Winning Trainer: Chris Waller (Stable Rep: Jo Taylor)

“That was an easy watch. She did a fantastic job. Thought she could be a little bit vulnerable especially with not as much race experience but he was certainly in a class of her own today.

Winning Jockey: James McDonald

“She’s very special. Just the way she does everything so easily. I feel embarrassed taking my riding fee for that one. She is a very, very smart filly and it will take a crowbar to get me off her.

“Once I got into that right spot I was very comfortable for three furlongs. Her acceleration is something to behold. She gives you the feel of a proper horse.

“It probably looked as good as it felt. She’s a lovely filly. Taken her time. She could have easily run as a two-year-old but they’ve taken their time with her.

“She’s a very good horse. She’s been very push button. She’s been very well educated. The world is going to be her oyster.

“It’ll take something for a horse to beat a performance like that in Cup Week.”

Comparison between Espoina and Fangirl: “They’re both going to be very good in their own right. We’ll work it out in the autumn. Very smart fillies. Both sharp at their different stages.

“Fangirl might sprint a bit more.”
