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. |

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. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Mercurial mare who is smart on her day; won 1m Group 2 at Royal Ascot and finished a close second in the Group 1 Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft) last year; the effect of the cheekpieces that prompted an improved fourth when bidding to retain her Ascot crown has worn off the last twice, though, including when a surprise market mover but beaten 24l in the Group 1 Nassau (1m2f, heavy) last time; wins nothing on that form, and the widest stall is not helpful, but she'd be a big threat if first-time blinkers fire her up. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Won the Group 2 Duke of Cambridge at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June and went close in the Group 1 Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft); respectable fourth back at Royal Ascot last month but she hasn't been at her very best this season and looks vulnerable today; can lead. |

9st 9lb |
Ran creditably in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) when bidding for a second win in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes but finished behind two of today's rivals and there seems no obvious reason why she should reverse the placings; ran as if something was amiss in this contest last year. |

Her best efforts have come on soft ground or slower (unraced on good to soft) and she was soundly beaten in a Group 2 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on her recent reappearance; however, she may have needed the run and last season's Group-race performances in France give her a leading shout. |

5th May 2024 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
A well-held third in this 12 months ago after winning a Listed race at Doncaster, in which she was no match for a subsequent Group 2 winner in this year's renewal; could strip fitter for that outing and a repeat of last year's peak efforts in a Group 3 at Epsom and the Group 1 Falmouth wouldn't see her far away; dangerous to pass over. |

Won her maiden here; later came up shy in two 1m Listed races before not giving her running when tailed off behind Novus in a Group 3 here (1m2f, soft); best form when edging home in a 1m Group 2 at Meydan three months ago and the runner-up was second in a US Grade 1 last month; the grey area is this return to further when she's notoriously headstrong. |
