19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
8st 9lb |
Musselburgh maiden winner (1m4f, good to soft) who was third in a hot running of the Listed Cheshire Oaks in May (11.3f, good); well beaten in Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) but failed to settle and, in view of the penultimate form, is not ruled out now back down in grade. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Second to Lady Vivian in Southwell maiden (1m4f, AW) in March on third start then easily won Musselburgh maiden (12.4f, good to soft); improved again when third in Listed Cheshire Oaks (11.3f, good); mixed messages from that form with Minnie Hauk following up in the Oaks but the runner-up being unplaced in French Group 3; this stiffer stamina test can suit; not ruled out. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't make the track at two; quickly established herself as a smart filly last year and she went off favourite when third in the Ribblesdale (1m4f, good to firm) at this meeting; campaigned at 1m this term and she made Listed-race breakthrough at Leopardstown (good) against males last month; that was just her fifth start and it's likely there is better to come. |

1st 8 (5) |
10th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Won 1m2f filles' maiden here on debut (good); subsequently placed in Navan Group 3 (1m2f, soft) and in Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes at Ascot (1m4f, gd-fm) when the 2-1 favourite; testing ground may not have suited on seasonal return in the Park Express at the Curragh (1m, sft-hvy); should improve for that and yard red-hot, but needs to prove effectiveness for this trip. |

Reached a very useful level in three starts last season, landing 1m2f Leopardstown maiden before beaten 2.75l into second in Group 3 at Navan; stepped up in trip and beaten 2-1 favourite when third in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Ascot when last seen 288 days ago; open to further improvement; acts on soft; yard won this last year; trip may be a bit sharp on return. |

Sole win came in Tipperary 2yo maiden but career-best on seasonal return when second in Group 3 Park Express Stakes (1m, good) at the Curragh in April; 1m4f seemed beyond her in Group 2 Ribblesdale on latest and now reverts to 1m; claims. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win from seven starts came in Tipperary maiden last year and on the face of it she's down the Ballydoyle pecking order; soundly beaten when Listed fifth at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last time but she didn't enjoy a clear run and her pedigree suggests she will relish this step up in trip, with her dam having won this race for connections in 2018; stayed on well for second in Group 3 Park Express Stakes (1m, good) in April; interesting outsider. |
12/1 |

17th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |

Seems some way down the pecking order at Ballydoyle but is a useful sort all the same, having performed well in Curragh Group 3 on reappearance; soft ground provides an excuse for lesser effort later in April; leading player on ratings. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won 10.5f Listed race in May and followed that by taking the Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) by just over 3l, going away; those improved efforts came with steps up in trip and she could have more to give at 1m4f+, if bouncing back from her flop on soft ground in Germany 18 days ago; stablemate Minnie Hauk has much better form, though. |
16/1 |
|
4 (5) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins from eight starts and opposable on the majority of her form but she took a big step forward when upped to 10.3f at Naas (good) latest, keeping on well to win that Listed race by 1l and shaping as though 1m4f could prompt further improvement; Ryan Moore's mount of the Ballydoyle three and trainer/jockey have combined to win the last two runnings; respected. |

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. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
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. |
50/1 |

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. |

Lightly raced 4yo won 7f course maiden on debut in September 2024; well held in four runs last year in good-class company; return to AW could spark a revival on handicap debut but it will need to. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |

Kept on well to win at Dundalk (7f, AW) last September on sole 2yo start and may have needed her comeback run at Naas (10.3f, good; Listed) last month, when sixth of eight behind Garden Of Eden; unexposed and bred to be suited by 1m4f but has plenty to find in today's company. |

8st 11lb |
4yo filly whose two wins came last spring in a Southwell maiden (1m4f, AW) and Chester handicap (1m4f, good); struggled on soft ground in a 1m6f Listed race at Musselburgh this April and although she ran well when Listed fourth over 1m3f at Baden-Baden (good to soft) four weeks ago, she faded and didn't look to be crying out for this far; has a bit to find. |
14/1 |

5th 6 (3) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Maiden and front-running handicap winner last spring, who found her one Group and two Listed assignments much harder afterwards but those were her best form; all those were at about 1m4f but her second from off the pace at Toulouse on final outing gave hope for this longer trip; improvement needed. |
12/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |

Had 1m4f wins in the spring in a maiden at Southwell (AW) and handicap at Chester (good); 11-1 for Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) two months ago, racing a bit freely and never threatening in seventh of 11 but that is her best form; might still be able to build on that. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Progressive filly who finished second in the Listed Pretty Polly at Newmarket (good to firm) in May; went close in a Deauville Group 3 (also 1m2f, good) last time; untried on a softer surface but she's a big player; one of three for a yard that has won three of the last nine renewals. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has raced three times and improved when upped to 1m2f at Newmarket (good to firm) latest, beaten about 3l when second in that Listed contest; the winner is a top prospect and the third won a Listed race next time; shaped as though 1m4f could be a good fit and she's firmly in calculations for a top stable which has a prolific record in this race and runs three this time. |

8st 13lb |
Won debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) in April and runner-up in Group 3 Musidora at York (10.2f, good to firm) in May; not far off the latter form when she tried 1m4f in the Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (good to firm) but that sixth of 11 was rather disappointing for the second favourite; she didn't see it out that well either but her dam was Group 3 winner at 1m6f. |

Won on debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) in April and runner-up in the Group 3 Musidora (10.2f, good to firm) last month; no match for the winner at York but that was Whirl, who has since gone very close in the Oaks; very much shaped last time as though she would benefit from today's longer trip and this well-bred contender is on the shortlist. |

By Dubawi; dam 7f-1m6f winner (including Group 3; RPR 104), who is sister to 1,000 Guineas and Oaks winner Love; joint-favourite, asserted in clearcut fashion in eight-runner maiden at Newbury (1m2f, good) nearly five weeks ago; shoots up in class but looks an excellent prospect. |

8st 12lb |
Runner-up in the Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) in June and, while that form hasn't worked out, the Group 3 in which she was fourth at Deauville (1m4f, good to soft) last month has been boosted by the subsequent exploits of the runner-up/fifth; could be a contender. |

Made debut in May and won at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on second start before very creditable second at 40-1 in the Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm), albeit no match for the winner; every chance she'll continue to progress and she has leading form claims now back down in grade. |
