9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Wootton Bassett half-sister to a 1m4f Listed winner; won 7f maiden at the Curragh before below-form favourite in a 1m Group 3 later in October; fifth of ten in another 1m Group 3 there on reappearance was her best form and suggested she's a middle-distance filly; those last three runs were in the mud, which is most unlikely here, but another step forward otherwise looks assured; Ryan Moore rides her for the first time. |

3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Progressive in maidens last season, coping well with testing ground when landing 7f maiden at this track on third run by 2.25l in October; below that level when last seen 164 days ago, beaten 10.5l into fourth in Group 3 as 2-1 favourite; second string for stable. |

21st Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |

Stepped up from debut over 7f at Cork when close up in third behind today's rival La Fogata over this trip at Punchestown; handled very soft ground effectively when making all for an emphatic win from a stable newcomer in a 7f maiden here early in the month; rider making a big impression for stable. |

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 3 (10) |
4th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Overcame inexperience when making a winning debut in a 7f fillies' maiden at Naas last August; kept on for third behind the subsequent Prix Marcel Boussac winner Diamond Necklace in a C&D Listed race; ran poorly over 1m on heavy on final start; in front of below-par Black Caviar Gold on seasonal debut. |

Overcame inexperience when making a winning debut in a 7f fillies' maiden at Naas last August; kept on for third behind the subsequent Prix Marcel Boussac winner Diamond Necklace in a C&D Listed race; ran poorly over 1m on heavy on final start; hooded now. |

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. |

|
7th 5 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 40y |
9st 2lb |
Had a troubled run on debut; put that behind her when landing the odds in a 1m maiden at Gowran last September; ground was testing then, and same when she was third in a 1m Group 3 race at the Curragh in October; pedigree implies she can improve at this trip; Ryan Moore prefers her to Minerva who is rated 10lb superior (official and RPR figures). |
3/1 |

21st Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Failed to do herself justice at this venue on debut after meeting some trouble in running; put that behind her when landing the odds in a 1m contest at Gowran a month ago; faces much steeper opposition now, but she handled testing conditions, gets the trip and can win more races as she matures. |

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. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

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. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 84y |
9st 2lb |
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. |
10/1 |
|

21st Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Fourth of eight on debut in a 7f maiden at Leopardstown; emerged with credit from an ambitious 7f Group 3 attempt at this venue; lost her place three furlongs out and had plenty to do before rallying to finish fourth of six; finished strongly from off the pace to win a 1m maiden at Punchestown; not certain to uphold form with third-placed Cameo. |

E130,000 yearling; not beaten far when fourth of eight on debut in a 7f maiden at Leopardstown; emerged with credit from an ambitious Group 3 attempt at the Curragh; lost her place three furlongs out and had plenty to do before rallying to finish fourth of six; extra furlong should suit. |

Down Royal maiden winner last September; found wanting in a Group 3 race on heavy ground on final start; Oisin Murphy booked for handicap/seasonal debut. |

21st Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Made a pleasing debut when third in a 6f at conditions race at Cork; had little trouble winning over at Down Royal and should stay the extra furlong; useful prospect, but stablemate Caught U Sleeping has stronger credentials. |
14/1 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 26y |
9st 0lb |
By the leading first-season sire and comes from a quality damline; ran a cracker on debut over 6f at Cork in a conditions race; shaped as though she would stay this trip so is on the shortlist today with Keane aboard. |

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. |
10/1 |
|
7 (8) |
21st Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Won a 7f maiden at this venue on debut; has run in three Pattern races since then; disappointing favourite over C&D (3/4l behind fourth-placed La Fogata) before fine effort in third behind Aylin in the May Hill at Doncaster; out of her depth in the Fillies' Mile won by stablemate Precise; big chance in this company if handling the ground. |
9/4 |

10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Good third in the May Hill at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) most recently, bouncing back from her disappointing effort in the Curragh race won by Queen Of Hawaii; bred to do better still, being from an excellent family. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 40y |
9st 2lb |
Frankel filly, whose dam won the 1m2f Pretty Polly for this stable; fine effort on second juvenile start when second in 1m Group 3 at the Curragh, 4 3/4l in front of third-placed Ice Dancer; touched off in a 1m maiden at Leopardstown 13 days ago; trip will suit, stable in terrific form; could feature here despite her maiden status. |
4/1 |

2nd 16 (5) |
12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Frankel filly, whose dam won the 1m2f Pretty Polly for this stable; both juvenile runs came at the Curragh in October on testing ground, on second occasion staying on well into a clear second in Group 3 Staffordstown Stud Stakes over this trip; will thrive over mid-distances in time but can make her mark at 1m; could prove the one to beat if handling this better ground. |
13/8 |
|
8 (5) |
21st Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |

Frankel filly out of a 1m2f Group 1 winner for this stable; beaten 4 1/4l in fourth behind Cameo on debut; looks capable of winning races. |
