GISELLES THUNDER achieved a rating of 99 after being headed close home by Frenetic in a Listed contest over the course and distance. That's the best form on view and she receives the fillies' allowance from Charmed, who gained reward for some excellent runs when scoring easily last month. Queens Carriage was around five lengths behind the selection in the Listed contest in October but looked in very good form over 6f last month while a line through Frenetic gives Blue Cabochon a chance of some prize money with her maiden allowance and Andrew Slattery's claim to aid her cause.
