Twomey said: "I couldn't see her being beaten coming here, given the level she showed last year. I didn't enter her in the Arc for fun. I think she's top-class.
"We decided to start her campaign in the middle of the year with a view to the second half. She didn't have a run beforehand, but I don't think that matters with her."
On future targets, he added: "The Yorkshire Oaks is something we'd consider, the fillies' and mares' race at Ascot as well, and the Arc, Breeders' Cup and maybe even Hong Kong. That's the sort of line-up, but we were keen to start at home. We didn't want to travel for her first run."
