LADY AURELIA will not tackle the Nunthorpe this year revealed trainer Wesley Ward.
The filly, who bolted up in the Queen Mary on Wednesday could have taken the same route Ward’s Acapulco took last year, but he has decided against it.
Bookmakers were handing out quotes of around even-money for the Nunthorpe.
Ward said: “Her eyes are bright, her ears are pricked and she ate up everything.
“We tried to win the Nunthorpe with a two-year-old filly last year and even getting all the weight, Acapulco couldn’t do it.
“Acapulco is a big filly, Lady Aurelia is small. At this stage, I’d prefer to keep her against her own age group.
“We’ll go down a more conventional route, as conventional as it can be for an American in Europe, and take her to the Prix Morny at Deauville, like we did with No Nay Never.”
