10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Splendidly tough juvenile filly who got up late to bag the valuable Super Sprint (5f, good) in July and took her form to a new level when gamely landing the Group 3 Dick Poole at Salisbury (6f, soft) in September; couldn't make a dent in Group 1 Cheveley Park on her final start of the term but that's easily excused and she's a fascinating candidate on this reappearance/AW debut. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Splendidly tough type who won the Super Sprint (5f, good) in the summer and took her form to a new level when gamely landing the Group 3 Dick Poole at Salisbury (6f, soft) two weeks ago; keeps finding more but this assignment demands another personal best, and by some way. |

One of six of these in the Cheveley Park; four-time winner at 5f and both her defeats have come at 6f; however, it wasn't the trip that beat her in a valuable sales race at York as she appeared to get outpaced before keeping on; has Listed/Super Sprint honours to her name and some course form also ticks a box. |

Below par in sole start on softer than good; 2yo form otherwise featured a 6f maiden win and two good efforts at Group level, namely second in the Albany at Royal Ascot and fourth in the Rockfel over C&D; could go well. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Soft ground provides an excuse for Salisbury Group 3 flop in latest 6f start; enters the reckoning on her peak effort, namely second in the Albany at Royal Ascot, and this new trip is well worth exploring. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All races at 6f, winning a Newbury fillies' maiden last August before being highly tried on her next two starts; disappointing on her seasonal/handicap debut at Southwell last month; drops to 5f on a recovery mission. |
12/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All starts at 6f; won August Newbury maiden (good; form worked out) on her second start and highly tried in two subsequent runs, when down the field in Polytrack Group 3 and Newmarket Listed event; drops in grade for this seasonal/handicap debut and very interesting to see how she goes in the market. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Left her debut form behind when scoring at Newbury (6f, good) in August but that was a narrow success and she found things tough in a Group 3 at Kempton (33-1) last month; this is another tough assignment back on turf and others are preferred. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

A fairly useful 5f winner at 2yrs; not disgraced after six months off when a close eighth of 14 in 5f Listed race at Bath last month but this requires more. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 (14) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Won a Chepstow maiden on her second start; big step forward when second of 23 in the Group 2 Queen Mary at Royal Ascot 11 days later; no progress afterwards but today's return to 5f should be in her favour. |
10/1 |

7th 12 (6) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Second of 23 in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); hasn't kicked on from that but her subsequent performances in a Group 3 at Ascot (6f, good; fifth) and a Listed race at Newbury (5f, good; close third) still put her in the picture today; soft ground may not have suited last time. |

Not disgraced in Listed event at Newmarket (6f) on final 2yo start but remains possibly flattered by the figure she appeared to record here when sixth in the Cheveley Park Stakes and, on balance, faces a difficult task in this field. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Made a promising start with wins at Beverley (5f, good to firm) and York (6f, good) in July; probably raced on wrong part of the track when down the field in Group 3 at Salisbury and she bounced back with a sixth of nine in Group 1 Cheveley Park over C&D last month; seemed to resume her progress with that creditable effort and she's respected on this drop back in class. |

9st 2lb |
Won on the July course in the summer and seemed suited by the drop back in distance when beaten only by Anthelia in Salisbury Group 3 (6f, soft; also handles good to firm) two weeks ago; should run her race but faces a stern assignment on form. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Hasn't really kicked on since creating a very favourable impression in a 7f maiden at Newmarket in July; however, she's held in some regard by her top yard (in the Cheveley Park) and, having raced freely in her races, this drop back to 6f might benefit. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

0-11 but she went close when beaten a neck in Newbury Listed race in August; similar form when seventh to Revival Power in Doncaster Group 2 in September and when sixth of 14 in Bath Listed event (also 5f, good) on last month's return; likely to find a few too good again. |
50/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Failed to win in her ten 2yo starts but she was often highly tried, running her best race when second of 11 in a Listed event at Newbury (5f, good); looks to face another stiff task on her reappearance. |
33/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Eight-race maiden; no impact in Group 2 at Doncaster and a Group 3 here (both at 5f) in last two starts but she went close in a Listed race at Newbury (5f, good) in August; that form puts her in the picture and she looks worth another try at this trip; yard also runs Splish Splash. |

The horse she narrowly defied at Goodwood (6f, good) was well behind Reimagined on her debut but this filly won that day in spite of getting no cover and her yard won this with a once-raced winner 12 months ago; respected. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Third foal; half-sister to 6f/1m AW winner Storm Star (RPR 106); dam 6f/7f winner (including 2yo/Group 3; 113), half-sister to winners Foxtrot Lady (7f Group 3) and Dance Of Fire (useful 1m-1m2f including 2yo), is granddaughter of Nunthorpe winner Lochangel; plenty to like on paper and yard is 20% with 2yos this season. |

£85,000 breeze-up buy; won on Nottingham debut (5f, good to soft) in July but that was a narrow success and she struggled in a Group 3 at Salisbury (6f, soft) last month; this looks as tough as that last event and others are preferred. |

Verdict
Being a Royal Ascot runner-up who has strong form and may rate higher still, AWAKEN holds a particularly good chance. Planet Seeker (second choice) is an interesting contender for owner Jeff Smith, while a few others also have potential. Flowerhead is a major player on her best figures.[Steve Boow]
