Form & Verdict
Frankel filly has tons of experience compared to these rivals, notably chasing home smart types both here and at the Curragh and best effort yet when tried in cheekpieces in Group 3 Weld Park Stakes at former venue last month, only losing second final strides under a prominent ride on soft; the one to beat.

Ran seven times at two, opening her account on final start, when odds-on in a 7f maiden at Leopardstown; best effort when second to top-class stablemate Diamond Necklace (unbeaten Prix Marcel Boussac winner) in a 7f Curragh conditions event; possible stamina doubt, and Ryan Moore prefers the lower-rated, less exposed Ice Dancer.

Frankel filly remains a maiden after five starts; placed in maidens at Leopardstown (1m, good) in July and over this C&D in August; well held by Kensington Lane in a 7f Gowran maiden on latest; looks to be up against it on all known form but could improve for softer ground.

Has progressed since tackling handicaps; 0.5l win off 58 at Dundalk in March (1m) followed by a 2.25l win at the same venue in April off 65; up another 9lb now and this is a deeper race; has to prove she is effective on turf and at this longer trip (mixed messages in pedigree).
