Fond Words races on turf for the first time and steps up to Group Three company in the seven-furlong Prix Imprudence at Maisons-Laffitte, France, on Thursday, April 2.
The three-year-old filly, trained by Henri-Alex Pantall, has made four appearances on Polytrack including when flying home to win by a nose in the Listed Prix Ronde De Nuit over six and a half furlongs at Chantilly on March 12.
She started her career with three outings at Cagnes-sur-Mer including another nose success on debut in a mile contest for newcomers on January 14.
Mickael Barzalona, who partnered Fond Words to victory in the Prix Ronde De Nuit, rides the daughter of Shamardal again.
Lisa-Jane Graffard of Godolphin commented: "Fond Words won nicely at Chantilly and came out of that race very well.
"This was the logical next step after she won her Listed race, although she has a bit to find with some of the other fillies.
"She has a fitness edge and plenty of speed, which will help as well."It's an open race and she deserves to take her chance."
Fond Words opposes 13 fillies including Group One Total Prix Marcel Boussac runner-up Ervedya, Group Three winners Fontanelice, Ameenah and Queen Bee plus La Berma and Night Of Light, who have both finished second in Group Three company.
