Odds-on already for Frankel filly

The filly is already odds-on to follow up her impressive win in the Princess Margaret Stakes and is looking to enhance her 1000 Guineas claims with another win

FAIR EVA is the star name among eight fillies declared for the Sky Bet Lowther Stakes at York on Thursday.

Roger Charlton's youngster was hugely impressive on her racecourse debut at Haydock in June before providing the brilliant Frankel with his first Pattern-race success as a stallion with a breathtaking performance in last month's Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot.

Next year's 1000 Guineas favourite is odds-on across the board as she bids to keep her unbeaten record intact at Group Two level on the Knavesmire.

Fair Eva's rivals include another Frankel filly in the form of the Richard Fahey-trained Queen Kindly.

Two Catterick victories sandwich a fine effort to finish a close third in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot for the daughter of Lady Of The Desert, who won the Lowther in 2009.

Aidan O'Brien relies on Roly Poly, who is on a hat-trick after wins in the Grangecon Stud Stakes at the Curragh and Duchess of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket.

She is reopposed by fellow Irish challenger and Duchess of Cambridge runner-up Magical Fire, trained by Michael O'Callaghan.

Richard Hannon's Nations Alexander won the Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket less than a fortnight ago, but has ground to make up on Fair Eva and Roly Poly on previous form.

The Keith Dalgleish-trained Clem Fandango, David O'Meara's Fashion Queen and Kilmah from Mark Johnston's stable complete the field.
