Tempted will run the favourite in the Golden Rose this Saturday and she’ll be attempting to become the first filly to win since the race became Group I in 2009.

It was still Group II when Forensics won it in 2008, having won the Golden Slipper in her previous campaign and since then there have been 28 fillies have a crack.

Three started favourite and one of those came the closest with In Secret in 2022 beaten only a head by Jacquinot.

So the task can’t be under-estimated for Tempted who came to favouritism after beating six of her eight Golden Rose rivals convincingly in the Run To The Rose when resuming.
