Integral is on target for the Kingdom Of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket on October 4.
The Sir Michael Stoute-trained filly has not been seen since finishing only third of four in a messy renewal of the Prix Rothschild at Deauville.
Before that, however, she had won the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot and beat Rizeena in the Falmouth Stakes.
She suffered a minor setback after her trip to France, but is now back in full training.
Chris Richardson, managing director of owners Cheveley Park Stud, said: "She'll run in the Sun Chariot.
"She got a bruised foot in her race in France but had a bit of time off and is in good form. All being well, she'll stay in training."

Jessica Harrington is excited to be taking Jack Naylor over to France next weekend for the Prix Marcel Boussac.
The bargain-buy filly has been one of the success stories of the summer in Ireland, winning three of her five starts, and her form has been continuously franked.
She beat subsequent May Hill winner Agnes Stewart in the Silver Flash Stakes and then carried a 5lb penalty to victory in a Listed race at the Curragh.
"The plan is still to take her to France next weekend," said Harrington of the 10,500-euro buy.
"Every single bit of her form has worked out well.
"Whether she's the best filly in Ireland is not for me to say and nobody else will because she is trained by me! All I know is that she is certainly one of the best. I won't worry about it, though.
"To win a Listed race with a 5lb penalty really takes some doing, but she was always going to win.
"We'll go to France and she how she gets on."

