Roly Poly has York option Roly Poly is one of 13 possibles for the Sky Bet Lowther Stakes at York on Thursday. Aidan O'Brien's juvenile was last seen defeating Magical Fire in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes at the July meeting and the latter looks to set reoppose with a 3lb swing in the weights. O'Brien could also be represented by Brave Anna, winner of the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot, while a fourth Irish possible comes in the shape of Velveteen, successful in a Curragh maiden a month ago. Frankel's exciting prospect Fair Eva will be the star attraction if lining up at York. Wearing the Khalid Abdullah silks immortalised by Frankel, who graced the Knavesmire with victory number 13 in an unblemished 14-win career record in the Juddmonte International in 2012, Fair Eva is set to defend her own unbeaten record. Impressive on her racecourse debut at Haydock in June, the Roger Charlton-trained juvenile became the first of her sire's offspring to win a Pattern race when landing the Group Three Princess Margaret Juddmonte Stakes at Ascot last month. Kilmah, runner-up at Ascot, has been left in by her trainer Mark Johnston, while Nations Alexander, who filled second spot behind Fair Eva at Haydock, may try to turn the tables. Richard Hannon's charge took the Group Three Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket on her latest start having previously finished third to Roly Poly at Newmarket. The Albany second and third, Bletchley and Queen Kindly, another daughter of Frankel, may also go to York. Completing the baker's dozen in the six-furlong Group Two are Clem Fandango, Fashion Queen, Grizzel and Hope Solo.
