29th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Improver this season, winning a Listed race at Pontefract (1m4f, good to firm) in June on latest start, but this race demands further progress. |

1st 11 (5) |
25th Jun 2023 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Only fifth of nine to Luisa Casati in 1m4f Listed event at Goodwood on reappearance; however, she came to the fore as Sea Flawless and One Evening faded when excellent third of nine in Group 3 at York (1m6f, good to firm) on latest outing; that puts her firmly into each-way calculations. |

3rd 8 (7) |
27th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins over 1m2f at Newmarket preceded her creditable fifth in the 2022 Galtres Stakes here; filled the same position at Goodwood (in another 1m4f Listed event) on reappearance, shaping as if she's ready for a crack at 1m6f; may improve. |

20th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Improved filly in second half of last season, finishing second in Group 2 Park Hill at Doncaster (soft) before easily going one better in a heavy-ground Listed race at Bath (1m6f again) in October; also went close in a 1m4f York Listed event on good to firm last August so drying ground and a shorter trip aren't major concerns; big player if fully primed after nine months off. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
18th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Just one win from seven starts but she had a near-miss in a Listed race at York (1m4f, good to firm) in August and finished runner-up again in Group 2 Park Hill at Doncaster (1m6f, soft) last time; has found more progress in those last two runs and she's respected back in a Listed event; stablemate of Mimikyu. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Galileo filly who still has low mileage; went very close in the Galtres at York (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, again shaping as if she's worth another crack at a longer distance; down this pack on ratings but may improve further. |

20th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Losing spell goes back to her 2yo win but she couldn't have gone much closer to putting that right in Listed race at Pontefract (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago, going down by a nose (reopposing Divina Grace was third); claims if in similar form but she does have a bit of an in-and-out profile. |

2nd 3 (10) |
23rd Jun 2024 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |

Losing spell goes back to her 2yo win; respectable third in this race last year but has a question mark over current form; comfortably held in both outings this term. |

33-1 fourth in this contest last year; absent until well held at Goodwood two weeks ago; may be back in better form with that reappearance effort under her belt. |
20/1 |

5th 5 (5) |
9th Jun 2024 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Sole win from nine starts was Bath novice in 2022; best form came in a Listed race last June when last seen but that Pontefract fourth (1m4f) leaves her with major improvement to find; trainer won this in 2015, 2016, 2022 and 2023 but seems to have a much stronger chance with Aimeric this time. |

25th Jun 2023 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Big improvement last term brought two handicap wins in August by wide margins and she was third of 15 in a 1m4f Listed race at Galway in September; respectable, front-running fourth of nine in Listed race at Goodwood on reappearance, when the winner Luisa Casati beat her by just over 5l; will fare bit better if back to peak form but probably needs a career best to win. |

25th Jun 2023 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Sister to high-class Al Aasy; 1m2f wins in two of her three novice races; 11-2 in Group 3 at York (1m6f, good to firm) four weeks ago, racing freely and soon in close attendance to front-runner One Evening but both of them faded late on, behind Voodoo Queen among others; it looks as if this drop back in trip will help but others have markedly better form. |
9/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
27th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Evidently a late developer having been unraced at two and three; has shown a good deal of promise in novice events this year, with two wins over 1m2f (latest at Beverley) flanking a keeping-on second over 1m4f; brings clear potential to this Group assignment and has possibilities if she stays the new trip. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won on belated debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February and 4l second of four at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last time, behind one who was very impressive when following up seven days later; this well-bred filly is a strong candidate for her top trainer, who is 6-20 (30%) here in the last five years. |

28th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Has won three of her last six starts including an Ayr Listed contest (1m2f, good) last month; ran well to finish fifth of 13 in a Haydock Group 3 (1m4f, good) 20 days ago and placed in both AW starts, but she may be vulnerable to a less-exposed type. |

Prominent-racer who won two handicaps in a row at Newmarket (1m2f, good/good to firm) last autumn before fair fourth of six in Listed race there (1m2f, heavy); below par in Goodwood Listed race (1m4f, soft) on return but could improve for that outing and is not ruled out. |

25th Jun 2023 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Missed most of 2022 but landed a Listed race at Lingfield (1m5f, Polytrack) in October; her turf record is not convincing and she's been eased to finish a remote last in her last two turf starts, reportedly lame after latest five weeks ago; others can be approached with more confidence. |

led, headed but prominent after 2f, pushed along to challenge 2f out, ridden to lead inside final furlong, kept on strongly final 110yds, eased final strides (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that the filly appreciated the return to an all-weather surface, which was noted) |

1m4f Dundalk maiden winner (AW) in February on second start; better form in Listed races (1m4f and 1m6f) on next two starts but she was comfortably held in both and was last of nine in a Longchamp Group 3 on latest outing; needs improvement. |

Ended 2023 with French 1m6f Group 3 win from the front (very soft); raised her game again this season upped to 2m (held up) in Group 3s on first two outings, beaten a head by Sweet William on second occasion (soft); however, she's not lived up to those performances, usually racing too freely. |

31st Aug 2024 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ended last term with a 1m6f French Group 3 win from the front and raised her game again this season when upped to 2m (held up) in Group 3s on first two outings; raced far too freely in the 2m4f Ascot Gold Cup and disappointed when she again raced freely and reverted to front-running at Goodwood four weeks ago; the one to beat judged on initial form this term and James Doyle riding her for the first time is interesting. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Won at this meeting in 2022; ended last term with a 1m6f French Group 3 win from the front and better form again this season when upped to 2m and beaten a head in Group 3s at Ascot and Sandown; raced far too freely in the 2m4f Ascot Gold Cup on latest outing but looks a major player today. |

5yo who was much improved initially this season, notably for 1m4f Listed win at Goodwood (good to soft) in May; plenty of experience of soft ground but tailed off when upped to 1m6f on heavy at Goodwood two weeks ago; forgiven that given the extreme conditions but still needs overall improvement. |

5th Aug 2023 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
5yo who is much improved this season; beat Time Lock by 1l at level weights with a strong late bid in 1m4f Listed race here (good to soft) in May, following a close call on very soft in France; never able to challenge over 1m4f on good to firm in the Lancashire Oaks on latest start, a creditable run nevertheless and she's an interesting prospect for 1m6f. |
15/2 |

5th 2 (6) |
8th Jul 2023 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who beat Time Lock by 1l when a Listed winner at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in May; could have more to offer and her claims will be boosted if the ground is slow, but she needs to take another step forward if she is to pose a threat here. |
