Three-time Group winner (1m4f-1m6f) for Henry de Bromhead when trained in Ireland; 0-4 for new stable this year but was very near to peak form when close second in York Group 3 (1m6f, good) in May, and her Group 2 fourth at Glorious Goodwood (1m6f, good to soft) was respectable.

Three-time Group winner for Henry de Bromhead, including of this race last year; went close at York in May on second run for new yard, ahead of two of today's opponents, but last of four when 5-6 for a 2m Sandown Listed race (set steady pace, possible non-stayer) four weeks ago; seemingly no ground worries; likely to bounce back with a big run.

T: William Haggas

Three-time Group winner for Henry de Bromhead; went close at York (1m6f) last time when bidding for a second success in the Bronte Cup; could still have extra to offer for new yard; interesting in receipt of the sex allowance, assuming she stays (second crack at 2m).

Form & Verdict
Failed to do herself justice in 1m6f race won by Shamida last time; Irish Oaks third behind stablemate Savethelastdance represents strong form and has earned an 11lb promotion to make her one pound superior to Boogie Woogie who is Ryan Moore's choice.

Not the easiest to place, hence a modest strike-rate for one of her ability; excellent seconds in Listed/Group 3 races and she's faced tougher tasks the last twice, not running at all badly last time at Glorious Goodwood (Group 2); can be involved.

Her only runs on good to firm were in 2022; close second this season in Ireland on good ground in 1m4f Listed race and to Grateful in 1m6f Group 3; ran respectably in Group 2 latest; usually runs with credit but several others in this seem established at a higher level.

Form & Verdict
Finished second to subsequent Irish Oaks winner Savethelastdance at Leopardstown in April before landing a maiden Naas on her fifth start; boasts high-class form in France (sixth in Prix Saint-Alar/second in a Group 3 at Chantilly), and has a similar chance to stablemate Library in theory; Ryan Moore's preference is significant.

Ballydoyle filly; disappointing at Cork most recently but has steadily progressive RPRs otherwise and could well bounce back; clear second in Group 3 at Chantilly (1m4f) the time before and holds a fighting chance on that form; steps up in distance.
