9st 5lb |
Won here at two; five defeats at three included a remote finish in the Irish Oaks won by You Got To Me, but has improved this season with first and second finishes in two Listed races over Gowran's extended 1m1f; respected with no wellbeing issues. |

13th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 100y |
9st 12lb |
Dundalk winner on only start at two; beaten a neck in a Group 3 event at Naas on seasonal debut at three, and also went close in a Listed race at Dundalk autumn; began the new campaign brightly with a fourth placing in a 1m4f Group 3 event at Cork; no major problem with the drop in trip when battling well to land a C&D Listed race in May. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
5yo who has been a big improver this year, winning the Group 2 Dahlia Stakes on the other Newmarket course (1m1f, good to firm) on her reappearance and producing a career best when second to Blue Bolt in the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month, beaten just under 2l under a 3lb penalty; they reoppose off level weights and she's not ruled out. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 1 (9) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Tends to go well fresh and it was a clear career best when reappearing to win 1m1f Group 2 at Newmarket (good to firm; Cathedral second, Francophone fourth, Falakeyah sixth) in May; didn't quite match that form when fifth in similar company at the Curragh three weeks later, albeit with that race not panning out ideally; 3lb penalty will likely leave her vulnerable again, though. |

5th 7 (1) |
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. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 7lb |
Second runner for yard; won a C&D maiden in 2024; gained a deserved Listed success at Killarney over 1m last time after some solid runs in defeat at that level; has run well over C&D but the forecast testing ground is a concern. |
7/1 |

1st 5 (9) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |
9st 4lb |
Won Gowran maiden (9.5f, good) last summer on yard debut and ran well in three starts in Listed company earlier this season, latter occasion staying on to grab third in good-class Navan fillies contest over this trip; back from a break and definite place claims again. |
9/1 |

3rd 8 (7) |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Not at best when upped to 1m6f for Ebor Handicap at York (good to form) in August but posted two good efforts over 1m4f before that, the latter in Leopardstown Group 3 (good); well worth another go at this trip and has a decent chance on the figures here. |
4/1 |

15th 14 (13) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win (11 races) was a maiden last June; career-best form on last two outings, though, with tongue-tie joining the other headgear for her fourth of 18 to Ethical Diamond at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and close third of six in a Group 3 at Leopardstown; 7lb claimer is recruited and those last two 1m4f races gave plenty of encouragement for today's first crack at 1m6f, as does being a half-sister to today's rival and last year's Ebor second Kihavah. |
14/1 |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |

Sole win came in a 1m2f maiden last season; career-best when third in valuable 1m2f contest at Kentucky Downs last September; overall Irish form not as encouraging, but another good effort abroad when fourth of 18 in the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes. |

Group 3 winner at Tipperary (7.5f, yielding) at the end of last summer; matched that form when second in 1m Group 3 at the Curragh (soft/heavy) but needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at the Curragh last time. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Improved throughout last season, landing a competitive handicap at Galway over 7f and a Group 3 event at Tipperary before another good effort when fourth in a 1m Group 2 at Longchamp; beaten by stablemate Celestial Orbit in a 7f Group 3 here last month; held by City Of Memphis on running a fortnight ago. |

Twice a winner in France (one on soft) at 1m2f and extended 1m3f; 0-11 this term for current yard but some solid efforts including latest when strong-finishing third in Naas fillies Listed a week ago over this trip (yielding); this looks a better race so more required. |

One of three for yard; rated 94 and shaped nicely when a 3.25l third of 9 in a listed race at Killarney (1m, good) last month; won on soft ground in France and is preferred by McMonagle so has to be considered for yard that won this in 2021 and 2022. |

First five starts on AW at Dundalk, winning twice, including a handicap over an extended 1m2f in March; made a good start to her turf career when fifth in a 1m4f Listed race at Cork in April and a slow start provides an excuse for her lesser effort at Gowran (9.5f) since; back up in trip. |

Some good form in stakes company last year and on third start this term won 1m4f Limerick Listed, improving markedly for the step up in trip; denied a clear run back at 1m2f on latest in Group 3 at the Curragh so certainly not one to rule out back at this trip. |
