24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Consistent in the main and versatile ground-wise, she gained a deserved big prize in the Group 3 Princess Elizabeth Stakes (8.5f; against fillies and mares) at Epsom in June; however, she's been beaten on her three starts since and her limitations are again likely to be exposed this afternoon. |

9st 7lb |
Consistent filly who's done nothing wrong this season, backing up her Epsom Group 3 win with a solid effort in Group 2 at Royal Ascot in first-time headgear; a penalty leaves her a bit to find but she's fine round easy, turning courses (can lug left) and should give her running as usual dropped from 1m and switched to blinkers. |

9st 10lb |
Went close in Group 3 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last June but a long way below that level on her seven outings since, five this season; 1m2f might have stretched her at Newmarket last time but others are still more convincing. |

Went close in Group 3 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last June but a long way below that level on her six outings since, four this season; drops in class and runs in her first handicap since September 2023; tried 1m2f once, when tailed off last June; plenty to prove. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Landed a Group 3 in Ireland last July and back in that sort of form when the ready winner of a 1m Pontefract Listed race (good) 18 days ago, readily quickening 3.25l clear of the reopposing Cheshire Dancer; went without the hood she'd worn since the start of 2024 at Pontefract and it's left off again; leading form claims but is up against some progressive 3yos. |
7/2 |

1st 8 (2) |
8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Form since wearing a hood features 1m Listed and 1m1f Group 3 wins on British/Irish soil last term; has made the frame in Group races at York and Epsom this season; major contender in this field, provided the removal of headgear doesn't have a negative effect. |
9/2 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Listed winner on soft last May and she also won a five-runner Group 3 at the Curragh (1m1f, good; last to first) last July; shaped okay when third to runaway winner in York Group 2 (1m2f, good to firm) on last month's reappearance; it's hard to say whether she or Chic Colombine suffered the worst nightmare run in this race last year but both ran on well to be placed and she's firmly in the mix again if getting sufficient breaks. |

9st 7lb |
Third at Epsom on return was a lot better than either of her subsequent efforts and she's only ever won two novice events, the latest in June 2022; some stiff tasks, admittedly, but others have more pressing claims. |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Capable of useful form; didn't fare badly in Royal Ascot handicap most recently considering two things were against her (partially shod, poorly drawn); however, chance of ending a three-year losing spell depends on whether the first-time tongue-tie works a treat. |
12/1 |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Largely found it tough at Listed/Group level on joining David O'Meara last summer but made a promising return to action with her sights lowered when keeping on for third in 8.5f Epsom handicap (good to soft) on Oaks day; should be competitive from an unchanged mark. |

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. |

8st 9lb |
Has faced stiffer tasks since making a successful debut at Newmarket (7f, soft) last October and finished behind Chic Colombine in a Group 3 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Derby day; shaped as though further would suit and is a half-sister to an AW winner, but she still needs to improve if she is to reverse those placings; stable also runs La Pasionaria. |

Won on debut at Newmarket (7f, soft) last October and heavy ground may have been too much when soundly beaten there in November (1m Listed); hails from a fine family her connections have enjoyed plenty of success with, and she retains potential; not discounted. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

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. |
