Bob, backing up your comments re Frankel: Data from Steve Miller see
www.chef-de-race.com/dosage/classics/2011/2011_2000_guineas_preview.htm.
Miller's Dosage analysis suggests that Frankel will excel at greater distances - the Derby for example...he suggests the following finishing order:
1) Roderic O’Connor
2) Pathfork
3) Frankel
4) Native Khan
5) Saamidd/Casamento
The article is well worth reading!

have read it John and this is the stuff that will point the way to the derby every year - I will stick with mine for this race and give the outsider Fury a squeak in the race as well won the sales race on soft here over 7flngs race, (the first winner of which Donativum, went on to take the Breeders´ Cup Juvenile Turf.) The time was 0.13secs faster than the preceding fillies´ race and this was an impressive success for a potential Group-race performer.
FURY, a half-brother to five winners from the family of Cassandra Go and Verglas, was a winner on his debut over 7f on fast ground and had clearly come on a good deal for that. Held up off the pace, he made his ground smoothly from 3f out and,once in front, came away for a comfortable success. He looks sure to build on this again and was quoted at 33-1 for the 2,000 Guineas in some places, although the trainer gave the impression he thought he might be more of a Jersey Stakes horse.
