Sumo Sam backed up her Goodwood stroll with a gutsy display in the Betfred Park Hill Fillies' Stakes at Doncaster.
The three-year-old made virtually all as a 25-1 chance in the Lillie Langtry Stakes last month, thriving on very testing conditions to come home an eight-and-a-half-length winner.
Sent off the 4-1 joint-favourite on Town Moor, Rossa Ryan was not allowed anywhere near as much rope as Tom Marquand was permitted at Goodwood.
She did hold a three-length advantage turning into the straight but looked a sitting duck as eventual third Lmay and runner-up One Evening put down strong challenges.
They could not quite get by Sumo Sam, though, as she prevailed by a length and a half in the colours carried to victory by Snurge in the 1990 St Leger for the Paul Cole stable, who now shares his licence with his son, Oliver.
Oliver Cole said: "She got a bit lonely out in front and then dug deep. She’s a very classy filly and very, very tough and very, very game.
"It was seriously impressive, wasn’t it? Two furlongs out you thought she might fall in a hole, but she was ultra-fit and in very good form and very fresh.
"That ground seems to be important to her. It’s not as soft as it was at Goodwood, but nothing much is.
"She’s potentially a Cup horse for the future. A couple of furlongs out you thought she was beaten and she pulled it out – it’s pretty incredible what she’s done. I’m taken aback really for words."
Regarding the future, he added: "She could potentially (go to Ascot), or there’s the Prix de Royallieu in France. She’s entered in that and you normally get soft ground, so that’s a definite possibility."
Karl Burke strengthened his grip on the juvenile fillies' division when Darnation (11-10F) ran out a ready winner of the Betfred May Hill Stakes.
Fallen Angel had already stated her case to be the leading two-year-old filly when impressing in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh last weekend.
Now it appears one of her biggest rivals for top honours may be based in the same Leyburn yard in North Yorkshire after Darnation’s price for next year’s 1000 Guineas was slashed.
Impressive in soft ground last time out in a Group Three at Goodwood, she had less questions to answer than most and when one of her market rivals, Ollie Sangster’s Romanova, got wound up going to post and ran keen in the early stages, there was one less to worry about.
See The Fire did follow Darnation through and looked a danger, but Clifford Lee was able to keep a bit up his sleeve and the favourite bounded three lengths clear.
"They didn’t go quick and when I asked her, she quickened up really well for a few strides and then galloped on towards the line," said Lee.
"She’s very good and I’d like to see her next year when she’s physically and mentally stronger.
"She handles that soft ground, she does stay very well and she does have a bit of boot about her as well, so we’ll see next year how we get on."
Burke was not on track, but said: "She’s a classy filly, on that ground she’s very good. We’ll have to see how she is on quicker ground but she’s tough, she stays and she’s just very good.
"She’s not in the Fillies’ Mile but she is in the Prix Marcel Boussac. I haven’t spoken to the owners but she’d be more likely to get her ground in France.
"Who knows about next year? She’s not the biggest in the world, but she should strengthen up even if she doesn’t grow much and if she bumps into soft ground she could be anything.
"On fast ground Fallen Angel would be in front of her, but ground is the key to this filly."