Kevin returned to his crossbar hitting ways at Gowran Park last week, with his main selection Russian Maria Star being punted from a best price 11 all the way into a Betfair SP of 5.17 prior to finishing second. He will be looking to gain compensation with two selections at the Curragh this afternoon...
Looking Back
We made an unwelcome return to Crossbar Central last Sunday, but as always, there was plenty to be learned on the way to finding the woodwork.
The first selection of the day was Share A Secret in the first division of the mile handicap and it was a write off. The one thing this filly can be relied on to do is travel well through her races and when she came off the bridle fully three furlongs out, the game was quickly up. Her rider reported to the acting stewards that she lost her action and it is just one of those that has to be filed into the "that's racing" folder and be moved on from.
The second and main selection of the day was Russian Maria Star in the extended nine furlongs handicap. First of all, I'd like to quickly address an issue that a couple of readers raised with me on the day. At the time I submitted the column to Betfair, she was 11.0 in a place and generally 9.0 across the board, thus I put my recommended price in as 9.0 in the column.
The way this works is that after I submit the column, one of the hard-working gents at Betfair will subedit it and add in all the links to the relevant Betfair markets before publishing it online, which means that there is generally a gap of 20 minutes or so between when I submit it and when it appears online. Unfortunately, occasionally during this gap, the price of my selection can start to shorten and in this case, the 9.0 was pretty much all gone by the time the column was published. This is obviously unsatisfactory for everyone concerned, as I want the readers to have every chance of getting the best price possible, but when dealing with volatile morning markets, we are at the mercy of factors that we cannot control.
As it transpired, not only did there seem to be quite a bit of market support for Russian Maria Star just my column was published, the fact that my At The Races colleague and top tipster Gary O'Brien put her up as a selection an hour or so later meant that her price went into freefall, eventually settling at a Betfair SP of 5.17.
Once the runners got underway, I was stuck in two minds. All day at Gowran Park, for whatever reason, front runners and prominent racers seemed to be very much favoured, so I was hoping that Russian Maria Star would go forward from her good draw. That said, she was stepping up two-and-a-half furlongs in trip and the danger with that was that she could race too freely if asked to race too forwardly.
As it transpired, she started really well, but Ronan Whelan understandably wanted to let one or two go on to give him a lead, but once that decision is made, one is somewhat a hostage to the actions of others and she ended up getting slightly shuffled a little bit further back than ideal as a few of her rivals battled for the lead. That said, she took a strong hold, which made me glad that Ronan had got her into cover, but he had to be patient for a gap in the straight. It eventually came inside the two furlong pole and while she finished off well to finish second to Bogardus, that rival had enjoyed a relatively easy time on the favoured frontend and I felt he won snugly enough on the day.
Alas, another crossbar, but we'll keep firing shots and hopefully it won't be too long before one nails the target.
This Week's Plays
Today's action is at the Curragh and has been mentioned before, I prefer the less classy racing for my betting, but I hope I have found a couple of profitable angles for you.
The first race of interest is, surprise surprise, the most difficult sprint handicap of the week, the Manguard Plus Joe McGrath Handicap (16:40). Firstly, I am astounded that there is no British runner in the field. They have dominated sprint handicaps all season in Ireland and with this being a very good prize (€30,000 to the winner), it really is odd that no British trainer thought it worth travelling for.
Anyway, I have discussed it here before, but high draws are the key in sprints at the Curragh, especially on occasions such as this when the ground is on the quick side and the stalls are hard up against the stands rail. The fact that many of the fancied horses are drawn low makes this a tricky one to solve, but I have found one rather less sexy contender that should represent us well.
The Tom McCourt-trained My Good Brother is a pretty straightforward type of animal. He is fast, a proper five furlong horse, and the way he likes to express it is by going as fast as he can from the outset. He ran a stormer when third to two progressive British raiders off a 2lb higher mark in the Rockingham Handicap over this course and distance in July and his form since has been solid. His latest run can be forgiven as he just didn't get home over the six furlong trip having gone off fast. He has the perfect draw today and with the promising Donnacha O'Brien taking off 10lb (his claim was officially reduced to 7lb on Friday evening, but he is allowed claim 10lb here) he should make a bold bid from the front.
There are lots of options here. My recommendation is for a place bet, as he just seems rock solid to me albeit without being obviously well handicapped enough to win, but feel free to back him for the win and perhaps put up an in-running lay at a shorter price, as I could certainly see him travelling strongly and leading into the final furlong.
The other race of interest is, surprise surprise, the second hardest handicap of the week (!), the Shillelagh & District Hunt Branch Of The Irish Pony Club Handicap (17:45). Anticipating how strong the early pace in a race will be is always tricky, but with No Dominion, Smoker, Duchess Andorra, Equation Of Time and Millington all having made the running of late, I'm willing to take the chance that this will be run at an above-average pace. Such a scenario will play right into the hands of my selection, the Dave Marnane-trained Hi Emperor.
Affectionately known as The Moose due to his enormous 17 hands of bulk and rather simple mind, Hi Emperor has progressed really well this season, finding a way to win on each of the three occasions that things have dropped right for him, and there is every reason to believe that there could be more to come from him.
Strictly speaking, he is unproven at this mile trip, but one only has to watch the replay of his first try at that trip in a valuable handicap over this course and distance in June to believe that it will prove suitable, as he was unwinding what could well have been a significant challenge that day only to be badly checked just inside the two furlong pole prior to rallying well late on. Since then, he overcame a poor position and trouble in running to just get up in dramatic style over seven furlongs at the Curragh and his latest run at Dundalk can be forgiven as everything went wrong over a trip that is short of his best.
Having previously held the opinion that a strongly-run seven furlongs was likely to be his optimum trip, the more I watch his last few races, the more I think that a strongly-run mile with no headgear (he raced too freely in blinkers over this trip in June) could well bring the best out of him. He seems best suited by having space to go through the gears and unwind his challenge, so hopefully Fran Berry will be able to find the outside in the closing stages and he should make a bold bid.
Recommended Plays
Back My Good Brother 2pts to place @ 2.8 or better - Curragh 16:40 Back Hi Emperor 1pt to win @ 13.0 or better - Curragh 17:45

