Christophe Lemaire is confident of Natagora's chances in the 1000 Guineas, telling the Racing Post: "Matagora showed she was the best filly last year and this year she made a very good reappearance over seven furlongs, a trip she never ran over last year.

"The way she ran was very good, because she was relaxed and behind another horse. She quickened very well to make the difference over the last one and a half furlongs.
