10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Lingfield Oaks Trial winner (11.6f, good to firm; well on top from Prizeland) in May who subsequently found the Oaks and Irish Oaks much too hot but was also rather put in her place in two Irish Group 3s, latterly at 1m4f; plenty to find but this new trip may well be a positive. |

6th 7 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Lingfield Oaks Trial (11.5f, good to firm) winner in May; hasn't gone on from that, well-held in Epsom and Irish Oaks in between being beaten 5.25l in Naas Group 3 (Caught U Sleeping, second); needs more. |

8th 3 (1) |
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. |

5th Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 50y |
9st 3lb |
Smart filly with Listed honours on the board and has been holding her own in Group races, latterly not getting the best of runs when fourth at Gowran (tried cheekpieces; now removed); returning to further looks a good move. |
8/1 |

4th 7 (5) |
19th Sep 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 100y |

Listed winner over 10.5f at Naas and nearly won five-runner Group 3 back there next time; solid efforts in 1m4f Group 3 contests since; headgear. |

Gowran Park maiden winner on heavy and Group 3-placed as a 2yo; has finished last on all five starts this term; cheekpieces on now in a bid to reverse her sharp decline. |

8th 9 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |

Gowran Park maiden winner on heavy and Group 3 placed as a 2yo; finished last on all four starts this term and probably destined for pacemaking duties. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 200y |

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 |
9st 2lb |
It wasn't a bad debut when fifth of nine at Punchestown but doesn't appeal as a likely winner of this. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 30y |
9st 2lb |
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 |
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. |

Down Royal 7f maiden winner last September; found wanting in a Group 3 race on heavy ground on final start; down the field in a couple of valuable handicaps this year and questions to answer now. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Made most when about 10l third in the Oaks at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft) but that's seemingly only lined her up for front-running duties at best since; moving into such a big lead set up an exciting finish to the Yorkshire Oaks but only while she subsided into seventh; huge outsider again. |
100/1 |
|
7th 9 (5) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
2yo Group 3 winner on heavy who was 6l behind Legacy Link when third in the Oaks at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft) this June; tailed off when 20-1 in Irish Oaks (made most) last time, which was her first run both on good to firm and in cheekpieces; likely to have neither of those today but she is comfortably bottom of this pack on ratings; could have front-running duties. |
100/1 |
|
10th 10 (11) |
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. |

9st 5lb |
Much improved when running away with Epsom Oaks (good-to-soft) in June but unable to follow up later in month on faster ground in Pretty Polly over today's C&D, found to be coughing after finishing fourth (Red Letter third), having travelled well into race but weakening late; had time off since and easier ground sure to suit. |
6/4 |

4th 9 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 0lb |
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. |
