18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Course 7f maiden winner at two (soft to heavy); took a big step forward to win in the Listed Oaks Trial at Lingfield (good to firm) on her sixth start, and her first run beyond 1m; appeared to have a good chance of staying the Oaks trip, but faded from over two furlongs down; limitations evident at Naas. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 84y |
9st 2lb |
Curragh 7f maiden winner at two (soft to heavy); took a big step forward with a convincing win in the Listed Oaks Trial at Lingfield (good to firm) last month on her sixth start, and her first run beyond 1m; appeared to have a good chance of staying the Oaks trip, but faded from over two furlongs down; will be hard to beat if the race has not left a mark. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
7f maiden winner (soft to heavy) who took a big step forward with a convincing win in the Listed Oaks Trial at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) last month on her sixth start, which was her first run beyond 1m; Ryan Moore was on board last time and rides stablemate Amelia Earhart this afternoon, but she was certainly impressive at Lingfield and is unexposed at the trip; chance. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
8st 9lb |
3yo who was a Listed winner at Naas (10.3f, good) in May when upped in trip and went close in the Group 3 Jannah Rose Stakes there (10.3f, good) ten days ago, when 5l clear of the third; needs to prove her stamina for this new distance but she might be far away if seeing it out. |

2nd 2 (3) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 84y |
9st 2lb |
Winner and Listed-placed over 7f at two; hooded when disappointing in Guineas trial over that trip on comeback; made some late progress in a 1m Group 3 at the Curragh; much-improved only five days later when beating La Fogata in a Listed contest over C&D. |

1st 1 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 84y |
9st 2lb |
Winner and Listed-placed over 7f at two; hooded when disappointing in Guineas trial over that trip on comeback; despite it being her sixth run, still looked raw when 50-1 for 1m Group 3 at the Curragh on Monday, off the bridle at halfway before making some late gains; 1m2f should suit, but not sure she'll be quick enough to cope with some of these. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 200y |
8st 10lb |
Group-placed 2yo winner last year who has finished last in all three runs this term, most recently Group 3 Munster Oaks (two of today's rivals ahead). |
25/1 |
|
9th 9 (1) |
14th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
8st 8lb |
Maiden winner here and Group 3-placed over 1m on heavy in the autumn; reportedly showed signs of coming into season when 26l behind on Group 3 seasonal return at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding); few apparent excuses when 18.5l behind in a Naas Listed contest last time (10.5f, good); holds an Irish Oaks entry, but Bloom is more appealing of trainer's two; blinkers on. |
40/1 |
|
7th 3 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 84y |
9st 2lb |
Winner and Group 3-placed over 1m on heavy in the autumn; forget about her run at Navan a fortnight ago (found to be showing signs of coming into season), but what was significant was that Moore picked her over 10lb higher-rated stablemate (who, admittedly, also ran poorly); pedigree implies she can improve at this trip and entered in both Oaks. |

21st Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Not a bad debut first effort when fifth of nine at Punchestown; can be rated a likely future winner on her Cork run three weeks ago, when she split two Ballydoyle-trained fillies; the third franked the form with a nursery win at Leopardstown on Saturday; cheekpieces fitted; faces a tough task against winners. |

It wasn't a bad debut when fifth of nine at Punchestown but doesn't appeal as a likely winner of this. |

E21,000 yearling; fifth foal; sister to a French AW 2yo/US turf stakes winner Venenica, half-sister to a French winner Pop Life (inc AW); dam won in France; likely to need experience. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 84y |
9st 2lb |
Useful form over 1m as a juvenile; beaten 5l in a six-runner Curragh Group 3, won a Punchestown maiden; heavy ground a possible excuse for a poor run on final start for Ger Lyons; finished in front of well-fancied stablemate Eretria when second to Caught U Sleeping (levels) over C&D on first outing for this team; another solid run at Navan last time. |

8st 12lb |
Useful form over 1m as a juvenile; beaten 5l in a six-runner Curragh Group 3, strong at the line when landing Punchestown maiden; heavy ground a possible excuse for a poor run on final start for Ger Lyons; finished in front of well-fancied stablemate Eretria when second in a Listed race over an extended 1m2f at Naas on first outing for this team. |

2nd 4 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 84y |

Last three juvenile starts were all over 1m; beaten 5l in six-runner Curragh Group 3, strong at the line when landing Punchestown maiden, then weak in the market when last of eight in another Curragh Group 3 (heavy ground a possible excuse); with Ger Lyons at two, has changed hands and now starts off for Eretria's trainer; entered in both Oaks and dam was Stakes-class at up to 1m6f. |

Course 7f maiden winner last September; found wanting in a Group 3 race on heavy ground on final start; down the field when one of the main fancies for her handicap debut at this venue; questions to answer. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Third in Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster last September and readily made all in Group 3 here in October; fourth of five behind Amelia Earhart at Chester on reappearance, reversed form with her disappointing stablemate when third at Epsom, weakened late, beaten almost 10l; first-time cheekpieces. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Third in Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last September and readily made all in Group 3 Staffordstown Stud Stakes at the Curragh (1m, heavy) in October; she could improve for last month's comeback run in the Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good) but has work to do with stablemate Amelia Earhart and A La Prochaine on that form; others preferred. |
20/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 75y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Well-bred filly whose 2yo campaign was bookended by Curragh wins, latest comfortably in Group 3 contest over 1m on heavy ground; the form pick even with a 5lb penalty, albeit some of today's rivals (including stablemate Amelia Earhart) could reach or surpass her level. |

By Frankel, dam Thundering Nights won this event in 2021; Group 3-placed on second start at two; beaten favourite in a maiden on seasonal debut before comfortable win in a Group 3 at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding) in April; confidently ridden before taking full command in the final furlong in the Oaks; will be hard to beat if the ground is not too quick. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |

By Frankel and dam won the 1m2f Group 1 Pretty Polly for connections; she's improved with each of her four starts and comfortably won the Group 3 Salsabil Stakes at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding) in April when upped in trip; has shown promise on heavy ground; powered clear in the final furlong last time, providing hope that she will stay 1m4f, and she's one to consider. |
