Three generations of the same sire line will be represented in the Group 3 Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes at Salisbury on Thursday when Acclamation, Dark Angel and Lethal Force all field runners in the six-furlong juvenile contest.

The oldest of the trio, Acclamation, has two daughters set to line up, with the King Power Racing-owned Dear Power appearing to hold the strongest chance having defeated the smartly performed Jm Jackson on debut at Chelmsford over the Dick Poole trip.

The Rathbarry Stud stalwart is also represented by last-time-out winner She Can Dance, the outsider of the field who won a Chelmsford nursery in good style on her most recent start.

Acclamation's son Dark Angel gets in on the act with the Cheveley Park Stud homebred Dark Lady, a filly who has improved on all three starts in Pattern company since sailing clear by five lengths in a Lingfield fillies' novice stakes in mid-July.

Completing the three-generational sequence is Dark Angel's own son Lethal Force, whose daughter Final Option earned her place in the line-up after making a scintillating winning debut at Ripon in early August.

Dear Power, Dark Lady and Final Option all hold entries to the Cheveley Park Stakes, while the former two are also entered up in the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket later this month.

None of the above are favourite, however, with Kingman's Listed-winning daughter Summer Romance pitched in at odds of 6-4.
