Form & Verdict
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 ran seven times at two, opening her account on the final start when odds-on in a 7f maiden at Leopardstown; made a poor seasonal return in a Navan Group 3 (1m2f, good to yielding) in April when sixth of seven and beaten 12l; her official rating looks a little flattering.

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.
