Form & Verdict

By Frankel out of dual Nunthorpe winner Mecca's Angel; unbeaten in three starts; too good for an odds-on stable companion on debut before impressive victory in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot; did not have to produce any fireworks to beat stablemate Exactly at Leopardstown; impossible to oppose.

Form & Verdict

Met trouble in running on Curragh debut in late June; a fortnight later showed the benefit of that experience to win a Leopardstown maiden, with stablemate Bubbling in fourth; ran as well as could have been expected when no match for Bedtime Story in a Group 3 last time.

Form & Verdict

Made a pleasing winning debut in a soft ground maiden over 6f at this venue in May; respectable efforts on better ground in Group races since then, but no reason why she should reverse last month's Leopardstown form with Bedtime Story and Exactly.
