Unraced at two; an improved performer this year, as befits her stature, and she swept to the front before holding on well in Pontefract Listed race (1m4f, good) in June; no disgrace when sixth in a Munich Group 1 two months ago, and that form was given a strong boost when the first and third fought out a hectic finish to this month's Irish Champion stakes; major player.

Held last year by Waardah at Goodwood and Consent in this race, but raised her game to score twice since, including in a York Group 3 (1m6f, good; made most at 1-2) in May; good to firm ground might account for her last of six at Goodwood when next seen ten weeks later; serious player if back to her best.

Poetry in motion up the straight at Ascot where's she registered all three of her Group 1 wins, on a range of ground, crowned by the King George (1m4f, good to firm) last month; unraced here but also shone at Newbury on 2026 reappearance; as today's chief rival on ratings is Minnie Hauk, who finished well adrift of her in the King George, this mare is the one to beat.

1m4f Group 1 wins last summer in the Oaks, Irish Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks before she was beaten a head in the Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp; creditable runner-up to top-class Ombudsman at Royal Ascot this June but disappointing either side of that and well adrift of Kalpana in the King George at Ascot last time; can go head to head with Kalpana if back to her best.

Beaten just a neck in this race in 2024 (good to firm) and heavy ground was against her when a below-par third 12 months ago; won the Group 2 Middleton Stakes at York (1m2f, good) this May for the second year running; well beaten in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot last month and now 0-13 in Group 1 races, but she's still entitled to respect back against her own sex.

Secured back-to-back Group 2 Middleton wins at York (10.5f, good to firm/good) last month; went very close to making Group 1 breakthrough in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft) last October but beaten just over 4l by Ombudsman when third in this last year (good to firm) and it's likely that her limitations will again be exposed today.

Inis Mor

8st 12lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: David Menuisier

She beat the subsequent Ribblesdale winner by a head when taking the Listed Height Of Fashion at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May before peaking with placed efforts in the French (10.5f) and Irish Oaks (1m4f) in the summer; below that level when well held at York last time but her yard has recently got back amongst the winners and those Classic efforts give her leading claims.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Third in a soft-ground maiden on reappearance; huge advances in her three starts since, notably when pipped by Earth Shot at Royal Ascot and 4l winner of Irish Oaks at the Curragh (both 1m4f on good to firm); the latter was in smooth style, as she skipped clear over 1f out before Inis Mor ran on into second, while Earth Shot disappointed in sixth; any further improvement would make her a serious rival for the older stars in this race.

Won at the third attempt, making all in a maiden at Leopardstown (1m2f, good) in May; took the sharp rise in class in her stride when going very close against Earth Shot in the Ribblesdale; further improvement on the cards; helps to give Joseph O'Brien a strong hand.

Lightly raced 3yo won Doncaster maiden (soft) on sole start at two; followed up on seasonal return in York Listed in May over a mile although still green; following month not the pace to challenge on quick ground over this trip when beaten nearly 5l in Group 1 Prix de Diane, but worth this second try at 1m2f on easier ground.

7-2, set a steady pace when making all on debut at Doncaster (7f, soft) last October; prevailed by just a neck and is bottom of this pack on RPRs but she's a half-sister to a 7f/1m Listed winner for connections, and her dam was a US 9.5f/1m2f Grade 1 winner; she could have lots more to offer.
