31st Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Formerly trained in Britain; bagged Listed honours at Longchamp (7f, very soft) on debut for this French yard; subsequently came up short in the Epsom race won by Breege but this drop back in trip may help. |

8th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Had been off for six months since her debut when winning a Haydock novice (7f, good to firm) in May and ran just as well when second of 13 under her penalty at Newbury (1m, good) three weeks later; out of her depth in a Group 3 here (1m, good to soft) in July, but this looks more realistic and she is the least exposed in the field. |

9th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
7f AW scorer at two; disappointing favourite on final start for Charlie Appleby and failed to beat a rival over 6f here on debut for new stable; seems to be regressing; something to prove dropped further in trip. |
25/1 |
|
10th 3 (2) |
19th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Winning debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) for Charlie Appleby last November and went close on Haydock return in May but well held on handicap debut at Newmarket in June; makes stable debut after 118 days off having been sold for 30,000gns last month; drops in trip and worth a market check. |
12/1 |

5th 2 (4) |
23rd Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Odds-on favourite for her Kempton debut in November (7f) and she landed the money in good style; good second in a useful novice at Haydock four weeks ago (7f, good to firm) and she doesn't look overburdened for her handicap debut; more to come and strong claims. |

15th Jun 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Clear signs of greenness when 1l third at Yarmouth (7f, good) and again when beaten under 3l by Sea Of Thieves at Haydock (7f, good to firm); open to further progress but this might be a shade tough for her. |
14/1 |

3rd 8 (6) |
25th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Showcasing half-sister to three winners for her connections; duly made a promising debut, despite clear signs of greenness, at Yarmouth (7f, good; finished 1l third) early this month; should be capable of progress; one for the shortlist. |

8th Jun 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Wolverhampton novice winner for William Haggas last year; decent Gowran handicap third on Irish debut and a similar effort in a Curragh Group 2 since; should go well back down in grade. |
11/2 |
|
7th 1 (2) |
26th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Ran in these colours in four starts for William Haggas, for whom she won a 7f AW novice AW before finishing a respectable sixth in the Nell Gwyn; tailed off in a handicap at Royal Ascot on final British start; not a bad run in a Gowran handicap on Irish debut; little apparent chance at these weights; hooded. |

Frankel half-sister to 6f/7f AW winner Main Target; dam 1m-1m2f winner (including Group 2), half-sister to 1m2f Group 1 winner Izzi Top out of 1m2f Group 1 winning half-sister to top-class pair Kayf Tara and Opera House; interesting newcomer. |

13th Jul 2023 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed some ability all starts but probably best form came when sixth of seven in novice at Haydock (7f, good to firm) on second occasion, so it may not be the most solid; checked over 1f out at Yarmouth latest; interesting if backed for this handicap debut and she is bred to get at least 1m. |
9/1 |
|
7th 8 (4) |
14th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Respectable fifth of 15 on last month's Redcar debut (6f, good to soft) and probably bettered that performance when sixth of seven in fairly good race at Haydock (7f, good to firm) last month but others have stronger claims here. |
33/1 |

6th 4 (3) |
25th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

Made a somewhat encouraging debut at Redcar (6f, good to soft) three weeks ago, finishing fifth of 15; however, the bare form leaves her with a lot to find in this better race. |

14th Dec 2022 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Siblings are a mixed bag, but half-brother Botanik did win a late-season 1m maiden at two (later a Group 2 winner), and both the dam and her high-class half-brother Alexandros (Group 3) were juvenile scorers also; probable stable second string on bookings, but still some appeal herself. |

14th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up on her last three starts, including when a beaten odds-on favourite at Windsor (6f, good) five weeks ago; possesses AW experience (Polytrack) and sets the benchmark on all known form; surely won't have many better chances to break the maiden; the logical choice. |
4/11 |

2nd 12 (1) |
9th Oct 2023 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Notable effort at Newmarket (7f, good) last October, nearly beating the subsequent dual Group 2 scorer Sumo Sam; creditable second at Kempton (6f, AW) on belated reappearance and should build on that effort; well-bred filly who looks a winner in waiting; respected. |
