24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Smart form in winning her first two races at three; failed to add to her tally last season; posted a career-best to win a 1m1f Group 2 event at Newmarket three weeks ago; has the beating of Francophone on that running; strong contender if she can replicate that form on slower ground; seems ideally suited by a quick surface. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |

Irish mare whose career commenced with two Leopardstown wins, including in Group 3; 0-7 since but has continued to show useful form; unlikely to get back on the scoresheet in this field, however. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced and progressive filly who completed a hat-trick in a Listed race at Sandown (1m, good to firm) last July; held in second in her final two runs last season but the first was a Group 3 and latest was in the Group 1 Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket; sets the standard on this big drop back in class and she's a strong contender on her return. |

4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced and progressive filly who took the promotion to Listed level in her stride at Sandown (1m, good to firm) and again on her debut in a Group 3 when narrowly denied by Lady Of Spain on soft ground back there a month ago; however, she's 3lb worse off with her conqueror here so needs her best yet by some margin. |

9st 6lb |
Won 1m2f filles' maiden here on debut (good); subsequently placed in Navan Group 3 (1m2f, soft) and in Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes at Ascot (1m4f, gd-fm) when the 2-1 favourite; testing ground may not have suited on seasonal return in the Park Express at the Curragh (1m, sft-hvy); should improve for that and yard red-hot, but needs to prove effectiveness for this trip. |
100/30 |

4th 5 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |

Reached a very useful level in three starts last season, landing 1m2f Leopardstown maiden before beaten 2.75l into second in Group 3 at Navan; stepped up in trip and beaten 2-1 favourite when third in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Ascot when last seen 288 days ago; open to further improvement; acts on soft; yard won this last year; trip may be a bit sharp on return. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Possibly unsuited by soft ground; record of 0-8 since debut success doesn't do her justice, with three good efforts at Group/Grade 1 level (1m/1m3f) among her form; leading player on ratings returned to turf with AW reappearance under her belt. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
She is yet to add to her debut success (6f, Polytrack; only AW run thus far) but was highly tried last year and finished fourth in Group 1 events on three occasions, notably the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf (1m3f, firm) when last seen in November; down in trip/grade for her return and she looks a major player. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning handicap debut at Kempton (AW) on her return last May and scored again at Thirsk (good) in September; fine effort despite not getting the breaks when just denied in Ascot Listed event (also 7f, soft) the following month and midfield finish from a poor draw at Longchamp a fortnight later is easily glossed over; commands respect on this return. |

Back on the up when leading towards the finish in 7f Thirsk handicap (good) four weeks ago but a fair bit more will be needed in this higher grade. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has proved headstrong and she was disappointing in last two appearances, including when only 5-2 for the Coronation Stakes having bypassed the Oaks and French Oaks, but this may be the time to catch her; comfortably justified favouritism in the Pretty Polly on this card (good to firm) 12 months ago, taking record to 2-2 and looking a potentially high-class filly; worth another chance. |
9/2 |

10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Impressive on sole 2yo start (8.5f, AW) and in Listed race here (1m2f, good to firm) in May, racing exuberantly in front in the latter; missed the Oaks due to doubts over the trip/track and the French Oaks due to scoping dirty; Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) did not work out, lit up in the lead, but she was just 5-2 for that race, is hooded this time and could still bring potential. |

Twice a Listed winner, notably when beating Hey Boo over this trip at Newmarket on her final start last season; appears well held by Jancis based on a Group 2 clash at the same venue three weeks ago. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |

Successful twice in Listed grade, including at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on last appearance; could go well but her overall record and ratings suggest she's unlikely to follow up in this better race. |

9st 2lb |
She's won five of her six starts, the latest victory coming in the Group 1 Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft) in October 2024; absent since and she needs to prove she retains her ability, but she probably won't need to be at her very best to come out on top in this line-up. |

1st 7 (2) |
27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Tenacious winner of a maiden at Kempton (1m, AW) in December and Listed race at Newmarket (1m2f, good) in May, making most in the latter as the first two drew 12l clear; 8-11 for the Group 3 Musidora at York (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) just ten days later but held up and hung right, finishing last of seven; on a recovery mission but the Newmarket win demands respect. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 3-3 when landing a Listed race at York (1m, good to firm) last May but she found things tough in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Ascot (never-dangerous seventh) the following month; has been on the sidelines since but she's still unexposed and could resume her progress back in calmer waters on her return. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Supplemented for this contest at a cost of £46,000; improving filly who is 3-3, most recently driven out for half-length success in Listed grade at York (1m, good to firm) on turf debut; now partnered for the first time by William Buick, who rode a Group 1 winner for these connections last season; very interesting upped further in class, with her bubble yet to be burst and limitations not yet exposed. |

9st 2lb |
Made it 3-4 in handicaps when winning on last month's reappearance at Musselburgh (1m1f, good); up in trip/grade today but she powered ahead once in the clear last time and it's hard to identify where the ceiling of her ability lies; has won on good to soft (unraced on softer); dam was two-time 1m4f Listed winner; interesting contender. |

Progressive in six starts for three different stables last year (641131) including making a successful debut for this one at Redcar (1m, good to soft) in October; has a 6lb higher mark and a 167-day absence to overcome, but she remains open to further improvement. |

9st 8lb |
All three runs last season were in France; suffered a heartbreaking demotion for connections when placed second in the French 1,000 Guineas at Longchamp (1m, good) and failed to stay an extended 1m2f in the Diane at Chantilly last June; not seen again until third in 1m Goodwood Listed event five weeks ago, fading late on as if the run was needed; should be spot on now. |

Won a Haydock maiden (7f, good to firm) as a 2yo; all three runs last season were in France and she suffered a heartbreaking demotion for connections when placed second in the French 1,000 Guineas at Longchamp (1m, good); well held at Chantilly in her final run last term but that was the French Oaks and she may have had stamina issues over an extended 1m2f; returns after 11 months off but she's still lightly raced and needs a close look on this drop back in trip and class. |

Winner of the 2023 Chesham; again ran well at Royal Ascot last year, second in 23-runner Kensington Palace Stakes; sprang a surprise in a four-runner 1m1f Group 3 at Leopardstown on penultimate start; this may be too sharp on reappearance. |
