Four-time winner on AW; 0-6 on turf but had performed well on her last two starts; 66-1, made much of the running when second of 12 in a 1m Group 2 at this venue last month, with One Look in fourth; raced prominently before fading into fifth (of 15) in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot; suited by quick ground.

Four-time winner on AW but it was a personal best tackling turf for the fifth time when 66-1 second of 12 in Curragh Group 2 (1m, good; Jancis fifth, Francophone behind) 24 days ago; had a fairly soft lead that day, so it will be interesting to see if she can back it up under Ryan Moore.

Third in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, 1 3/4l off runner-up California Dreamer; sprang 33-1 success surprise in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot; no match for the front-running Whirl when stepped up 1m2f in the Nassau; coped well considering she was the outsider of five and running on ground that contrasted sharply with the quick surface she enjoyed at Royal Ascot.

Won three of four starts last season, including a C&D Group 3 by 7l on heavy ground; also placed in a Naas Group 3 on good ground; solid return when a 2.5l third in the 1m Park Express at the Curragh last month; step back up to this trip a plus and should be too good for these, even giving weight away.

Very smart mare who defied a penalty in Group 3 at Newbury (1m4f; beat West Wind Blows by a neck) on seasonal debut, taking record since wearing cheekpieces to 2-3 and running right up to her best; strong record at Ascot features wins in the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes for the last two years (soft/good) and an excellent second in the 2025 King George; avoids a Group 1 penalty in this race and has a major chance at the weights.

1m4f Group 1 wins last summer in the Oaks, Irish Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks (good to soft-good to firm) before taking on males in the Arc at Longchamp (1m4f, very soft) and finishing a clear second to Daryz, beaten just a head; reappeared with a Group 2 win at the Curragh (1m2f, good) and, while she has something to prove after a disappointing run there in the Tattersalls Gold Cup (10.5f, good), she may well be in the mix if she's back to her best.

Last year's top-rated filly worldwide; won the Cheshire Oaks, the Classics at Epsom and the Curragh and the Yorkshire Oaks; at least matched her best effort when touched off by Daryz on soft in the Arc, well clear of the remainder; perhaps one race too many when underwhelming at the Breeders' Cup; picked up smoothly to win a Group 2 by 1.75l here on seasonal return (1m2f, good); this is a bigger task, and it's not unfair to say her ideal trip is further than this, but she's the most likely winner.
