AIDAN O’BRIEN believes all three of his runners have big chances in the bet365 Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket on Friday.
Happily landed a second Group 1 in France when beating the colts in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere, while Magical and September finished behind Happily in the Moyglare.
“Happily only ran last week, but she seems to be in good form,” said O’Brien.
“Obviously she hasn’t done much since, but seems in good form and we were absolutely delighted with her in France.
“Magical is in good form. She hasn’t done much but seems to be in good form since France.
“The three are all closely enough matched and Seamie’s (Heffernan) filly (September) was just in behind the other two at the Curragh.
“She’s had a longer break and seems in good form. She has run on soft and seems to handle any type of ground, but her better form has been on better.”
Magic Lily has just a maiden win to her name and is stepped up in class.

Trainer Charlie Appleby said: “Magic Lily is a filly we were confident would run a nice race on her first start, but she ended up winning very impressively and seeing out the one-mile trip really well.
“She did a nice piece of work on Saturday and that made our minds up to supplement her.”
