31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
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 |
9st 0lb |
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. |

2nd 9 (9) |
6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
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. |

9st 2lb |
Third in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, 1 3/4l off runner-up California Dreamer; sprang 33-1 success surprise in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot; no match for the front-running Whirl when stepped up 1m2f in the Nassau; coped well considering she was the outsider of five and running on ground that contrasted sharply with the quick surface she enjoyed at Royal Ascot. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Pulverised her seven rivals in this on her second outing of last season, scoring by a whopping 12l on good to firm; couldn't quite reproduce that high-class RPR at Group 1 level in five subsequent outings in 2025 but mostly ran well, including a close second in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, soft); didn't have much to spare at the line when 1-3 for a 1m2f Nottingham Listed race on reappearance but cruised through most of that contest and will likely be a lot closer to her best this time; again the one to beat in this. |
6/5 |

1st 5 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Smart filly who is a Group 3 and Group 2 winner at York (1m1f/1m2f); has plenty of Group 1 form, including placed efforts at Royal Ascot (against males) and Longchamp (close second) last season; takes on some unexposed and interesting rivals but sets a high standard for them to aim at; respected back down sharply in class. |
2/5 |

4th 4 (2) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Made it 2-2 here when bolting up in the Group 2 Middleton Fillies' Stakes over C&D (good to firm) in May, and heavy ground excuses her below-par run in the Nassau three weeks ago; in between she was no match for Ombudsman in the Group 1 Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) and, while the return to York offers some hope, a career best is necessary. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
4-12 overall and best form when placed in Group 1s at Chantilly (10.5f, good to soft) this June and Longchamp (1m4f, good to soft) in September; well beaten trying to come from the back over 1m6f at Longchamp two weeks ago, when more testing ground may also have been a negative; that's best forgiven and she has an each-way chance if bouncing back. |
10/1 |

4th 3 (3) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Listed, Group 3 and Group 2 wins (including on fast ground) during last season's 2yo campaign and she tapped back into that promise, and more, with a close second in the Group 1 Prix de Diane at Chantilly (10.5f, good to soft) last month; further improvement is needed today and Ryan Moore rides stablemate Whirl, but she can give another good account and is not ruled out. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Mercurial mare who is smart on her day; won 1m Group 2 at Royal Ascot and finished a close second in the Group 1 Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft) last year; the effect of the cheekpieces that prompted an improved fourth when bidding to retain her Ascot crown has worn off the last twice, though, including when a surprise market mover but beaten 24l in the Group 1 Nassau (1m2f, heavy) last time; wins nothing on that form, and the widest stall is not helpful, but she'd be a big threat if first-time blinkers fire her up. |
11/4 |

31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Won the Group 2 Duke of Cambridge at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June and went close in the Group 1 Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft); respectable fourth back at Royal Ascot last month but she hasn't been at her very best this season and looks vulnerable today; can lead. |
25/1 |

4 (5) |
11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Ran creditably in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) when bidding for a second win in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes but finished behind two of today's rivals and there seems no obvious reason why she should reverse the placings; ran as if something was amiss in this contest last year. |
