23rd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 100y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
She's won five of her six starts, the latest victory coming in the Group 1 Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft) in October 2024; absent since and she needs to prove she retains her ability, but she probably won't need to be at her very best to come out on top in this line-up. |

27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Tenacious winner of a maiden at Kempton (1m, AW) in December and Listed race at Newmarket (1m2f, good) in May, making most in the latter as the first two drew 12l clear; 8-11 for the Group 3 Musidora at York (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) just ten days later but held up and hung right, finishing last of seven; on a recovery mission but the Newmarket win demands respect. |
4/1 |

7th 3 (7) |
15th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has Coronation Stakes and Ribblesdale entries; late foal; half-sister to eight winners including French Group 1 winners With You, Call The Wind and We Are; dam 10.5f Group 3 winner; upset in the stalls on intended debut; tenacious winner of a maiden at Kempton (1m, AW) later in December and Listed race at Newmarket (1m2f, good) ten days ago, making most last time as the first two drew 12l clear; that was a serious performance and her stable has won seven of the last 13 Musidoras. |

13th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ran well in sole AW outing; form dipped the last twice but consistent previously and she may well rebound in this scenario (drops back in class); tongue-tie now applied; successful in her last Listed attempt and also warrants respect on the pick of her Group efforts, including at Royal Ascot (1m). |

14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Two good 1m runs at this venue after joining Ger Lyons, 2l third behind One Look in a Group 3 in April and 2 3/4l third behind Porta Fortuna in a Group 2 in June; reported to have suffered heat stress in a C&D Group 3 won by One Look in July; redeemed herself at Gowran; Red Letter is the yard's number one. |

13th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 100y |
9st 9lb |
Often ran well in defeat in good company for Richard Spencer; confirmed a good standard of form with two 1m Curragh runs after joining Ger Lyons, 2l third behind One Look in a Group 3 in April and 2 3/4l third behind Porta Fortuna in a Group 2 in June; reported to have suffered heat stress in a 1m2f Group 3 at the Curragh on latest. |

Yet to score in stakes' company but has run well in defeat on multiple occasions, including at 1m2f; shaped like further would suit on her first two starts for Ger Lyons here over 1m, 2l third behind One Look in Park Express and 2.75l third behind Porta Fortuna in Lanwades Stud Stakes (One Look second); place chance at least back at 1m2f. |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Very useful filly; successful over 1m at Royal Ascot (handicap) and Deauville (Group 3) last term and Kempton (AW Listed) on reappearance; came up short returned to Royal Ascot (Group 2) last time but commands respect, even with a 3lb penalty, back down in grade. |
11/4 |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Her highlights last season included a win in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) and a clearcut success in Group 3 at Deauville (1m, good) in August; made virtually all when just holding off Crimson Advocate on Kempton reappearance (1m Listed) in March but she's exposed after 16 starts and has something to find on the figures back in a Group 2. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
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. |
33/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
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 |

10th 5 (4) |
18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
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. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Versatile tactically; took her form to a new level in 2024, which included a Listed win at Newmarket (1m, heavy) in September and some solid runs in Group races to start the season; close fourth from the front at Goodwood on reappearance five weeks ago and has each-way claims. |

3rd May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Took her form to a new level last season, which included a Listed win at Newmarket in September and a second in a Group 3 in France the following month (both at 1m on heavy); has to concede weight all round on her return but she has the best form in this line-up and is fairly versatile ground-wise; big player. |

Unraced on officially firmer than good; French 1m Listed winner last July, prior to career-best form when close third in this race; wore cheekpieces both starts this season and looked on her way back to her best when fourth in 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown latest; place claims. |

8st 11lb |
Unbeaten after three starts; bagged Listed honours at York (1m, good; unraced on firmer) in May last time out, settling better in a first-time hood and gradually working her way to the front before going on by 2l; declared for Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot but withdrawn with self certificate; needs improvement but no shock if she proves equal to this task. |
5/2 |

1st 5 (5) |
17th May 2024 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won comfortably on debut at Newmarket (7f, soft) last October and followed up by a neck in conditions race at Kempton (1m, AW) last month; this half-sister to top connections' Group 3 winner One Ruler is open to further improvement and the first-time hood could help her settle; in calculations. |
