    I think I have a reasonable idea what will be favourite for the Fillies&#8217; Mile now. Anybody&#8217;s guess whether the opposition were any good, but Radiator was in a different parish.

    Wonder whether Ryan Moore will be getting his ear bent by Sir Michael Stoute as he will be having to fend off Classic questions; and given her pedigree she is probably favourite for the 2014 Oaks.

    Much more like it from Radiator Barney.

    Hard to gauge exactly what she has beaten but could not have been more impressive.

    Talented filly.

    I dunno how Best gets away with it - look at her previous runs over hurdles - on her first 5 starts for Best in novice hurdles she was stone cold last 3 times and beaten an aggregate of 475 lengths. Start number 6 saw her pulled up on boxing day. She was then off the track for 8 months and has now racked up a hat-trick off handicap marks of 78, 78 (ex7) and 96. Some would say "hats off" to the trainer, others would point to the non-triers rule ....................

    Boost for the Illinois form who must be decent to have beaten Warbird by 3.5L on debut.

    First two well clear and the second is definitely one to keep an eye on and was a drifter in the market.
