Built upon previous promise (including on soft ground) when easily winning a maiden at Leopardstown (1m, yielding) last October on her fifth start, and reappeared with 2l win in Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good) where she wore a hood and blinkers for the first time (retained today); she's followed the same route on her last two races as Minnie Hauk, who won this for Ballydoyle 12 months ago, and Ryan Moore rides; major player.

Comment

Won the Listed Cheshire Oaks by 2l and is following same route as 2025 winner Minnie Hauk

Stable Tour

"She's a good filly, even though it took her a long time to win last year. She'd been second twice and fourth in a Group 3 before she got it done really well at Leopardstown, winning a mile maiden by seven lengths. Ryan rode her at the Curragh on Sunday and loved her. He thinks she'll get a mile and a half well. She's the type for an Oaks trial. 31-03-26"

All four starts on good to firm/good ground; rallied for fourth in a hot running of the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket last October on her final 2yo run, and she reappeared with a hard-fought win in the Group 3 Musidora at York (10.2f), asserting close home; there is every chance that she will stay 1m4f and her pedigree provides optimism that she will be effective on slow ground; dam is a sister to Frankel; firmly in calculations.

Asserted close home in the Group 3 Musidora at York and she's firmly in calculations

By Frankel and dam won the 1m2f Group 1 Pretty Polly for connections; she's improved with each of her four starts and comfortably won the Group 3 Salsabil Stakes at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding) in April when upped in trip; has shown promise on heavy ground; powered clear in the final furlong last time, providing hope that she will stay 1m4f, and she's one to consider.

Comment

Powered clear in 1m2f Group 3 at Navan in April when upped in trip; she's one to consider

Stable Tour

"She has a good pedigree and is exciting. She ran very well in a hot maiden on her reappearance where she was just nabbed by a high-class filly. We're going to step her back into stakes company next, although we have to decide where. 22-04-26"

Quotes

7f maiden winner (soft to heavy) who took a big step forward with a convincing win in the Listed Oaks Trial at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) last month on her sixth start, which was her first run beyond 1m; Ryan Moore was on board last time and rides stablemate Amelia Earhart this afternoon, but she was certainly impressive at Lingfield and is unexposed at the trip; chance.

Comment

Impressive in Lingfield trial; has a chance even though Ryan Moore rides Amelia Earhart

Stable Tour

"She won her maiden over seven furlongs at the Curragh before finishing fourth in a Group 3 back there on heavy ground. We're happy with her and she'll start off in an Oaks trial. 31-03-26"

0-6 since debut win on AW last June and unproven on slow ground; however, she was a fine second in a red-hot running of the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket last October and reappeared with an excellent third in the 1,000 Guineas there (1m) last month; made the running on her last two starts; by Derby winner Masar and rallied in the closing stages last time, so it's possible that this sizeable step up in trip will suit; not ruled out.

Comment

Rallied for 3rd in 1,000 Guineas and it's possible this sizeable step up in trip will suit

Stable Tour

"We campaigned very aggressively after her maiden win and rounded off last season with a great second in the Fillies' Mile. We galloped her at the Craven meeting to try to learn a bit more about how we should be approaching the first half of the season. Through the winter I got the impression that she was going to be more of an Oaks filly than a Guineas filly, but Jason Hart was very happy with her work and I think she'll run in the 1,000 Guineas first. It would be no surprise to see her running in the first four or five and, if she did that, it would be the best possible trial for the Oaks. When you're already rated 108 but believe stepping up in trip is likely to bring more improvement, it's easy to get excited. 21-04-26"

She has an attractive German pedigree and was bought for 550,000gns as a yearling; won at Newbury (1m, soft) last October on sole 2yo start and beaten about 3l by Amelia Earhart when third in the Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good) on last month's reappearance; she still looked a work in progress last time (slowly away and outpaced turning for home) and could have lots more to offer; slow ground might aid her cause; interesting.

Comment

Still looked a work in progress when third to Amelia Earhart in Cheshire Oaks; interesting

Stable Tour

"She did well to win on her debut at Newbury last year. She's has an Oaks entry and will run in a trial somewhere - she'll need some juice in the ground. She is bred to be above average and goes well. She's pretty straightforward and we're just waiting for her to come to hand. 27-04-26"

Sister to connections' 10.2f/1m4f Group 2 winner Pride Of Arras; comfortable win at Southwell (1m, AW) last November on sole 2yo start and the drop to 7f was against her in the Fred Darling at Newbury (good) on her return; left that run well behind when staying on for third in the Group 3 Musidora at York (10.2f, good) last month, beaten just over 2l by Legacy Link; looks set to relish this step up in trip and she could be a serious force.

Comment

Stayed on for third in the Musidora and could be a serious force over this longer trip

Stable Tour

"She ran in the Fred Darling and has come out of the race well. She'd had only one start on the all-weather and she had been working well. She'll step up to a mile and a quarter next as we thought she might be better at middle distances. She's a sister to Pride Of Arras and they're a family who catch on quick, and she's pretty straightforward. 27-04-26"

Won Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW) last October on third start and followed up on handicap/seasonal debut here (8.5f, good) in April; kept on strongly for 1l third in Listed Height Of Fashion Stakes at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 13 days ago; she has plenty to find on form but the step up in trip could prompt further improvement and she might not be a forlorn hope each-way.

Comment

Strong finish for Listed third over 1m2f at Goodwood; might not be a forlorn hope each-way

Stable Tour

"She has a few entries but will probably go for a handicap to Epsom on Tuesday. She has an Oaks entry and although she has a miling pedigree, there's a good chance she can stretch out. She shows up well, hence her smart entries. 27-04-26"

Spotlight

Third in Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last September and readily made all in Group 3 Staffordstown Stud Stakes at the Curragh (1m, heavy) in October; she could improve for last month's comeback run in the Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good) but has work to do with stablemate Amelia Earhart and A La Prochaine on that form; others preferred.

Comment

Made all in 2yo Group 3 last October; work to do with two of these on Chester form

Stable Tour

"She won the Group 3 Staffordstown well on her last run and is another one for a trial. She could be an Oaks or a Guineas type. 31-03-26"
