24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 110y |
9st 2lb |
Last year's top-rated filly worldwide; won the Cheshire Oaks, the Classics at Epsom and the Curragh and the Yorkshire Oaks; at least matched her best effort when touched off by Daryz on soft in the Arc, well clear of the remainder; perhaps one race too many when underwhelming at the Breeders' Cup; picked up smoothly to win a Group 2 by 1.75l here on seasonal return (1m2f, good); this is a bigger task, and it's not unfair to say her ideal trip is further than this, but she's the most likely winner. |

Last year's leading middle-distance 3yo filly; won the Cheshire Oaks, the Classics at Epsom and the Curragh and the Yorkshire Oaks, and at least matched her best effort when touched off by Daryz on soft in the Arc, well clear of the remainder; form significantly boosted before season's end; possibly one race too many when sixth in the Breeders' Cup Turf; 1m2f trip is a mild concern; won over 1m at two. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Unbeaten in four races as 2yo, by an aggregate of almost 17l and culminating in Group 1 Fillies' Mile (good to soft; unraced on softer); evens when she reappeared for the 1,000 Guineas back at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) and she made all, strongly challenged but pulling 1l clear; shapes as if sure to stay beyond 1m, even though she's by the miler Night Of Thunder and her smart dam looked best up to 1m1f; the proven class act in this field but with stamina for 1m4f the big question. |

Godolphin filly whose unbeaten 2yo campaign comprised four wins by an aggregate of almost 17l, the last two in the May Hill at Doncaster (good) and Group 1 Fillies' Mile at this venue (good to soft); sparkled in a racecourse gallop here last month and commands major respect. |

9st 2lb |
Last season's best performances came in Group 1s when runner-up in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh (1m4f, good) and very close fourth in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft); flopped on last month's reappearance at Cork, which is disconcerting, but she's a leading player if leaving that performance behind in first-time cheekpieces. |

Won a Navan 1m2f Listed race on soft last year; loads of good runs in defeat after in Group 1s up to 1m4f including in Oaks/Irish Oaks and a French Group 1; is ground-versatile and rated 110 so is the one to beat if ready enough on return. |

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. |

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. |

23rd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 100y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
0-7 since winning on 2yo debut in October 2024 but she finished close-up in a few Listed/Group 3 races last season (1m2f-1m4f, various ground) and she might be the type to improve with age; not ruled out on reappearance. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Sole 2yo race was a heavy-ground win in October; short-headed in 1m2f Listed race here in May on reappearance, the first of three seconds this season and one of those was on "very soft" ground over 10.5f in France (the only time she's worn cheekpieces); Newmarket (1m4f Group 3) four weeks ago saw her first Group-race assignment since the Oaks and she ran well this time, in third, but much better is nevertheless required today in the returning headgear. |

Beaten a head by Miss Justice at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and posted another close Listed second at Longchamp (10.5f, very soft) three weeks ago; has hinted today's step back up in trip could prompt further improvement and this 3yo is one to consider. |

Ran well in the 1,000 Guineas over C&D (good to firm) on only her second start, then looked a non-stayer in the Oaks; no apparent excuses in another Group 1 last time but this drop back in class gives her a major chance. |

11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Successful in sole 2yo start; pitched into Classics this season, good fourth in the 1,000 Guineas (good to firm) then non-stayer in the Oaks; bred to do better yet, being by Dubawi out of a Group 1 scorer, and looks interesting dropped back to 1m with further progress still plausible. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |

By Dubawi out of very smart mare who was unraced beyond 1m2f; justified 4-6 favouritism in novice at Kempton (7f, AW) last August; that was her solitary race until 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in which she was a weak 22-1 but always prominent to finish fourth of ten, just over 2l behind Desert Flower; this is 1m4f but going up to at least 1m2f should suit and, after just two races, she should still have significant potential. |

Dictated the pace and held on narrowly in Listed event at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) in May and five-runner Group 2 at Longchamp (1m4f, good to soft) in July; upset a hot favourite in the latter and perhaps being unable to make the running played against her when well beaten in the Oaks in between, with the Epsom track another excuse, but she still has huge work to do if she's to turn the tables on Minnie Hauk. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |

By Pinatubo out of a 1m4f winner from classy family; unraced on softer than good; won second start as 2yo; placed in Listed events on next two outings before making all at that level in a ten-runner race at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm; raced freely) three weeks ago, hanging on by a short head from Revoir; faces another 2f here and keeping Revoir at bay may prove tricky, let alone finding the improvement she needs to beat all the rest as well. |

2-2 (1m/1m2f, AW) before third to subsequent Oaks runner-up Whirl in Group 3 Musidora (10.2f, good to firm; Serenity Prayer a neck ahead in second); well beaten herself in the Oaks but perhaps the slow ground and/or track didn't suit; top stable (runs three) has fine record in this race and she retains potential; not written off in first-time headgear. |

By Night Of Thunder out of a Lingfield Oaks Trial winner; winning novice events at Lingfield (1m/1m2f, AW) on first two starts showed plenty of promise, which she followed with third of six in the Group 3 Musidora at York (10.3f, good to firm; weak 9-1) 23 days ago; may be able to improve again but Whirl left her nearly 6l behind at York. |

14th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |

Oaks entry who left a positive impression with her novice wins at Lingfield (AW) in December and 16 days ago, overcoming a slow start on first occasion and always prominent when well on top at 2-11 last time; has much more to do in this line-up but her stable is the dominant one in this race. |