Ol' Man River oozed class as he boosted his Classic claims for next year with an emphatic victory in the Juddmonte Beresford Stakes at the Curragh.
A course and distance winner on his debut four weeks earlier, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt got into his stride in the straight as he made his challenge in the centre of the course.
Tombelaine made the running, but he dropped out of contention in the final furlong and was well beaten as Ol' Man River (1-2 favourite) quickened to the front under Joseph O'Brien just over a furlong out and was not extended to score nicely from Clonard Street.
His win made it a treble on the card for the trainer and jockey, while it was the 14th time O'Brien has saddled the winner of this race, equalling the late Vincent O'Brien's tally.
The winning rider said: "I probably got to the front a bit soon, but he was always going very easy. We went a nice, even gallop and it's lovely quick ground. He relaxed well and I didn't have a moment's worry."
O'Brien snr said: "He has loads of speed. He came on lovely from his first run and he learned going on the round mile today. He relaxed and coasted home.
"There were some solid form horses in there. We wanted to learn a lot from him today to move forward and we have.
"They went a nice even pace, without going crazy. He settled in nicely and relaxed and moved out in the straight and coasted home. You'd have to be happy with that - he's what you want in a good horse.
"He's open to all those races like the Dewhurst and the Racing Post Trophy, but it's not a must. He's had two runs now and I wouldn't worry if he didn't run again this year. He knows enough now, but the lads will decide."
RaceBets make Ol' Man River their 8-1 second-favourite for the Investec Derby in an ante-post market that O'Brien dominates.
Spokesman Joseph Burke said: "In 2015 Aidan will be seeking to equal another of Vincent O'Brien's hauls, that of six Epsom Derby winners, and that appears a formality with Ballydoyle currently housing the first five in the market, headed by 7-1 favourite John F Kennedy."
Coral are slightly bigger at 10-1, and the firm's David Stevens said: "Aidan O'Brien has trained the last three Investec Derby winners, and with Ol' Man River joining his stablemates John F Kennedy, Highland Reel and Gleneagles at the head of betting, at this stage it's short odds the Ballydoyle maestro will make it four in a row."

Qualify boosted the form of the Moyglare Stud Stakes won by Cursory Glance by taking the Group Three CL & MF Weld Park Stakes at the Curragh.
Joseph O'Brien delivered his father Aidan's filly, who finished sixth in the Moyglare, with a sweeping run down the outside from off the pace to lead at the furlong pole.
She galloped on strongly to beat Lola Beaux tidily, with the 10-11 favourite Stellar Glow third.
The winning trainer is now eyeing a crack at the Dubai Fillies' Mile at Newmarket on October 17.
He said of his 9-4 scorer: "We think she's a very smart filly. She just wanted to be pulled back as she's a filly with a lot of speed.
"We have been riding her wrong. You can put her to sleep and she has a massive stride and can get there quickly.
"She's a Fastnet Rock and loves that ground, and could go for the Fillies' Mile if the ground stays good."
O'Brien quickly doubled up when The Great War bounced back to form in the Listed Anglesey Lodge Equine Hospital Blenheim Stakes.
The War Front colt had disappointed on his last four runs after winning his first two starts, but had no difficulty resuming winning ways after being sent off the 10-11 favourite in the hands of Joseph O'Brien.
After stablemate As Good As Gold set a good gallop, The Great War kicked on a furlong and a half out and quickly pulled clear to land a decisive victory by three and a half lengths from market rival Tamadhor.
O'Brien snr revealed the juvenile could be supplemented for the Qatar Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp next weekend.
The Ballydoyle handler said: "He's a fast horse who likes fast ground, and the key is a strong early tempo.
"There is a chance he could be supplemented for the Abbaye. We'll see how he comes out of this, and it looks like the ground will be good."
RaceBets and Boylesports gave The Great War a quote of 20-1 for the French sprint.

