1st 3 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Missed the rest of the season after finishing seventh in the Coronation over C&D at 2025 Royal Ascot but has returned with two fine runs behind Blue Bolt, latterly when fourth of 15 in the Duke Of Cambridge over C&D (good to firm); the one likely to give Touleen most to do. |
4/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Lost her unbeaten record when only seventh of 11 in last year's Group 1 Coronation over C&D at the Royal meeting but otherwise her light career has been one of progress; reeled in late by Blue Bolt in a Goodwood Listed race (1m, good) last month and it's likely she's capable of better again; considered. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Very lightly raced 5yo who left the impression 1m2f just stretched her when fourth in Nottingham Listed race on good-ground reappearance; raced only on soft/heavy prior to that, so won't be inconvenienced however much rain arrives. |
11/1 |

4th 4 (3) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Very lightly raced 5yo who has been kept to autumn races on soft/heavy ground; something to prove in this new scenario but otherwise an interesting type, having gained her 3yo success at Nottingham (1m) and being still open to further improvement; ran well in Listed contests the last twice and gives the impression she's ready for a crack at this new trip. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Won Musselburgh handicap (1m1f, good) in good style in April but has since come up short in Listed race here and Group 2 at Ascot (1m, good to firm; last of 15); will need a career best but she's relatively low mileage. |
14/1 |
|
15th 13 (3) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
She is on her third trainer but has won half of her eight starts, most recently when picking up a Musselburgh handicap (1m1f, good) on her comeback in April; showed she belongs at Listed level when beaten 2l at Haydock (10.5f, good to soft) last time but, while she continues to make strides, this is a different test altogether. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Beaten only once in four outings as a 2yo, crowning the campaign with a gutsy success in Group 3 at Newmarket (7f, good); should have no problem getting 1m; still has untapped potential and she's an interesting candidate if ready to roll after ten months off. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Got up towards the finish in Doncaster sales race (6.5f, good to soft) most recently, taking her record to 121; could well have even more to offer back over 7f; one for the shortlist. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up to Precise in the Group 3 Prestige Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) last August and third in the Group 2 Rockfel at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in September; she's better than she showed in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket (1m, good) last October, when well beaten behind Precise, but this is her first run since and she looks up against it. |
50/1 |

7 (3) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Disappointing favourite in the May Hill but otherwise has a solid record; ties in with Precise on Goodwood running; creditable third in the Rockfel at Newmarket (7f) with cheekpieces fitted most recently; could go well in the retained headgear. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Progressive 2yo campaign culminated in fine second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf; below par in Listed race at York (possibly needed run) and Group 3 at Epsom (ground possibly softer than ideal) this term; some questions to answer but she's a leading player if back to her best. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Unbeaten in two starts, both over 7f (likely to be as effective at 1m); comfortably defied a penalty in Haydock novice event (soft) on seasonal debut; out of a Listed/Group 3 winner for her owner-breeder and brings potential to this rise in grade; adds interest. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (6) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
11-2 when winning with something to spare on debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last August; absent since but her dam was a 1m Listed/1m2f Group 3 winner and she could have lots more to offer for her top yard; leading claims under 7lb penalty. |

Betting Forcast
9/2 Kon Tiki, 40/1 Love Dynasty, 66/1 Maeva, 25/1 Noche Clasica, 7/2 Calendar Girl, 14/1 Cap Santa Lucia, 100/30 Moon Target, 10/1 Pacific Mission, 3/1 Secret Of Life, 15/2 So Regal
Verdict
A well-contested and fascinating running of the Atalanta. Kon Tiki won at Group 3 level at Ascot last month but a 3lb penalty makes this a sterner assignment. The upwardly mobile 3yos Calendar Girl and Secret Of Life (second choice) can continue on the rise and should make their presence felt, but the most compelling claims are held by MOON TARGET who has been holding her own in Group 1 events and can capitalise on a drop in grade.[Richard O’Brien]
