        Verdict

        All eyes here will be on Frankel's daughter FAIR EVA, who could hardly have been more impressive in the Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot where she beat today's rival Kilmah by four lengths. She's already favourite for next year's 1000 Guineas and it will be a shock if she's beaten. Kilmah had previously finished a close fourth behind Roly Poly, Magical Fire and Nations Alexander in the Cherry Hinton for which the winner picks up a Group 2 penalty. Mark Johnston's filly was beaten less than a length that day so the selection should have little difficulty beating the latter quartet. Queen Kindly, another of Frankel's offspring, finished a length and a half in front of Kilmah when a close third behind Brave Anna in the Albany Stakes and has since had a nice spin around Catterick so she could provide the main threat.
