Has big-race entries; Frankel close relation to multiple Group 1-winning fillies Magical (up to 1m4f) and Rhododendron (up to 1m2f); well held on debut but second favourite for a maiden at Galway (7f, soft to heavy) later in October and eventually got the better of an odds-on stablemate who's not been seen since; cheekpieces go on and he's presumably the stable second string, but surely set for big improvement over middle distances this term.
