Very exciting! The hugely impressive Lady Pauline is set to take in Royal @Ascot Trials day en route to the Royal meeting itself, as Wesley Ward talks UK plans for his star-studded team… https://t.co/cWzoUt26ch pic.twitter.com/TYpJxeNj0g

It is 10 years since Ward became the first American-based trainer to saddle a winner at the showpiece meeting, enjoying a double with Jealous Again and Strike The Tiger.
Wind the clock forward a decade, and the likeable handler sits on 10 winners – and has high hopes of adding to his tally in June.
He said: “We’ve had a wonderful 10 years, but we all know how tough Ascot is.
“We’ve had some amazing days. We’ve been very lucky to go with some really fast horses.
“Hopefully we have a few for this year, too.”
The aforementioned Lady Pauline is bred for the job as a half-sister to Ward’s dual Royal Ascot heroine Lady Aurelia.
The brilliant filly won the Queen Mary in 2016 and the King’s Stand 12 months later – and Lady Pauline looks a serious contender for the former contest, judged on her wide-margin debut victory on Friday.
Ward is seriously considering bringing his charge to Britain early to run on the newly-named Royal Ascot Trials Day on May 1.
He said: “I’ve put a plan out there to go to Ascot in May for the race we won with Create A Dream a few years ago. The Stonestreet Stables (owners) guys will talk it over and decide, but the reason they sent her to me was to race in (Royal) Ascot.
“I think she’s a very good filly. Her work has been really nice since the start, and I’m excited about her for sure.
“If she doesn’t run in the May race in Ascot I would say it’s doubtful she’ll run before Royal Ascot. There is one race for her in Churchill, but that is on the dirt and I’d be trying to steer them (owners) away from that if we want to go for the Queen Mary.”
