Dennis Drier is confident that Miss Frankel will make a full recovery from the strained high suspensory ligament damage she suffered when odds-on for her handicap debut at Kenilworth last Thursday.

He said yesterday: “A strained suspensory is a nasty injury but I am sure that, with treatment and rest, she will be back.”

The three-year-old daughter of champion sprinter Val De Ra was found to be lame on her off-fore after finishing only fifth of seven. She will go home to Avontuur for her recuperation.
