Cachet is set to carry the colours of Highclere Thoroughbred Racing at the Breeders' Cup next month.

Although George Boughey's juvenile has managed just one win from seven starts, she brings strong placed form to the table, having finished second in the Rockfel and third in the Fillies' Mile on her last two starts.

Next on the agenda for the daughter of Aclaim is the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar, with connections booking leading American jockey Luis Saez for the ride.

"We plan on running Cachet in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf," said Highclere's managing director Harry Herbert.

"She's rated up there now and has been placed in a Group One. We've also booked Luis Saez to ride her, which is very exciting because he's a top-three rider in the States and red-hot at the moment.

"We (Highclere) have had Lake Coniston and Petrushka and Telescope run at the Breeders' Cup before, so we've had some excitement. Telescope finished fourth in the Breeders' Cup Turf."

Cachet  will not lack support on her travels either.

"Some owners are certainly making plans to travel, which is exciting," added Herbert.

"It's been a long season for her and it's getting colder here now, but she seems in great form – and so long as George is happy with her, we'll throw our hat in the ring."
