Much improved when running away with Epsom Oaks (good-to-soft) in June but unable to follow up later in month on faster ground in Pretty Polly over today's C&D, found to be coughing after finishing fourth (Red Letter third), having travelled well into race but weakening late; had time off since and easier ground sure to suit.

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.

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.

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.
