Isabella Giles tees up 1,000 Guineas bid with Rockfel win

It's 14 years since the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes threw up the winner of the following year's 1,000 Guineas but Clive Cox could well have a live contender on his hands for the 2021 renewal in the shape of Isabella Giles.

The daughter of Belardo was backing up her win in the Group 3 Prestige Stakes at Goodwood and was cut to 25-1 (from 50) by most firms for Classic glory after making it four wins from just five starts.
