9st 7lb |
Ran well in defeat three times in Listed company in 2025 before bagging a win at that level, the Ruby Stakes at Killarney (1m); was poor in testing ground behind Faiyum when last seen; has to be at her best on return to get involved. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 7lb |
Second runner for yard; won a C&D maiden in 2024; gained a deserved Listed success at Killarney over 1m last time after some solid runs in defeat at that level; has run well over C&D but the forecast testing ground is a concern. |

Won Gowran maiden (9.5f, good) last summer on yard debut and ran well in three starts in Listed company earlier this season, latter occasion staying on to grab third in good-class Navan fillies contest over this trip; back from a break and definite place claims again. |

9st 7lb |
Gained first win at stakes level when taking a Listed fillies' event at Navan last month (1m, good); found wanting in a deeper race over 1m here on Irish Derby weekend next time; resumed winning ways when landing a Group 3 at Leopardstown last time (7f, good), however, the proximity of an 83-rated rival (1l) to her takes the sheen off the form a bit. |

9st 9lb |
Decent overall form since fourth in this race 12 months ago; gained first win at stakes level when taking a Listed fillies' event at Navan last month; seemed to appreciate the step up to 1m that day, but was found wanting in a deeper race at the Curragh on Irish Derby weekend. |

Gained first win at stakes level when taking a Listed fillies' heat at Naas three weeks ago (1m, good); seemed to appreciate the step up to 1m that day, but will need to improve again to make her presence felt in this deeper race. |

Twice a winner in France (one on soft) at 1m2f and extended 1m3f; 0-11 this term for current yard but some solid efforts including latest when strong-finishing third in Naas fillies Listed a week ago over this trip (yielding); this looks a better race so more required. |

Twice a winner in France (one on soft) at 1m2f and extended 1m3f; 0-10 this term for current yard, appearing a bit one-paced back at today's trip last two times on heavy; looks to have a bit to find. |

One of three for yard; rated 94 and shaped nicely when a 3.25l third of 9 in a listed race at Killarney (1m, good) last month; won on soft ground in France and is preferred by McMonagle so has to be considered for yard that won this in 2021 and 2022. |

9st 2lb |
Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf fourth last year; has not matched that form this term but run well in defeat, notably Killarney Listed second (soft); not at that level in similar contest on latest however and bit to prove now but major claims if back to her best. |

8st 12lb |
Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf fourth last year; has not matched that form this term but has continued to run well in defeat, including second C&D fillies Listed last month on soft; may not have handled the track at Galway last time but entitled to be in the mix on overall form. |

Juvenile career ended on a high when fourth in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar (1m, firm); has not matched that form but has continued to run well in defeat; a four-time runner-up (three Group 3s and a Listed); high draw is a concern, but otherwise has plenty going for her. |

Last of five wins was in 2023; not the force he was, though has run well at times; fair third of eight in a Killarney handicap last month but well beaten in a premier Galway handicap last time (1m1f, yielding); others preferred. |

Last of five wins was in 2023 when he ran well in a Group 3 at Leopardstown and a Listed contest at Killarney; not the force he was, though he has run well from time to time, including when sixth of 14 at 80-1 in this race last year; fair third at Killarney last time; valuable 5lb claimed, could go well at a decent price. |

Latest of five wins was in the 2023 renewal of this event, after which he ran well in a Group 3 at Leopardstown and a Listed contest over C&D; not the same force nowadays and has come down a good bit in the ratings; was still capable of good form last year; not at his best on AW in the spring and back from a break here. |

Sent off at 66-1 in 1m2f maiden here on debut but far from disgraced finishing seventh of 19, 10.5l behind the winner; stayed on well so not sure this drop back in trip will suit but worth watching with a view to the future. |
