1st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Ballydoyle filly who was impressive in the Prix Marcel Boussac on final 2yo start; solid second in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) six weeks ago with reappearance under her belt; big player provided she stays this new trip (mixed messages on breeding). |

2nd 5 (9) |
21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Justify filly whose progressive 2yo campaign culminated in an impressive performance in the Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp (1m) where she drew clear for a 5l success on ground that was faster than the official good to soft; likely to be at concert pitch with reappearance (below-par third in Irish 1,000 Guineas) under her belt; remains of strong interest. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Pulverised her seven rivals in this on her second outing of last season, scoring by a whopping 12l on good to firm; couldn't quite reproduce that high-class RPR at Group 1 level in five subsequent outings in 2025 but mostly ran well, including a close second in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, soft); didn't have much to spare at the line when 1-3 for a 1m2f Nottingham Listed race on reappearance but cruised through most of that contest and will likely be a lot closer to her best this time; again the one to beat in this. |
6/5 |

1st 5 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Smart filly who is a Group 3 and Group 2 winner at York (1m1f/1m2f); has plenty of Group 1 form, including placed efforts at Royal Ascot (against males) and Longchamp (close second) last season; takes on some unexposed and interesting rivals but sets a high standard for them to aim at; respected back down sharply in class. |
2/5 |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Made it 2-2 here when bolting up in the Group 2 Middleton Fillies' Stakes over C&D (good to firm) in May, and heavy ground excuses her below-par run in the Nassau three weeks ago; in between she was no match for Ombudsman in the Group 1 Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) and, while the return to York offers some hope, a career best is necessary. |

9st 1lb |
French filly who came with a strong late surge to land the Prix de Diane at Chantilly (10.5f, good to soft) most recently, proving suited by going beyond about 1m and taking record to 5-8; subsequently bought back at £8,100,000 at Goffs London Sale, then part-sold to Al Shaqab Racing for £5,000,000; progressing well and commands respect. |

11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Successful in last year's 1,000 Guineas but the cards dropped perfectly (came off strong pace) and she is 0-5 since; no match for Cinderella's Dream on the other course here on penultimate start; chance of doubling her Group 1 tally largely depends on how the race pans out. |

9st 3lb |
Won Kensington Palace handicap at last year's Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) and added a Listed race at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in the autumn; weakened into a well-held sixth in 1m2f York Group 2 on reappearance in May but she's entitled to strip fitter for the outing; shoulders a 3lb penalty for the French win. |

Won handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June and Listed race at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in October; 11.6f Group 1 proved too much for her on final start; needs to resume improvement but this daughter of two Arc winners may still be able to find extra. |

22nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Won at York in 2022; registered one Group 1 win that year and one (1m4f, good to firm) in 2023, with two close calls and she had another of those in the Pretty Polly at the Curragh (1m2f) this June, collared near the finish having kicked for home over 2f out; again raced wide in the Nassau at Goodwood last time but did not settle so well and found little from over 1f out; the clear form pick, judged on 2024 even, but she's been at that level only once this season. |
7/2 |

1st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Two Group 1 wins; acts on good to firm; inconsistent in her last four races but went close in the Pretty Polly at the Curragh (1m2f, yielding to soft) latest, collared near the finish having kicked for home a bit too soon in hindsight; leading player provided she remains in similar form. |

Cards dropped nicely in Group 2 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) in May; behind two of these rivals at the Curragh (yielding to soft) since, taking Group 1 record to 026905; however, this return to forecast faster ground is a plus. |

29th Jun 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Runner-up at 25-1 in this race 12 months ago despite not getting a clear run at a vital stage; not beaten far in the Yorkshire Oaks or the Prix de l'Opera before unsuited by soft ground on Champions' Day; justified reprieve from retirement with Group 2 defeat of Roaring Lion at Newmarket in May; runner-up flopped at Epsom before redeeming herself at Royal Ascot. |

Group 3 and Group 2 winner who has bits of form at the top level; however, she has something to find on 2024 efforts, latest behind Emily Upjohn in the Pretty Polly; doesn't look poised to break her Group 1 duck. |

Has won only twice but has strong form, including Ribblesdale second last year (Bluestocking third); improved with cheekpieces to land Group 2 Blandford Stakes over C&D in September; third in Prix de l'Opera, not disgraced in sixth behind Inspiral at Breeders' Cup; made little impression in Tattersalls Gold Cup on return; cheekpieces left off then, back on now. |

1m2f Listed winner; has performed well in Group 3 and Group 2 races over 1m4f at Haydock (good) this season; faces a stiffer assignment upped further in class but brings progressive RPRs, which bodes well. |
