Form & Verdict
Frankel filly a 1,500,000gns yearling and looked a fine prospect when landing the odds on Curragh debut over this trip last month, making all and powering away under hands and heels in final furlong; yard has had some high-class winners of this race in recent years and she looks potentially another.

Three wins from five starts at two, including a 7f Group 3 at this venue and Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket; looked in need of further when staying on for a close-up fifth in the 1,000 Guineas on seasonal debut; disappointing favourite for the Oaks, seemingly a combination of failure to handle the track and lack of stamina; back to the drawing-board at 1m now.

Frankel filly who cost 1,500,000gns as a yearling; three wins from five starts as a 2yo culminated in Group 1 Fillies' Mile success at Newmarket (soft) where she got up close home after trouble in running; 5-1 for the 1,000 Guineas there (good) on reappearance and made steady inroads from off the pace to go down by a length in fifth; seemed to be crying out for a longer trip in those 1m races and tops this field on those two pieces of form.

320,000euros Night Of Thunder filly made eyecatching debut in 6f Fairyhouse maiden 15 days ago, coming from way off the pace to finish third; looked to be crying out for this step up in trip and could well have more improvement in her than most.
