In depth
Verdict
Demanding Lilley will likely do better as a three-year-old and Heartfullofstars has the benefit of experience, keeping on over 7f at Newmarket having raced up with the pace throughout. Ridden aggressively, FRANCOPHONE stretched clear of more experienced rivals at Ayr and should prove better than the bare form suggests. Kitty Furnival cost €180,000 as a yearling so should have a future while Frankelian is a half-sister to a 1m2f winner so is also worth a second look.
