9st 2lb |
Dam was third in the Irish Oaks and is from a famous family; won a maiden at Cork (1m, soft to heavy) in September and found further serious improvement, again getting on top late on, when reappearing in Group 3 at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding) five weeks ago; looks sure to stay 1m4f and can probably improve for it; no surprise if she is a serious player. |

9st 2lb |
All four starts have been at the Newmarket tracks; 2-2 as a juvenile, including a soft-ground Group 3 in October, and she stayed on to go down by a neck in 7f Group 3 Nell Gwyn on reappearance; held every chance 2f out in the 1,000 Guineas (1m, good; 13-2) so ending up ninth of 16 was disappointing and she again hung under pressure; plenty to prove after that even though stamina can be found in her pedigree. |

9th 2 (13) |
5th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Dubawi filly who has reached a useful standard of form over 7f and gives the impression she'll rate even higher over this extra furlong; 2-2 as a juvenile, including Group 3 success on soft going here, then finished a neck second behind Pretty Crystal in good-ground Nell Gwyn on reappearance (beaten favourite but ran satisfactorily while still seeming rather green); likely to build on that trial effort and has to be feared. |

Chantilly Listed winner (1m1f, heavy) last October; staying-on third when 50-1 in the Oaks at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft) this May but that's easily her best show this term and hanging so badly right in the Irish Oaks on latest start was off-putting. |

31st May 2024 Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won two out of four starts as 2yo, notably a Listed race at Chantilly (1m1f, heavy) by 5l in October; not quite at that level back in France this term for a Group 3 (10.5f, very soft) or Group 2 (1m2f, soft) which suggests that she will find this very tough, even if her stamina can be stretched. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 2lb |
Class act who won last year's Irish Oaks and nearly followed up in the Yorkshire equivalent; cost Amo Racing a fortune after she finished last in the St Leger and suffered the same fate on her return in the Coronation Cup; however, this is a severe drop in class and would be hard to beat, even at this shorter trip, if new trainer Adrian Murray can get her back on track; 1-1 on the AW; tongue-tie left off. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Absent since compromising her chance by pulling hard over 14.5f in the St Leger; progressive otherwise and landed the Irish Oaks prior to running well in the Yorkshire version; may have more to offer back at 1m4f and looks interesting on reappearance. |
11/1 |

7th 7 (5) |
14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Twice something of a tearaway front-runner earlier this term but she seems to be settling down a bit and delivered much better form when tongue tied and coming from mid-division in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh (1m4f, good; won) and Yorkshire Oaks at York (1m4f, good to firm; second) on last two starts; needs to keep a lid on it over a longer trip today but she's been galloping on in those last two races and has a stout enough pedigree; another who's firmly in the mix on form too. |

Top rated 3yo is well treated by the conditions of this race; cracking run when fifth in the Irish Oaks in July; filled the same position in the Epsom Oaks; not beaten far in a pair of Group 3s and a Group 2 on her last three starts over 9.5f-10f; goes back up in distance now and is dropped in class; leading claims if seeing out this trip. |

Three wins from five starts at two, including a 7f Group 3 at this venue and Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket; looked in need of further when staying on for a close-up fifth in the 1,000 Guineas on seasonal debut; disappointing favourite for the Oaks, seemingly a combination of failure to handle the track and lack of stamina; back to the drawing-board at 1m now. |

31st May 2024 Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |

Frankel filly who cost 1,500,000gns as a yearling; three wins from five starts as a 2yo culminated in Group 1 Fillies' Mile success at Newmarket (soft) where she got up close home after trouble in running; 5-1 for the 1,000 Guineas there (good) on reappearance and made steady inroads from off the pace to go down by a length in fifth; seemed to be crying out for a longer trip in those 1m races and tops this field on those two pieces of form. |

Easy win on debut (1m4f, AW) and made it 2-2 when getting up late to beat subsequent Ribblesdale winner Port Fairy in the Listed Cheshire Oaks (11.3f, good) in May; well-beaten seventh in the Oaks at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft) last time but she retains potential and is not written off. |

Raced ten times as a 2yo, winning three; ran away with a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud (10.5f, heavy) on reappearance, but performed moderately at Longchamp (1m2f, soft) next time and front-running did not work out when 40-1 in the Oaks at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft); off 110 days and has lots to prove if she's on firmer than good; others look more solid. |

Raced ten times as a 2yo, winning a maiden and two handicaps; ran away with a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud (10.5f, heavy) on reappearance, when it looked as if she would have no problem going further, but she needs to bounce back from a modest show in Group 2 at Longchamp (1m2f, soft) 19 days ago. |

Made it three wins from her last four starts when landing Thirsk nursery (1m, good) under Brandon Wilkie a fortnight ago; the runner-up has franked that latest form and this filly has also won on soft ground; has a progressive profile and she's respected up 6lb for last time. |

Has kept top company, contesting two 1m4f Classics and the Ribblesdale after finishing second in the Oaks Trial at Lingfield; ran in a Group 3 at Gowran last time having suffered maiden defeats at Bellewstown and Galway (finished behind Radar Ahead); highest-rated filly but still risky. |

Headstrong sort but success in the 2024 Musidora at York shows she's very useful; led until around 1f out when fourth in 1m1f Newmarket Group 2 on reappearance, with the reopposing Running Lion in fifth; likely to be in the shake-up. |
