16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Impressive in the Group 3 Fred Darling over C&D (good) in April on reappearance; she's not seen her race out since in the 1,000 Guineas, Irish Guineas or Coronation Stakes, all admittedly top races over 1m but she tailed off in first-time cheekpieces in the last named, which prompts concern today even though she's back at 7f. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Impressive in the Fred Darling but her subsequent efforts, upped to 1m, in the 1,000 Guineas (comfortably held) and Irish equivalent (finished fourth) suggest she ideally needs a return to 7f; now goes in cheekpieces; not certain to get home. |

Winner and Group-placed at two; belied her 33-1 odds with a clear-cut success in the 7f Fred Darling at Newbury on seasonal debut; fading when stumbling over a furlong down in the 1,000 Guineas; still has to prove she stays this far. |

9st 2lb |
25-1 winner of the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup over C&D (good to firm) at this meeting last year and she showed that was no fluke when running well at Glorious Goodwood next time; however, not at the same level since and down the field in the King Charles III Stakes over 5f here on Tuesday. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Her win in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup (good to firm) at the Royal meeting last year was a big advance on previous form and, although she ran perfectly well back over 5f next time, when a close third to Jm Jungle in a Group 2 at Goodwood (good to soft), her overall form suggests she'll be found wanting on her first 5f run since. |
18/1 |

Low-mileage filly who held on by a neck in last year's Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) and had excuses for her subsequent defeats in 2025; not disgraced, despite failing to justify favouritism, in Newmarket Group 3 on reappearance; again respected at the weights. |

Won a Listed race at York (5f, good) as a 2yo but she's 0-12 since and has had some major blips along the way; reappeared with fair fifth in Listed event at Kempton (1m) in March but Never Let Go was ahead of her in that race and the market leaders were well below form; only beaten a nose in the corresponding race 12 months ago but even that will need bettering today. |

Smart as 2yo but she hasn't quite hit those heights in 2025, albeit facing some tough assignments; dropping down the weights and now tried in cheekpieces but others look safer. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Went close in Group 3 Firth Of Clyde Stakes at Ayr (6f, good to firm) last September; reappeared with fair fifth of 15 in the Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good) in April but has failed to build on that and she needs to raise her game now back up in trip. |
16/1 |

6 (3) |
20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
In the same ownership as Miss Lamai and finished just in front of that rival when third of 24 in last season's Queen Mary; unplaced in three starts this year but looks to retain all her ability, faring better than the result when sixth in a strong Listed race at Cork (5.5f, good) last month; a big run at rewarding odds can't be ruled out in this her first handicap. |

9st 2lb |
Good second in the Albany on this card last year, then landed two Group prizes; creditable third, one place behind stablemate Flight, in the 1,000 Guineas but was soundly beaten in the Irish version; chance partly depends on how well she responds to first-time headgear. |

Solid juvenile campaign featured Group wins over 6f/7f in Britain/France and a good second to Lake Victoria over 7f at this track in the Moyglare; fourth in the Prix Marcel Boussac; doubts raised by a tame run in the Fred Darling on reappearance; left that form behind when third in the 1,000 Guineas, one length behind stablemate Flight. |

Beat subsequent Listed winner Saqqara Sands to win 3yo Listed race at Epsom (7f, good to soft) last month; disappointing at York since when back on better ground (7f, good) but she had won on good to firm on last July's debut; not written off in view of the Epsom performance. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Record of 2-3 last year for Sir Michael Stoute; only midfield in the Fred Darling on reappearance but resumed her progress with a bang when the ready winner of a 7f Epsom Listed race (good to soft) 22 days ago; the second gave that form a boost with a comfortable Listed success of her own at Carlisle on Wednesday; should go well. |

Disappointing favourite at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks ago but her best performances have coincided with her two encounters with slow ground (both good to soft) so this 3yo is an interesting contender in first-time cheekpieces in view of today's conditions. |
