Form & Verdict
Productive 2025 campaign for Sir Mark Prescott included a 1m4f handicap hat-trick; signed off from former yard well beaten in Listed company on AW at Lingfield (1m5f); purchased for 150,000gns in the meantime and has the rating to get involved, but trainer's other runner, Perfect Your Craft, is arguably more interesting.

Won three handicaps in Britain for Sir Mark Prescott; very pleasing start for this stable when a 2.75l third of 9 in a Cork Group 3 (1m4f, good) behind the promising Sparan Nua; a bit to find on paper here, but will love the ground and more black type could be on the cards.

Winner of three of her six races for Ralph Beckett; purchased for 300,000gns and posted a cracking effort on seasonal return/stable debut when keeping on well over 1m2f in a big-field premier handicap at the Curragh, denied by a nose; enters Group 3 company for the first time but worthy of consideration with improvement; cheekpieces go on.

Winner of three of her six races for Ralph Beckett; purchased for 300,000gns and cracking effort on seasonal return/stable debut when just denied in 1m2f Curragh premier handicap in May; didn't land a blow but not beaten far in Group 3 Munster Oaks latest (first-time cheekpieces) so not one to dismiss lightly.

By Wootton Bassett out of a 9.5f Listed winner who's sister to Irish Guineas winner Roderic O'Connor; won a maiden at Cork (1m, yielding) last September and probably improved again when front-running third of seven in Group 3 at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding) two weeks ago; top trainer so often gets these 3yo middle-distance fillies to improve.

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.
