Trainer Sir Henry Cecil has fired an ominous warning ahead of the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot that 'the best is still to come' from Frankel.

The three-year-old is1/3to add to his superb reputation by winning again on Saturday, having landed four major races already in 2025, winning the Greenham Stakes, the 2,000 Guineas, the St James's Palace Stakes and the Sussex Stakes.

However, Cecil is adamant that his charge still has further improvement left in him, saying: "I would not swap him, but no horse is a certainty.

"Frankel is potentially a very good horse - I think the best is still to come. If he stays right and everything goes to plan, I would like to think you will see a better horse as time goes on.

"I am not going to compare the best horses I have had over the years. They have been very good in their generations and distances. It would be very unfair to say this is the best I have ever had.

"It is a lovely position to be in to have a horse of that capability. I have enjoyed him. I found early on that he was slightly complicated and I am a simple person and like simple things.

"There is always a bit of pressure with a horse of his calibre. You are nervous about this, that and the other. I am very happy to have him and he is a challenge. I do the best I can with him."
