Race preview
The lightly-raced RED LETTER should appreciate this easier assignment having finished down the field in the 1000 Guineas on her reappearance. Ger Lyons' daughter of Frankel was sent off one of the market leaders for the first Classic of the season, so must have clearly been working well at home. Almost certainly better than that bare form suggests, she can prove it here. Recent Killarney winner Queen Of Thunder looks best of the older generation. That form received a boost subsequently when the runner-up won her maiden next time out. Barnavara is another three-year-old with leading claims in this tight-knit Listed contest.
