Entered in both Oaks and the Ribblesdale; posted the same RPR of 86 when second at the Curragh (7f) and third here (1m2f, again heavy ground); just about sets the standard on those efforts and should have better days ahead of her.

Won a Leopardstown maiden in May; second since in a 1m4f Group 3 at Cork and 1m2f Listed race at the Curragh, with a creditable seventh of eight in the Irish Oaks in between; returning to 1m4f can help with further improvement but it is needed, in the first-time headgear.

Beaten in a three-runner maiden at Navan (1m5f, heavy) but the winner could be useful and he looked badly in need of the experience; just worrying to see blinkers turned to quite so soon.

Career-best form when chasing home top stayer Scandinavia in Irish St Leger at the Curragh (1m6f, good) last month; last two runnings of the Group 1 Cadran at Longchamp (2m4f) saw him finish third to Caballo De Mar, making most two weeks ago; firmly in the mix on first visit to Ascot.

Only a maiden win to his name, but he's a smart stayer; placed in the Ebor and Irish Cesarewitch last year, and in pair of French Group 1s at the back-end; 300-day absence and will surely improve for the run.

Behind three of these when last of six in Navan Listed race (1m5f, soft) last month but was beaten about only 2l on that second start and his strong finish in that slowly run race suggests his performance can be marked up; game win in Fairyhouse maiden (1m4f, good) 12 days ago and this unexposed colt could be about to take a big step forward; one of three for yard.

Encouraging third at Killarney (1m, soft) but ran a long way beneath market expectations in a first-time tongue-tie at the Curragh when finishing behind Serotonin; surely capable of leaving that form behind.

Hasn't yet fulfilled promise of juvenile debut at the Curragh; 9-4 fav, keen in blinkers when faded to fifth in Tipperary maiden last month; switch of headgear for handicap bow and, on paper, could be on a good mark but wouldn't be bullish about that.