Richard Hannon stressed the brilliant Tiggy Wiggy "is by no means certain" to run in the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp next Sunday. The Group One five-furlong dash, for which she would need to be supplemented, was the race on everyone's lips after the speedy juvenile made it six wins from eight races in the Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday. While the Marlborough trainer is keen on taking her to Paris, there a lot of things to consider, especially the well-being of the filly. "Tiggy Wiggy has come back fine and she may yet be heading for Paris, but I would like to stress that it is by no means certain," he told www.richardhannonracing.co.uk. "There are so many key factors to consider - would it be one race too many, will it come too quick and is it worth taking a chance when the draw out there is so important, not to mention the vital fact that either Richard Hughes rides at 2lb overweight or we look for a new jockey? "The owners would love to run in France and so would we, but the welfare of Tiggy Wiggy comes first, and we will see how she is in a couple of days before making a decision as to whether to supplement." Hughes also has the best interests of the filly at heart and would not be too upset if another jockey rode Tiggy Wiggy in the Abbaye because he couldn't do the weight. "If she was fine to run, don't worry about me, I'll get over it," the champion jockey told At The Races. "I think Richard is going to monitor her and unless he's 120 per cent happy he wouldn't do it to her and send her. The nearest I could do to the weight is 8st 6lb, but that is neither here nor there." Looking ahead to next year, Hughes feels Tiggy Wiggy deserves the chance to see if she can stay the mile of the Qipco 1000 Guineas. "We probably have to let her have a go at the Guineas. We all have a fair idea that she probably wouldn't stay, but it would be a terrible shame not to at least give her a go," he said. "And if she was to get a mile, there is nothing out there that would beat her. "The plan would probably be something like the Fred Darling next spring and if she won that, let her take her chance. Why not? You've nothing to lose. You can always come back in trip."

Bronze Angel could have another crack at Group Three honours in the Darley Stakes at Newmarket next month thanks to winning the Betfred Cambridgeshire for a second time on Saturday.
A strong gallop over nine furlongs on fast ground are the key elements for Bronze Angel, who thrust his trainer Marcus Tregoning back into the limelight when repeating his victory of 2012 in the big autumn handicap.
He tried to follow up his first Cambridgeshire success in the Darley Stakes over the same course and distance two years ago, but things were not quite in his favour and he could only finish fifth behind Mull Of Killough.
"It's just a matter of getting everything right," Tregoning told At The Races.
"We didn't have to claim off him, as it turned out, but I thought the 5lb was a good advantage. That's why Louis (Steward) took the ride.
"It's not very good for Martin (Dwyer), who had ridden him well at York, but I'm sure he will understand. It's just the way it had to be.
"On the Friday of Champions weekend, there's a Group Three (Darley Stakes), but maybe the ground might not be right by then. I suppose I'll probably have to have a go at something like that.
"He's a top-class handicapper, but maybe Group races might be too much for him. He may have a shot at it, but only if the ground is right.
"The mile and one furlong is a key factor. He loves big fields and quite likes a scrum. A strong gallop is really what he wants."

Willie McCreery hopes stable star Fiesolana can sign off her European career with another win at the highest level in the Prix de la Foret at Longchamp next Sunday.
McCreery landed a first Group One win when the five-year-old swooped fast and late to beat Rizeena in the Matron Stakes.
Bought by Flaxman Stables, the breeding operation of the Niarchos family, after winning a Group Two at Newmarket last year, she is now an extremely valuable commodity.
Her run in France will be Fiesolana's last outing in Europe, though a crack at the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf has not been ruled out as she gained automatic qualification for that race after her Matron success on Irish Champions Weekend.
"The weather looks set fair over there (Longchamp) and the pressure is off now as we've won a Group One," said McCreery.
"Seven furlongs is her perfect trip as it doesn't matter what the ground is like at that trip, over the mile it just helps her stay if the ground is better.
"She was still in front in the Maurice de Gheest over six and a half well inside the final furlong so she's not short of pace.
"I'd say Gordon Lord Byron could be the one to beat and, possibly, Thawaany, who was just in front of us at Deauville.
"She was bought as a Group Two winner to go to stud but the owners took a chance keeping her in training and it paid off as she's now a Group One winner.
"The Breeders' Cup is still being talked about as she got an automatic entry in the 10-furlong race.
"The two turns and fast ground might be in her favour, so we'll see."

