Improving filly; two wins at Gowran this term; her trainer has two stronger candidates in Celestial Orbit and Princess Child. |

9st 5lb |
Leopardstown maiden winner for Dermot Weld; no joy first two starts for this stable but off the mark on seasonal return in a 1m handicap here (soft) off 82; moves up in trip and steps into pattern company for the first time; interesting that McMonagle prefers her to Lemsairbat; place claims. |

Second in a Listed race at Killarney last year; likely to find this company too demanding, though worth noting she was aimed higher in the Matron Stakes. |

C&D maiden winner last year and followed up on seasonal return at Fairyhouse in June; highly-tried since, including beaten 6l in Group 1 Matron Stakes, well below best on heavy ground latest; place claims back on better ground. |

9st 1lb |
Led, was headed, but then rallied for a 0.5l third of 16 at Limerick (1m, yielding); 1-24 strike rate is not a great return but has placed on many occasions; should go well again off 1lb higher, but this ground may not suit. |

9st 1lb |
Debut 7f winner at the Curragh in May and missed a few engagements before returning to finish third in Group 3 Fairy Bridge Stakes (Tipperary) in late August, having been badly hampered turning in; renews rivalry with second-placed Queen Of Thunder and could well reverse form with better luck in running. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 110y |

Debut 7f winner at the Curragh in May, beating a subsequent Galway winner despite running green; this looks ambitious for her second run. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 63y |
10st 3lb |
Highly progressive from a low base last autumn, winning all three handicaps on heavy ground, at Gowran and twice at the Curragh; continued improvement on return when fine third of 25 from 7lb out of handicap in Irish Lincoln in first-time cheekpieces; coped with good-to-yielding ground when third at Leopardstown last time; any ease would help. |

Highly progressive from a low base last autumn, winning all three handicaps on heavy ground, at Gowran and twice at the Curragh; continued improvement on last month's return at latter venue when fine third of 25 from 7lb out of handicap in Irish Lincoln in first-time cheekpieces; encounters quicker conditions here, big player if handling them. |

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. |

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. |

9st 3lb |
Now 0-9 but has run plenty of solid races in defeat in maidens and most recently in Curragh fillies handicap when good fourth (7f, good); quite exposed but place claims at least back in maiden company. |

4th 6 (9) |
4th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

0-8 but has run plenty of solid races in defeat in maidens and on her handicap debut over C&D (yld-sft) last September when beaten 0.75l off 80; 1lb lower now after two respectable maiden runs this term at Naas and Gowran (both 1m, soft); ran well both previous starts on good ground; player. |

Placed in all four maiden attempts; dropped in class after a Group 3 bid in which she failed to distinguish herself; has a superb pedigree and deserves respect in this grade. |

9st 2lb |
A 185,000euros breeze-up purchase; only 100-30 when going close on Leopardstown debut (6.5f) and then fourth at the Curragh behind a Ballydoyle newcomer who has since impressed in a Listed race; every chance from a good draw. |

4th 6 (2) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Sioux Nation filly cost 74,000euros as a yearling and 185,000euros at the breeze-ups; half-sister to winners Extraordinaire (7f/1m inc 2yo/Australia; RPR 98) and Belafonte (French 1m-10.5f; 94); dam unraced half-sister to Irish Derby winner Trading Leather; very promising Leopardstown debut last month, staying on well final furlong to within a neck of odds-on Fairy Oak; weighted to reverse that form here and slightly longer trip should suit. |
