20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Probably should have won on her debut at Keeneland in April and was long odds-on when making no mistake, breaking the track record in the process, at Aqueduct (also 5.5f, firm) last month; looks a typical speedball for a US yard that's won the Norfolk twice, including with this one's sire in 2013; one of three intriguing Wesley Ward fillies. |
28/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
US challenger; accepted a lead before quickening away to a 6.5l defeat of subsequent winner Shining Moment at Keeneland (5.5f, firm) in April and there was an even wider margin back to the third; it's hard not to be impressed by that performance and her trainer seems confident of a bold show; makes the shortlist. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Still looked a bit wet behind the ears when beaten under 4l into fifth in this 12 months ago (7-1) and has raised his game subsequently, notably when only just missing out in a 1m6f handicap at Glorious Goodwood and posting another placed effort at Meydan during the winter (1m4f, good); absent since below par in a Group 3 there in February; should have freshened up since with this presumably the plan; interesting. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Off the mark at Sligo last month but disqualified as rider claimed the incorrect weight; well-backed to gain compensation off same mark at Cork 16 days ago but left with a fair bit to do when staying-on third (Zoffman second) over this trip; 2lb wrong here but interesting to see what tactics top US jockey employs. |

8st 7lb |
soon pressed leader and clear with one other, challenging going okay under 2f out, weakened gradually inside final furlong |
6/1 |
