By Frankel, dam Thundering Nights won this event in 2021; Group 3-placed on second start at two; beaten favourite in a maiden on seasonal debut before comfortable win in a Group 3 at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding) in April; confidently ridden before taking full command in the final furlong in the Oaks; will be hard to beat if the ground is not too quick.

By Frankel and dam won the 1m2f Group 1 Pretty Polly for connections; she's improved with each of her four starts and comfortably won the Group 3 Salsabil Stakes at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding) in April when upped in trip; has shown promise on heavy ground; powered clear in the final furlong last time, providing hope that she will stay 1m4f, and she's one to consider.

Cork 2yo maiden winner highly-tried in three runs this term when tried in pacemaking role, notably third behind Thundering On in 1m2f Navan Group 3; blinkers had no effect when down the field in Munster Oaks latest and now replaced by cheekpieces and upped in trip.

Won her maiden at the second attempt over 1m here in September (yielding); good front-running third of seven in a Navan Group 3 on seasonal return (1m2f, good to yielding); didn't build on that when 7.5l behind stablemate Cameo in Lingfield Listed company last month (11.5f, good to firm); no surprise to see her do better with blinkers now applied.

By Wootton Bassett out of a 9.5f Listed winner who's sister to Irish Guineas winner Roderic O'Connor; won a maiden at Cork (1m, yielding) last September and probably improved again when front-running third of seven in Group 3 at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding) two weeks ago; top trainer so often gets these 3yo middle-distance fillies to improve.

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.

Maiden winner here and Group 3-placed over 1m on heavy in the autumn; reportedly showed signs of coming into season when 26l behind on Group 3 seasonal return at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding); few apparent excuses when 18.5l behind in a Naas Listed contest last time (10.5f, good); holds an Irish Oaks entry, but Bloom is more appealing of trainer's two; blinkers on.

Winner and Group 3-placed over 1m on heavy in the autumn; forget about her run at Navan a fortnight ago (found to be showing signs of coming into season), but what was significant was that Moore picked her over 10lb higher-rated stablemate (who, admittedly, also ran poorly); pedigree implies she can improve at this trip and entered in both Oaks.
