Beautiful Romance is after G1 success in the £550,000 QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes over a mile and a half at Ascot, UK, on Saturday, October 17.

The three-year-old New Approach filly, who is trained by Saeed bin Suroor, faded to fifth behind Treve on her first appearance at G1 level in the Qatar Prix Vermeille over the same distance at Longchamp, France, on September 13.

Beautiful Romance stormed to an impressive four and a half length victory in a Listed Windsor contest over half a furlong shorter on August 29.

She failed to get competitive in the 10-furlong G3 Prix de Psyche at Deauville, France, on August 1 but ran a better race on her only other start of the year when third in the seven-furlong Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket on April 15.

Saeed bin Suroor reported: "Beautiful Romance needs cut in the ground to show her best and any rain would help her chances.

"She was very impressive on good to soft ground at Windsor and she should run well, providing the going is not too quick."

Beautiful Romance, the mount of James Doyle, takes on 11 rivals including Darley Irish Oaks and Prix de l'Opera winner Covert Love and Ladbrokes St Leger scorer Simple Verse plus Candarliya and Sea Calisi, who were second and third in the Qatar Prix Vermeille.
