2nd 11 (9) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
3yo filly who is unbeaten (6-6) over sprint trips, mostly in Group races, including two at the top level; only narrowly justified favouritism in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently but it's hard to knock her record and there may yet be further advancement in terms of her rating; sire won the July Cup; receives all the allowances and duly warrants respect. |

1st 21 (13) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
5-5 over sprint trips, including 2yo wins at this meeting (C&D, good to firm) and in the Group 1 Prix Morny at Deauville (6f, good); having failed to stay 1m in the 1,000 Guineas, she was dropped back in trip in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock (6f, good to soft) four weeks ago and won in fine style; leading claims. |

1st 8 (3) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Top 6f 2yo, completing a notable hat-trick with wins in Group 3 at Royal Ascot, Group 2 at Newmarket (July) and Group 1 at Deauville (all good/good to firm); seemed fine at 7f (ran on after meeting trouble) when third in the Moyglare at the Curragh (yielding) on her final start but shaped like a non-stayer when stepped up to 1m for 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket on reappearance; remains open to progress back at 6f; leading claims. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Leading 2yo, seeing off America Queen by 1l in the Group 2 Lowther over C&D (good to firm) at last year's Ebor meeting; also had that reopposing rival and Fitzella behind her when third to True Love in the Cheveley Park at Newmarket in the autumn (final start for Ed Walker); raced keenly and faded into a below-form seventh in 6f Newbury Listed race on reappearance for new connections; fitted with a first-time cheekpieces and tongue-tie combination as she bids to bounce back to form with a bang. |
7/1 |

7th 11 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Progressive filly over 6f on good to firm ground last year for Ed Walker, acquitting herself well at Group level after debut win; prevailed in the Lowther at York on penultimate start, then ran well in Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes that was won by the subsequent 1,000 Guineas winner; respected at the weights on debut for new connections. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 8 (9) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
All three runs at 6f on good to firm; went close in the Group 2 Duchess of Cambridge on the July course and she looked a high-class juvenile when quickening well to beat America Queen by 1l in the Group 2 Lowther at York last month; seems highly regarded and could be anything; probably the one to beat. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Listed winner as a 2yo (6f, good to firm); running creditably in defeat this year and has the second highest BHA rating in the field but likely vulnerable to anything progressive. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Useful filly who ran respectably against her elders in the Temple Stakes at Haydock most recently and is one of the main players on ratings back down in grade; capable of taking a serious hand but rather lacks room for progress and is 0-10 since Listed win last June. |
10/1 |

6th 13 (2) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 9lb |
2yo Listed winner at Newmarket last June and has run well when fourth in Group 3/Listed races on her two starts this spring, but she would be a shock winner today. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Highly tried as a 2yo, placed in Listed/Group 3 company before taking advantage of a straightforward opportunity at Wolverhampton 160 days ago (unimpressive at odds of 1-10); cheekpieces return for her seasonal debut. |
7/1 |
|
3 (4) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to win from six attempts but she's run some good races in classy company, including when runner-up in a Group 3 in France (5f, very soft) on her penultimate run; sets a high standard back in much calmer waters and should be hard to beat on this switch to AW. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Listed winner at Newmarket (6f, good) last October; beaten 4.5l into third by Venetian Sun in the Sandy Lane at Haydock on good to soft in May but got a lot closer that rival on quicker ground in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, going down by only a head for a big career best, with reopposing Fitzella fifth; the one to beat. |
9/4 |

2nd 20 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Listed winner at Newmarket (6f, good) last October; respectable efforts this season when midfield in the 1,000 Guineas (1m, good to firm) and third in the Sandy Lane at Haydock (6f, good to soft) but she was no match for the winner Venetian Sun last time and today's task may well be beyond her. |
40/1 |
|
3rd 7 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Proved a useful sprinter last season, notably winning over 5f at Glorious Goodwood in the summer and over 6f at Newmarket (good-ground Listed contest) final outing; finished in front of Venetian Sun when creditable eighth in the 1,000 Guineas on her reappearance; while she shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop back to 6f it remains to be seen whether she can confirm that superiority over Karl Burke's filly at the shorter distance. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Limitations have been rather exposed over 6f, notwithstanding a respectable effort in the Lowther on penultimate start; new trip needs to have positive effect. |
25/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in June on second start; has come up short in Group 2 races on her two starts since (6f, good to firm) but this isn't as hot as the Lowther last time, in which she was fifth, and perhaps she'll be sharper now in first-time cheekpieces; not discounted. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (9) |
21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Built upon the promise of her debut second at Kempton (6f, AW) to win in good style at Newmarket (6f, good to firm); however, she's since been well beaten behind two of these in the Group 2 Duchess of Cambridge at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) and has plenty to prove on the back of that. |
