John Gosden again has a now-customary clutch of high-class prospects among his 3-year-old fillies in 2020 and Juddmonte’s Franconia (GB) (Frankel {GB}) was the latest to join in when winning Saturdays Listed Abingdon Fillies’ S. at Newbury in the style of a ready-made Oaks contender. Sent off the 7-4 favourite despite having only finished second in a seven-furlong novice at Chelmsford in November, the homebred travelled strongly in a share of third off the honest pace and when sent to the front passing the two-furlong pole by Frankie Dettori drew away to beat TDN Rising Star Cabaletta (GB) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) by 3 3/4 lengths, with Chamade (GB) (Sepoy {Aus}) 1 3/4 lengths behind in third.
