In what is teed up to be a potentially stellar renewal of Newmarket's G1 Betfred 1,000 Guineas on Sunday, Godolphin's TDN Rising Star Desert Flower and Ballydoyle's TDN Rising Star Lake Victoria head a cast of ten. As in the 2,000 Guineas, Aidan O'Brien has just one contender in the unbeaten triple top-level-winning daughter of Frankel, having withdrawn his other three entries including Bedtime Story and Exactly, and her meeting with the Charlie Appleby-trained G1 Fillies' Mile-winning daughter of Night Of Thunder is one to relish.
Other notables include another Frankel special in Juddmonte's exciting Red Letter, Victorious Racing's G3 Fred Darling Stakes winner Duty First and Al Shaqab Racing's daughter of Too Darn Hot, Simmering who was second to Lake Victoria in last year's G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes. The latter's trainer Ollie Sangster also has Flight, a daughter of Siyouni, and the remainder are made up of Andrew Balding's Remaat, Jack Channon's Hey Boo, Ralph Beckett's Chantilly Lace and Saeed bin Suroor's Elwateen.
