FRIMA, who is by Frankel, has been staying on strongly in both starts over shorter and can enhance her paddock value over this more suitable trip. Flaming Sea is the only four-year-old in the race but she's changed stables after showing plenty of promise in the autumn. Lady Nathaniel is another who should be suited by stepping up in trip though she'll need to do better but Pearl Of The West stayed on powerfully over slightly shorter at Limerick where French Mix was behind. Kozy cost 130,000 euros and is a half-sister to five winners so she's one to keep an eye on.
