Julia Feilden insists Emma's Gift will relish the six-furlong trip in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot on Friday.

The Newmarket handler feels a step up in distance will be beneficial for the two-year-old filly, who won well at Bath in May over five furlongs.

She said: "Since Bath, Emma's Gift has really matured and come on. She has a good draw at Ascot and I am confident the trip will suit her."

The filly will be partnered by her regular jockey Jimmy Quinn and Feilden added: "Jimmy (Quinn) knows how to ride her and they get on well. The form has worked in her favour and anything at Ascot will be a bonus for her."
