SERIOUS Attitude skilfully atoned for her disappointing effort in the 1000 Guineas with an uplifting triumph in the Cuisine De France Summer Stakes at York.

Rae Guest’s filly won the Group One Cheveley Park Stakes as a juvenile, but blatantly failed to stay a mile in the Newmarket Classic.

Returned to the sprinting ranks on the Knavesmire, redemption was as swift as it was decisive.

Lesson In Humility, third in the Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot, went for the jugular two furlongs out but Serious Attitude was sighted making rapid progress on her outside.

A blockbuster tussle ensued, but Eddie Ahern’s mount showed a compelling flash of quality at the death to score by a head in receipt of 8lb.

The laudable Look Busy encountered a rather fractious passage to the line, but still finished third, a further three and three-quarter lengths adrift.

Guest’s daughter of Mtoto will now head to France in August for another crack at the top table.

‘‘We always knew she was a good horse but it’s difficult coming back as a three-yearold sprinter taking on older horses,’’ said the Newmarketbased handler.

‘‘We gave her a break after the Guineas, so she should come on a lot for that.

‘‘We’ll keep her sprinting now. Eddie (Ahern) says she’ll get seven furlongs, but she’s probably best over a stiff six.

‘‘We’ll now look at the Prix Maurice de Gheest (at Deauville) in August. That’s six and a half furlongs, so it looks about right.

‘‘She’s definitely improving.’’ Godolphin also served notice of their resurrection when Emirates Dream won the Cakemark EBF Maiden Stakes.

With Kite Wood spearheading a three-win haul on Thursday, Sheikh Mohammed’s expensively-assembled operation look to have finally hit their stride after a troubling campaign.

Trainer Saeed bin Suroor will also be buoyed by the display of newcomer Emirates Dream, who showed bags of determination to outflank Laureldean Spirit by a neck.

Godolphin’s travelling head girl, Claire Sparkes, said: ‘‘Things are going well as we’ve hit some form.

‘‘I was really pleased with Kite Wood winning the Bahrain Stakes (at Newmarket) – that will have done him a lot of good.’’ Of Emirates Dream, the 2- 1 favourite, Sparkes added: ‘‘He’s a big, weak horse but he will come on a lot for that.’’ Paul Midgley’s portends of doom about Smarty Socks’ alleged bad draw proved misguided in the Caravan Chairman’s Charity Stakes.

Midgley was adamant the five-year-old had little chance from stall 16 in the seven-furlong affair.

Betting vibes also suggested a similarly bleak outcome as Smarty Socks went off at 33-1 under Paul Pickard.

Despite his chunky starting price, the chestnut gelding showed a likeable turn of foot on the stands rail to defeat Happy Anniversary by a cosy length and a half.

‘‘I didn’t think we had a chance from that draw,’’ accepted Midgley, who is based at Westow near York.
