Dank capable of taking high rank

The Dick Hern Listed Fillies’ Stakes at Haydock (4.00) is a really competitive looking race but it provides an opportunity for the rapidly progressive Dank to earn some black type.

Michael Stoute’s filly had your typical Freemason Lodge-style two-year-old campaign: one very promising effort in a back-end maiden.

On that sole outing as a juvenile, at Newbury, she ran second behind Hazel Lavery, who went on to finish second behind subsequent Irish 1000 Guineas winner Samitar in the Tattersalls Millions Fillies’ Trophy on her next outing, at the same track, and also picked up a Listed race just last month when winning the Newsells Park Stud Stakes at Newmarket.
