THE Group 2 Sky Bet Lowther Stakes for two-year-old fillies seemed to be all about daughters of the incomparable Frankel.The unbeaten Fair Eva, winner of the Princess Margaret at Ascot and probably Roger Charlton’s best young filly for a good few years, was made 4/11 favourite but could finish only third behind Richard Fahey’s Queen Kindly. She is also by the superstar who is making such a name for himself as a sire as well as a racehorse.

O’Brien’s Roly Poly was trying to concede the pair 3lb and emerges with plenty of credit after establishing a slight lead and holding on until just inside the final furlong. Queen Kindly and Jamie Spencer quickened up to account for him by three-parts of a length, with Fair Eva the same distance away after holding every chance. With Nations Alexander over four lengths adrift in fourth, and a winning time 0.16s fast, this looks very smart form indeed. Unfortunately Michael O’Callaghan’s Magical Fire suffered a career-ending injury, the daughter of Dragon Prince ran below par coming home last of the eight runners.
