T: W McCreery

Two-time winner; beat My Mate Alfie by a short head in a listed heat over C&D (good) in June; didn't uphold that form in the Phoenix Sprint Stakes; much more like it in the Group 3 Ballyogan Stakes at Naas on latest when chasing home Sky Majesty; ground versatile and should be in the mix again.

Form & Verdict

Only 7-2 at Leopardstown (7f, soft) and went down narrowly to a Ballydoyle filly (third in a Listed last time) who had the benefit of experience; sizeable filly with a bright future by the looks.

Odds-on when off the mark at Cork (6f) and could have done with settling better when behind Vespertilio in a Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, soft); the hood could be a notable addition.

Form & Verdict

Debut winner who raced apart from Snellen when beaten a head by that rival in the Chesham at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); coped well with the softer ground here four weeks ago when beaten by a potentially smart filly over the extended 6f; returning to further will suit and looks sure to take a hand.

Form & Verdict

Shaped nicely in a barrier trial (fourth) before bumping into a subsequent Group 3 winner over C&D in June when doing her best work late; a line through the third suggests she should finish in close proximity to Pearls And Rubies, while there's surely more to come from her.
