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. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Secured back-to-back Group 2 Middleton wins at York (10.5f, good to firm/good) last month; went very close to making Group 1 breakthrough in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft) last October but beaten just over 4l by Ombudsman when third in this last year (good to firm) and it's likely that her limitations will again be exposed today. |

1st 5 (4) |
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. |

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. |
