Fair Eva will face seven rivals when she bids to get back on the winning trail in the Shadwell Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket on Friday.

The daughter of Frankel lived up to her regal breeding with a stunning debut performance at Haydock in June and a similarly impressive display in the Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot saw her harden as ante-post favourite for next year's 1000 Guineas.

However, she was unable to complete the hat-trick in last month's Lowther Stakes at York, finishing third behind another Frankel filly in Queen Kindly.

Roger Charlton now steps his charge up to seven furlongs for the first time.

Fair Eva's opponents in the Group Two contest include Sir Michael Stoute's Yarmouth winner Exmouth and the Marcus Tregoning-trained Salisbury scorer Argenterie.

Frankie Dettori gets the leg-up on French challenger Spain Burg, while Glitter Girl steps up in class after winning her last three starts for William Haggas.

Mark Johnston's Miss Infinity, the Richard Hannon-trained Nations Alexander and Perfect Madge from Kevin Ryan's yard complete the line-up.
