Productive 2025 campaign for Sir Mark Prescott included a 1m4f handicap hat-trick; signed off from former yard well beaten in Listed company on AW at Lingfield (1m5f); purchased for 150,000gns in the meantime and has the rating to get involved, but trainer's other runner, Perfect Your Craft, is arguably more interesting.

Held up this season, winning four of those five starts; that includes 1m4f handicaps at Epsom (good), Catterick (soft) and Thirsk (good) on last three outings, well on top when forging clear on the last two occasions and she's well treated under a penalty for scoring last Saturday.

Winner of three of her six races for Ralph Beckett; purchased for 300,000gns and posted a cracking effort on seasonal return/stable debut when keeping on well over 1m2f in a big-field premier handicap at the Curragh, denied by a nose; enters Group 3 company for the first time but worthy of consideration with improvement; cheekpieces go on.

Favourite all four starts; edged ahead close home in a novice event at Salisbury (1m, heavy) last October and five-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in July; creditable fifth of 13 in a strong race at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) on latest outing but she needs better.

Definite promise in a few of her maiden runs last season and initially earned a mark of 85; that slipped to 80 after a couple of lesser efforts on soft ground at Killarney (1m3f) and Navan (1m6f) in October; trip and ground fine here and place chance on seasonal return.

By Wootton Bassett out of a 9.5f Listed winner who's sister to Irish Guineas winner Roderic O'Connor; won a maiden at Cork (1m, yielding) last September and probably improved again when front-running third of seven in Group 3 at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding) two weeks ago; top trainer so often gets these 3yo middle-distance fillies to improve.

Winner and Group 3-placed over 1m on heavy in the autumn; forget about her run at Navan a fortnight ago (found to be showing signs of coming into season), but what was significant was that Moore picked her over 10lb higher-rated stablemate (who, admittedly, also ran poorly); pedigree implies she can improve at this trip and entered in both Oaks.

Had a troubled run on debut; put that behind her when landing the odds in a 1m maiden at Gowran last September; ground was testing then, and same when she was third in a 1m Group 3 race at the Curragh in October; pedigree implies she can improve at this trip; Ryan Moore prefers her to Minerva who is rated 10lb superior (official and RPR figures).
