Form & Verdict

Improved last season to win a 1m4f maiden and two Group 3s over 1m6f before winding up in a Group 1 (seventh); only sixth on last month's reappearance but market weakness suggested that run was needed; 1m4f is probably not her best trip but still much respected for a yard that has won this five times in ten years.

Form & Verdict

At the Curragh in June she was short-headed by Grateful who won the Group 3 at Fairyhouse in which Dancing Tango and Lily Heart filled the minor placings; made no mistake in a 1m3f Killarney maiden last time and she can no doubt progress further.

Form & Verdict

Held by Dancing Tango on their recent clash in a 1m6f Group 3 but that was a big step up for this filly on the back of a maiden win at Down Royal (1m5f); might be vulnerable to something with a greater finishing kick but it's still early days.

Low-key debut last year on AW over 7f; much better when runner-up over 1m2f at the Curragh on seasonal debut; bolted up in an ordinary 1m5f maiden at Down Royal; takes a big jump in class.

Modest debut last year on AW over 7f (25/1) but was much better when runner-up (2/1 fav') at the Curragh on return over 1m2f; should have improved for that and up in trip so a big player.

In first-time cheekpieces when beating 17 rivals in a 1m2f maiden at the Curragh and then went close in a handicap over the same C&D; chance isn't obvious on these terms but still lightly raced and blinkers are tried.

Recruited for 330,000gns after winning two of her six races for Ralph Beckett; probably needed her first run of the year and then impressed in a 1m4f Listed race at Roscommon; the second is useful, despite coming up short on his hurdling debut this week; this filly is open to further progress.

Bought for Moyglare for 330,000gns at Tattersalls December Sales out of Ralph Beckett's yard for whom she won Kempton novice and Salisbury handicap last year; didn't get much luck in running final start when not discredited in Yarmouth Listed; stiff task on yard debut and seems best with an ease in the ground.

Form & Verdict

Not the easiest to place, hence a modest strike-rate for one of her ability; excellent seconds in Listed/Group 3 races and she's faced tougher tasks the last twice, not running at all badly last time at Glorious Goodwood (Group 2); can be involved.

Her only runs on good to firm were in 2022; close second this season in Ireland on good ground in 1m4f Listed race and to Grateful in 1m6f Group 3; ran respectably in Group 2 latest; usually runs with credit but several others in this seem established at a higher level.