Mubtaghaa is likely to drop back in trip after the experiment in trying to get him to stay seven furlongs did not quite work out at Newmarket on Thursday.
The William Haggas-trained colt was sent off 3-1 favourite to follow up his victory in a valuable sales race at York last month, but had to settle for third place behind Maftool in the Somerville Tattersall Stakes.
Mubtaghaa appeared not to take too kindly to Paul Hanagan's tactics of trying to get him to settle in behind in the early stages.
"As Paul said, with Mubtaghaa we tried to get him to stay the trip and rode him accordingly," said Angus Gold, racing manager to owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum.
"At York, Silvestre (de Sousa) let him do his own thing and travel up there right behind the leaders.
"As Paul said, he probably disappointed him by trying to organise him.
"He probably is a six-furlong horse and we were riding him to get the seven, just to see.
"We wanted to run him in the Mill Reef, but the ground had gone.
"He didn't stay, but he was the first horse off the bridle, which is unusual, and it probably didn't suit him being taken back.
"He was a bit keen, Paul took him back to try to settle him and it probably wasn't the way to ride him.
"I don't know yet if he will run again this year but he needs top of the ground, which is why he ran on Thursday.
"It's less likely he's going to get his ground now."
Sheikh Hamdan also supplied the runner-up in that race, Markaz, trained by Barry Hills.
"Markaz ran well. He won't run again this season," said Gold.

Crabbie's Grand National hero Pineau De Re is on course to return to action before the end of the year.
Trainer Dr Richard Newland reports that the 11-year-old is to shortly resume full training after having had plenty of road work during the summer.
"He's coming back into the main yard next week, all being well," said the Worcester handler.
"He's done lots of road work and will be ready to get cantering.
"We should get him back on the track this side of Christmas, hopefully, over hurdles."

Evan Williams is on a "fact-finding mission" when he gives Court Minstrel his debut over fences in the South West Racing Club Novices' Chase at Newton Abbot on Monday.
Court Minstrel has proved himself a smart hurdler, finishing first and second in the last two renewals of the Scottish Champion Hurdle, as well as winning at Aintree's Grand National meeting in April.
Williams wants to find out sooner rather than later if the seven-year-old can do the business over bigger obstacles.
"He had a hell of a good spring and we just thought we'd try a fence and see how we get on," said the Llancarfan trainer.
"We haven't done an awful lot this autumn, but we did a fair bit of schooling with him in the spring.
"He's not very big - you wouldn't say he looked a natural chaser - but we thought we'd try it now and see if he is going to take to it.
"We need to find out if we are going to persevere with chasing. I couldn't pretend he was a big chasing type or that his future lies over fences, I just don't know.
"We thought we'd give him a run over fences and see if it's worth persevering with. It's a fact-finding mission, really."
Court Minstrel is taken on by three opponents, headed by Paul Nicholls' French-bred four-year-old Keltus.
The Chris Down-trained Ladies Dancing and Mark Gillard's No No Cardinal complete the quartet.

Champion Court is set to make his seasonal debut at Cheltenham next month after connections decided not to take him to Market Rasen on Saturday.
Condicote trainer Martin Keighley will consider two valuable handicaps chases for the nine-year-old at the Showcase meeting. He has been a regular at his local track and has won three of his 12 starts there.
The classy performer is ready to return to action, which was why he was given an entry in the 888sport Handicap Chase at the Lincolnshire venue, where he would have carried top weight.
"He's going to wait another three weeks for the first meeting at Cheltenham," said Keighley.
"There are two good handicap chases - a two-mile-four and a three-miler. I'll enter him in both and have a look.
"He's fantastic and all ready to go, which is why we gave him the Market Rasen entry, but we just decided we'd have been up against those summer horses - it was their Gold Cup."

