Racing:Cheveley Park Stakes winner Indian Ink will be trained with a tilt at the Stan James 1000 Guineas in mind after her gallant success at Newmarket on Friday.

Richard Hannon's Indian Ridge filly followed up her success in the Watership Down Stud sales race at Ascot with her first victory at the highest level.

She may have run her last race this season but Richard Hannon junior, the trainer's son, is confident she will stay a mile as a three-year-old.

"She has come out of the race fine. She had a pick of grass this morning and she looks great," said Hannon junior.

"She has really been in the form of her life. She has just gone out and done her job.

"She has won two races in eight days and picked up nearly #250,000 in prize money. We are thrilled with her.

"We will now look towards the Guineas next year. I think she will stay a mile. She certainly wasn't stopping. The further she went, the better she went.

"She is now a Group One winner, it would be nice if she were to become a Guineas winner. The English 1000 Guineas would be the main target."

Indian Ink is 20-1 with sponsors Stan James for the fillies' Classic.
