Bumped into Charles Darwin on 2yo debut and then ran a cracker for fourth in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot; made all to win a maiden at Cork (5f, soft) on her reappearance but below par in a Naas Listed race when last seen; each-way shout.

3yo filly whose best effort in three runs as a 2yo came when a 1.75l fourth of 23 in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot; last of seven in a C&D Listed race in July and not seen again until landing a 5f maiden at Cork (soft) 23 days ago; gets all the allowances and that maiden form was boosted at Navan on Saturday.

Chased home Charles Darwin on debut at Naas (5f, good); ran a cracker when a 1.75l fourth behind True Love in the Queen Mary (5f, gd-fm) at Royal Ascot; reportedly slightly lame post-race when disappointing on final run of 2025 in listed heat at Naas; sets a high standard and hard to beat if handles ground.

A 320,000gns Breeze-up buy; made debut over C&D, showed up well before losing out to Aidan O'Brien's Charles Darwin who had two runs under his belt and subsequently won the Norfolk Stakes; underlined the quality of the Irish juvenile crop when fourth to True Love (Railway Stakes winner last Saturday) in the Queen Mary; excellent chance despite being the only maiden in the field.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: J A Stack

320,000gns breeze-up buy and a half-sister to last year's Coventry fifth Al Qudra; dam won over 5f; made debut at Naas (5f, good) and showed some serious mid-race speed before ultimately conceding to the stronger-staying colt Charles Darwin (who had raced twice already) and there's a lot to look forward to on the evidence of that promise; while it's rare for a maiden to win this, she's a likely contender under Oisin Murphy.
