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.

Sole win (ten races) was a 2023 maiden; twice second to star stayer Kyprios over 1m6f in spring 2024 and Curragh Group 2 on latest outing was up with his best form, albeit finishing only sixth of seven; last year's 17th in the Ebor and 11th in the Cesarewitch, both off only 3lb higher than today, suggest it is best to turn elsewhere despite his illustrious connections.

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.

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.
