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 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.

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.

Frankel filly cost 1,500,000gns as a yearling; has picked up valuable experience since 4l behind today's rival Little Sure Shot first time out at Leopardstown; well clear of the third when beaten by subsequent Group 3 winner Queen Of Hawaii at Leopardstown; second to a promising stablemate in a conditions race at the Curragh last time.

Frankel filly cost 1,500,000gns as a yearling; sister to 1m2f winner Propose (RPR 91), closely related to 1m winner History (inc 2yo/Group 3; 104); dam 6f-1m winner (inc 2yo/AW/US Grade 2; 110); recent Leopardstown second her best run yet but seemingly needs to find a lot more to play a major role here.
