It's taken six goes for everything to click into place for Lumiere Rock this season but the fitting of first-time cheekpieces worked the oracle for Joseph O'Brien's filly in Sunday's Blanford Stakes and she looks ready for a return to the top table having struggled against Savethelastdance in the Irish Oaks earlier in the year.
The Prix de l'Opera and Fillies and Mares Stakes at Ascot on Champions Day are her obvious targets going forward.
Richard Fahey sent out two nice winners on Sunday with Native American landing skinny odds in the big sales race at the Curragh and Tropical Island delivering in the York nursery.
The one My Stable users have latched onto, though, is Brooklyn Nine Nine, who was spotted doing some good late work when fourth in the five-furlong sprint handicap on the Knavesmire. Having his first run since May, this is likely to have done him some good physically and a return to six furlongs is likely in the offing before long.
The Ayr Bronze Cup might come into calculations and he looks up to defying a mark in the low-80s.
Karl Burke's Fallen Angel is the new market leader for the 2024 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and few could argue with that following Sunday's impressive win in the Moyglare.
Granted, her chief market rival Ylang Ylang checked out quickly but Fallen Angel looked a class act in turning away the strong-travelling Vespertilio and all roads now lead to the Fillies' Mile on October 13 for the daughter of Too Darn Hot, a race Burke won a few years ago with Laurens.
