, drops back to the same grade.
