By Frankel out of a Listed-placed 7f 2yo winner who is half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Awtaad; 8-15 for maiden at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) 17 days ago and it was never in any doubt as she came from off the pace and strode clear; had only five rivals but the runner-up has lots of fair form; that makes this filly a smart prospect.

Ran out an easy winner on her debut at Haydock in May (1m2f, good to firm) and created a huge impression when sauntering clear of six rivals in a Listed event at Goodwood in June (1m2f, good to firm); supplemented for the Ribblesdale and sent off an odds-on favourite but she didn't look to get home over 1m4f having made a big move from the back of the field from 4f out (raced wide into the home straight); the Goodwood promise isn't easily forgotten and she's a fascinating contender despite a penalty and forecast slower ground than she's tackled thus far.

Won on debut at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) last month and also did it easily in Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago; subsequently supplemented for this race at a cost of £13,150; there can be optimism she will be fine at today's longer trip and this exciting Frankel filly holds leading claims for top stable that has won four of the last six runnings.

Dam sister to smart middle-distance performer Madame Chiang; made an impressive winning debut at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in November; 14-1 for Group 3 Musidora at York (1m2f, good) last month and failed to settle in the first 3f, never posing a serious threat and running out of steam from over 1f out; hooded today and could prove capable of a fair bit better.

Form & Verdict
All three races have been at Newmarket, winning her only 2yo start (7f, good) and second of nine in Listed race on reappearance (1m2f, soft) two weeks ago; all looked rosy after those two runs but she flopped when 2-5 for a 1m4f novice (good) three weeks ago and it's hard to blame the trip given her stout pedigree; big player if first-time tongue-tie sees a return to form.

Came into her own once encountering the mud last term, galloping on relentlessly with front-running rides to win Group 2s over about 1m6f at Glorious Goodwood (by wide margin) and Doncaster (this race); flopped on reappearance this May, however, and although she returned from wind surgery with a satisfactory run (considering the good to firm ground) last month, she surely needs an absolute downpour.

285,000gns yearling; plenty of promise at Newbury (7f) on debut and her never-dangerous fourth of six in novice at Ascot (1m, again good; hooded) early last month was a marked step forward; plenty to find on form but pedigree and performance suggest this longer trip will suit her well.

Form & Verdict
Career started with two wins (AW/good); limitations were seemingly exposed in three Group races (albeit with two on soft) and she produced probably her worst form when seventh of eight in a Listed race at Newmarket on latest outing; all those six races were over 7f and it's far from clear whether this extra 3f will help her return to her best.

Usually slowly away but she made virtually all when 50-1 winner of a Listed race at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) five weeks ago, scoring in clearcut style from Rainbows Edge; that was a huge career best but, under a 3lb penalty, she probably needs better still to follow up.

Form & Verdict
Best efforts on softer than good, unraced on good to firm; won a novice event at Haydock as 2yo and close, front-running second in handicap there (again 1m) on latest start was her best form; has seen more action than most of these and therefore needs to find extra from somewhere, with this step up from 1m looking of doubtful benefit on pedigree.
