Verdict

FRANKLY DARLING was beaten a length in testing ground at Yarmouth on last year’s debut and this longer trip will suit judged on her winning relatives. She may prove the one to side with though Thibaan is a half-brother to a Listed winner over today’s distance in France and is another expected to improve having finished fourth over a mile at Kempton on his introduction. Flames Of York showed some ability when placed over 7f here last summer while Dream With Me is a half-brother to the smart Rain Goddess and Rocket Rod can count a Group 2 winner among his winning relatives.
