Frankel filly is first foal of a Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner; highly encouraging debut when runner-up behind stablemate and now 112-rated Bedtime Story at Leopardstown (7.5f, good) in June; holds multiple Group 1 entries including bet365 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket this month; should take all the beating.

By Frankel out of US 1m Grade 1 winner; won a maiden at the Curragh before close third to Whirl in Group 3 there (1m, soft) later in October; Lingfield Oaks Trial (11.6f, good to firm) was almost a non-event in terms of the opposition and she was pushed/nudged out to go 9l clear in the last 2f, having been held up last of three in a first-time hood (retained); while that was a satisfactory comeback, and she's reported to have improved a lot at home since, this race will demand a great deal more.
