Four-time Listed winner who made Group 3 breakthrough at Saint-Cloud (1m, very soft) last October; ran well when 2l fourth in Group 2 Huxley Stakes at Chester (10.3f, good) four weeks ago; third in this last year and a penalty shouldn't prevent her being competitive again.

Comment

Third in this last year; won French Group 3 last autumn; creditable 4th at Chester latest

Stable Tour

"She was a real flag-bearer for us last year, winning eight races in all. To win her first race off 59 in May and then win a Listed race by 12 lengths and finish off on 107 was phenomenal. Once she started winning she kept pulling out more and more. She looks like she's strengthened up loads and I think we'll have a bit of fun again this year. Soft ground is paramount for her. The only bad run she had was at York and I was kicking myself for running as I walked the track and it was too quick, but we thought we have to try her on quick ground at some stage. We know now it's not her gig. As soon as she got back on to soft, she relished it again and finished off the season really strongly. We were struggling for a race to start her off this time and ended up running her over 7f at Haydock, which is too short but we needed to get a run into her. She's got loads of options but it's down to the weather. There's the Group 3 Princess Elizabeth at Epsom on Saturday and then Royal Ascot. If we don't get the ground, we'll have to go to France or Ireland. She's working the house down at home and is ready to rock and roll. 30-05-24"

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.

Comment

Led for long way when third in Goodwood Listed on return and should be spot on now

"She won nicely at Haydock and had working well at home so that wasn't a massive surprise. She could go to the Rockfel and there's also a £100,000 restricted final at Goodwood on September 25 that she's eligible for but I don't want to overrace her. 11-09-24"

Runner-up in the Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar (1m, firm) last autumn; below that level when fifth in 1m York Listed race on reappearance but it's possible she simply needed the outing; player if back to her best.

Comment

Second in Group 2 and Grade 1 over 1m last year; may have needed return; player if at best

Spotlight

Came up well short in Group 1/Listed events in the second half of 2025 but different story on Kempton AW reappearance, readily seeing off ten rivals in 1m Listed race; winner on good to soft; capable of making her presence felt, with further progress a distinct possibility after only six starts.

Group 3 winner at Tipperary (7.5f, yielding) at the end of last summer; matched that form when second in 1m Group 3 at the Curragh (soft/heavy) but needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at the Curragh last time.

Comment

Group 3 winner last year; second at same level this year but latest effort was below par

Stable Tour

"She's got better every year with racing and ran great when second in the Express Stakes behind Celestial Orbit last time after not doing badly in a messy race on her comeback. She could take on Celestial Orbit again in the Lanwades Stud Stakes. 22-04-26"

Smart hold-up mare who is closely matched with Shes Perfect on latest Goodwood Listed form over 1m on good; 0-6 at Listed/Group level but she's capable of a prominent showing if things fall right.

"She's very talented but needs to be ridden with restraint. I thought she was a little bit unlucky on her comeback, but she hasn't stayed in training to win handicaps at Newmarket, so it was a great reappearance. She'll likely go to the Listed Conqueror Stakes at Goodwood next, which she probably should have won last season but for traffic problems. She likes fast ground and, if we can get the big black type secured, then we may well become more ambitious and take a shot at Group 2s or even Group 1s. 21-04-26"

French raider who won a 1m Saint-Cloud Listed race on soft last autumn; arrives on the back of creditable in-frame efforts in similar races at Longchamp (7f/1m) this spring; often races prominently.

Very lightly raced 5yo who left the impression 1m2f just stretched her when fourth in Nottingham Listed race on good-ground reappearance; raced only on soft/heavy prior to that, so won't be inconvenienced however much rain arrives.

Comment

Very lightly raced 5yo who has raced only on good or softer; drop back in trip is a help

Won a Listed race at York (5f, good) as a 2yo but she's 0-13 since and finished behind Shes Perfect and Arisaig in a Goodwood Listed event last time.

Comment

Listed win at 2 but 0-13 since; held by Shes Perfect and Arisaig on latest Goodwood form

Stable Tour

"She was second, beaten only a nose, by last week's Duke of Cambridge winner Crimson Advocate in a Listed fillies' race at Goodwood and was then third in a Group 2 in France. She ran in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot on Friday and I was expecting her to go very well as a Group horse in a handicap but she was pulled up. I think she must have whacked a joint and I'm really happy that William Buick pulled her up as it's better to be safe than sorry. She appears to be fine but we'll make further checks just in case to make sure there's no problem. I think she's very underrated and I've got her in the Falmouth at the Newmarket July meeting. That may be a step too far, but all being well it'll be Group races over a mile for her. 02-07-25"
