While Hermosa (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Jubiloso (GB) (Shamardal) played out their keenly-anticipated act, Alexander Tamagni=s G3 Prix Imprudence winner slipped past and on to glory with no hint of fluke to cap a stellar week for the Francis-Henris Graffard stable. Only sixth in the G1 Poule d=Essai des Pouliches when last seen on May 12, the 20-1 shot travelled like a dream throughout under one of France=s very best in Pierre-Charles Boudot. Stalking Hermosa, she moved by the even-money favourite with over a furlong remaining and was pushed out to readily assert for a convincing 1 1/2-length success, with Jubiloso a length behind in third.

He ran a stinker in the Guineas and he decided to close his stable for a month, as he knew his horses weren=t right and it paid dividends. We were hoping and we weren=t so sure if we were out of the woods, but he put in a tremendous performance and I was always in control. He=s back to his best.@ Fogarty said of Forever In Dreams, AIt=s a great result for Phoenix with the first and second. Con [Marnane] bred her and she won twice in France for Matthieu Palussiere and came over here to be beaten less than two lengths in the Queen Mary. I don=t know if she=ll stay with me--it=s up to the ladies, but I=d love to keep her.@ Amer Abdulaziz Salman, chief executive of Phoenix Thoroughbreds, added, ATo finish first and second in a Group 1 at Ascot is amazing. I=m more excited about the ladies finishing second, I think--the filly has given the boys a fright. We know the horse wasn=t himself in the Guineas and he had a bit of an issue. We were not sure whether to run him or not, but we took the risk--we are gamblers as well. Coming here, we were sure the horse was fit and ready to run. The trainer was happy and in his last piece of work he breezed well. He is a champion and a Group 1 winner in the past. He is a stallion in the making and is by a good stallion as well. If you look at him and his confirmation, he is a very beautiful horse in the ring. He will definitely be a future stallion for Phoenix.@ Bruce Raymond, racing manager for Jaber Abdullah, said of Hello Youmzain, AHe=s a good horse. We feel he=s going to mature again. We won=t over-race him this year. I think it=s possible he=ll go for Group 1 races like the [Sept. 7] Haydock Sprint and maybe something in France. He=s better on soft ground. He just wants taking care of. Next year I think he=ll be mature and be a very good horse.@ Aidan O=Brien was not disheartened with the effort of Ten Sovereigns and commented, AWe=re delighted with his run first time back at six since running in the 2000 Guineas. I think we=ll keep him at this trip and see how he is.
