Marcus Tregoning believes Fatanah should be able to handle the step up to a mile and a half in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot on Thursday.
Although being by Green Desert, she stayed a mile and a quarter well when opening her account in a Sandown maiden before going down by only a short head to Principal Role in a Listed race at Newbury.
"She had won her maiden at the start very easily at Sandown and is a progressive type I'm sure. We're stepping up another couple of furlongs and the family, in my opinion, stay really well. Hopefully that won't be too much of an issue," the Lambourn trainer told At The Races.
"She's terrific. She's a very-nice looking filly and we're very lucky to have fillies like this one and Rumoush. They are out of full sisters so are closely related. This filly, being by Green Desert, is big and strong and scopey.
"The jump up to Listed class at Newbury was a terrific run and she almost won it."