Elm Park relished every yard of the mile trip to claim the Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket.
Winner of two starts since finishing third on his debut, the Andrew Balding-trained colt looked to be one of the first of the market principals to be feeling the pinch as Andrea Atzeni was at work quite a way from home.
The 5-4 favourite Nafaqa mastered long-time leader Salateen up front as they began to meet the rising ground, but just as it looked like he would go on to take the Group Two prize, the 11-4 winner finished with a real rattle on the far side, scoring by a length.
Atzeni said: "I always thought I was going to get there. The ground is quick enough for him, he probably wants better ground, which is why he came off the bridle quite early I think.
"He stumbled coming out of the stalls, but he travelled nicely. He started racing quite a long way out, but he came home really well. He's a nice horse. This was the first time I had sat on him, but I know Andrew liked him a lot."
Qatar Racing recently purchased a significant interest in the son of Phoenix Reach, who was supplemented at a cost of £10,000.
Balding said: "I was a bit worried at halfway as I wasn't sure he was liking the ground, I think it was quick enough for him. It's nice to have a good horse. My mother bred him, and I think Phoenix Reach is an underrated stallion.
"He's in the Racing Post Trophy - that will be up to Sheikh Fahad and the others, but I'd have said that as long as he's OK, there was no reason why not.
"Royal Lodge winners deserve consideration for the Derby, whether it's the French or the English we'll see, but there's a lot of water to go under the bridge before then."
Barry Hills said of Nafaqa: "I am not disappointed at all - he was just beaten by a better horse. He's a nice horse for next year and will stay further."
Richard Hills, assistant racing manager to Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum, added: "Paul (Hanagan) said a faster pace would have suited, but there's no real excuses. It's been a long year, but we were beaten fair and square."
Kevin Ryan was happy with the performance of Salateen in third. He said: "The ground was probably just a bit lively for him on the day, but you can't take anything away from the winner - he looks a big baby and it was a great performance.
"Our horse is going to improve a lot over the winter and is definitely going to be a better horse with juice in the ground. We'll put him away now and let him grow and mature."
Paddy Power gave Elm Park a 33-1 quote for the Epsom Derby next year.

Tony Martin, trainer: TED VEALE " “I’m happy with him. He seems well since Listowel, where he ran well behind Rebel Fitz. He can’t do anymore than win and he did that at Galway. Hopefully he can do the same again.” " Ted Veale 4:05 Roscommon

16:40 Monday 29th September Racing Tips - 29/09/2014
There has been some solid support for Frozen Over at Newton Abbot today, interesting given he is a somewhat exposed sort in a race with a couple of handicap debutants and a very progressive 4 year old in Marju's Quest. Still only 6, Frozen Over looks increasingly well treated but has to be taken on at his current odds (5/1). Laser Blazer, comfortable winner of a Stratford maiden in July, should be clear favourite for me and I'm surprised he's not shorter than 7/2. He ran in some decent novice hurdles towards the latter end of last year and finally got off the mark at Stratford on ground that may not have been ideal. A firm ground flat winner, he ran well at Brighton on penultimate start before a poor effort last time at Salisbury. He won his novice hurdle after being hammered on the flat though and that probably helps his price today. Newton Abbot 15.30 - Laser Blazer 1pt win
A really open handicap at Hamilton is worth a go at and Alexandrakollontai looks the most likely winner. She loves it here and won last time in a good time on the day with a little in hand. A likely strong pace will help but she is short enough and a couple at a price are worth noting. Rodrigo De Torres is 1 from 1 here and that win came out of stall 14. He made all that day though and may have some company up top here. Tellevoi went forward last time and you'd imagine Classy Anne will today so there is pace on out of the low numbers and that should suit old boy Rasaman out of stall 2. His form figures here read 1443323 and he's dropped to a winning mark. Drawn the wrong side at Ayr last time, he finished just over a length behind Bajan Bear and has a 4lb pull this afternoon with that runner but is over 3 times the price at 16/1. A winner over 7 on quick ground, he should get the decent pace he requires and has been underestimated. Hamilton 16.40 - Rasaman 1pt e/w
