31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Easily won the Group 3 Musidora Stakes at York (1m2f, good to firm) in May before pushing Minnie Hauk close in the Oaks (1m4f, good to soft; 4l back to third) and her stablemate followed up in the Irish Oaks; won the Group 1 Pretty Polly at the Curragh (1m2f, good) last time and the runner-up Kalpana franked that form when second in the King George on Saturday; major player. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Won 1m Group 3 at this venue on fourth and final start at two; below-par reappearance here in April; much more like it to win the Group 3 Musidora at York a month later, led over 3f out and ran on strongly; career-best when second in the Oaks, made the running and rallied well after being headed, emerging with almost as such as credit as stablemate Minnie Hauk. |

2nd 9 (9) |
6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
By Wootton Bassett; progressed nicely last year, on final start making most and rallying splendidly to take a 1m Group 3 at the Curragh (1m, soft) with Giselle among those on her heels; never seriously involved on reappearance and started joint-third favourite of six for the Group 3 Musidora at York (10.3f) a month later but she led over 3f out and ran on strongly to win in style; dam 1m winner but dam's sister Hydrangea won Group 1s over 1m and 1m4f; shapes as if she will stay and has big each-way chance. |

Group-placed 2yo winner hasn't progressed as expected, third in 1m2f Group 3 here over the summer her better effort; plenty to find. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 2lb |
Second runner for yard; maiden winner as a 2yo was later second in a Group 3; the best of her five runs this term was when second in the Gowran Classic over C&D in June; has to rebound from two lesser runs. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Ended last season with second to the classy Whirl in a Group 3 (1m, soft) here; back to that level of form when beaten neck by a stablemate in valuable Gowran conditions event in June but two runs since leave her with a fair bit to find here; cheekpieces added. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
By Frankel out of US 1m Grade 1 winner; won a maiden at the Curragh before close third to Whirl in Group 3 there (1m, soft) later in October; Lingfield Oaks Trial (11.6f, good to firm) was almost a non-event in terms of the opposition and she was pushed/nudged out to go 9l clear in the last 2f, having been held up last of three in a first-time hood (retained); while that was a satisfactory comeback, and she's reported to have improved a lot at home since, this race will demand a great deal more. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a maiden at the Curragh last October on second start (7f, good; unraced on faster) and close third in Group 3 there (1m, soft) later that month; she could do with settling better now up in trip but the first-time hood could help in that regard; from top Irish yard and she's a leading candidate. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Some notable form in 2yo maidens for this yard and went on to perform well in the US; at odds of 1-5 she duly outclassed her rivals in a Killarney maiden last month and interesting that she was engaged in a Group 3 at Leopardstown on Thursday only to be withdrawn. |

Just 1-12 but has faced some stiff tasks in group races; her standout effort was a third in the Irish Oaks; was well below that form in a fillies' Listed race at Naas last time and has to rebound over a new trip. |

Third in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, 1 3/4l off runner-up California Dreamer; sprang 33-1 success surprise in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot; no match for the front-running Whirl when stepped up 1m2f in the Nassau; coped well considering she was the outsider of five and running on ground that contrasted sharply with the quick surface she enjoyed at Royal Ascot. |

Won Cork maiden over this trip on good-to-firm last autumn; had notched a win and two seconds from three runs this year but over longer trips and at a level a long way removed from Classic standard. |

9st 4lb |
Trainer has won three of the last eight runnings and this 4yo was a 7f Group 3 winner for Michael O'Callaghan last June; however, she was well beaten last October on her final run for that yard and hasn't been at the top of her game this season on her first two starts for new yard. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |

Hooded when winning Naas Listed event (good) and Leopardstown Group 3 (soft) over 7f for Michael O'Callaghan last year; below form tackling firmer ground when fifth in 7f Lingfield Group 3 on return for Andrew Balding (same owner); good chance if recapturing her best. |
11/4 |

5th 1 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Seems tactically versatile; hooded when winning Naas Listed event (good) last May and followed up in Leopardstown Group 3 (also 7f, soft) the following month; left Michael O'Callaghan (same owner) after disappointing on heavy ground in October; Ryan Moore booked and she sets the standard on this stable debut/reappearance; plenty to like. |
