Group 1 winner over 6f at two; the best filly at a mile in Europe last year, winning three Group 1 races over the trip, Coronation, Falmouth and Matron Stakes; forgiven a below-par effort in the Breeders' Cup Mile when last seen; yard hasn't hit top form yet this year but she is the one to beat if close to her best on return. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won three 1m Group 1s against her own sex last year, namely the Prix Rothschild, Matron and Sun Chariot (all good/good to yielding); tackles 1m2f for just the second time on her seasonal return (wasn't strong at the finish when fourth in the 2024 Prix de l'Opera on previous attempt but it was only just short of her best RPR at the time); has to carry a 3lb penalty and wasn't at her best on her reappearance in 2024 or 2025; top mare but there are reasons to oppose her this time. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has won Group 1s against her own sex in her last three starts (1m, good/good to yielding), namely the Prix Rothschild, the Matron and the Sun Chariot; this is tougher and the last time she took on males she was sixth of eight in the Lockinge in May, but that was her reappearance and the fast ground may not have suited; this front-runner can make a bold bid. |

4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Last year's Irish 1,000 Guineas winner; last three races in cheekpieces; didn't look in love with the fast ground when just behind Cinderella's Dream at Royal Ascot but has since been typically tenacious in winning Group 1s at Deauville (good) and Leopardstown (good to yielding); looks as good as ever and she's uncomplicated filly who will race close to the lead; hard to knock. |

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. |

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. |

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 |
9st 2lb |
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. |

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. |

Has shown much more of her old spark recently with blinkers a real addition; went up 11lb for her last run when beaten just over three lengths in the Group 1 Matron Stakes; a reproduction of that could suffice if she wasn't flattered; tongue-tie added here. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Smart form in winning her first two races at three; failed to add to her tally last season; posted a career-best to win a 1m1f Group 2 event at Newmarket three weeks ago; has the beating of Francophone on that running; strong contender if she can replicate that form on slower ground; seems ideally suited by a quick surface. |
