Smart Group 3 winner over 9f here last summer. Right at the top of her game when runner-up in Group 2 Middleton/third in Pretty Polly over C&D this season. Possibly didn't take to cheekpieces in a Group 1 at Deauville latest and may well fare better with a tongue strap fitted here.
|
Followed her win in strong C&D handicap with an emphatic success in listed race at Leopardstown in October. Returned to form when beaten 3¾ lengths in big-field Galway handicap latest. Needs more again pitched into Group 2 company with cheekpieces back on.
|
Useful filly. Hit the frame 3 times in listed/Group 3 company this season, however, faces a tall order stepping up in class following a rare poor effort at Galway 5 days ago.
|
Sole win came in 7f Dundalk maiden early last year. Showed more than previously this season when beaten 1¾ lengths in 6-runner listed race here (1m) in June. Hasn't built on that and looks out of her depth.
|
Runner-up in Irish Oaks here last season. Beaten only 3¾ lengths in Pretty Polly over C&D on her penultimate start. Tongue strap goes on following a lesser effort in a Munich Group 1 since, and she looks the stable second string.
|
Looked right out of the top drawer when winning this year's Oaks at Epsom. Found to be coughing following her subsequent 2½-length fourth in Pretty Polly Stakes here. Has been given time to get over that, and she remains the one to beat.
|
Front runner who has returned an improved model this season, making it 2 wins from 3 starts in a Group 3 at Chantilly (9f) in mid-July. In much deeper waters here, for all she isn't fully exposed stepping back up in trip. Yard also saddle Timeforshowcasing.
|
Home-bred filly from a high-class family. Impressed when making it 2-2 in a York listed race on return. Pitched in the deep end when beaten 4½ lengths in the Prix de Diane on hat-trick bid. Entitled to have learned from that and still likely to do better given her pedigree/connections.
|
Improving daughter of New Bay. Runner-up in a strong renewal of the Sandringham before notching a third win from 5 starts in a Deauville Group 3 last time. This is tougher but she's in excellent hands and still relatively unexposed.
|
Enhanced a fine strike rate with a much-improved success in the German 1000 Guineas in May. Advanced her form in defeat in Group 1 company in Germany/France since, beaten 2 lengths at Deauville (1¼m) latest. Going the right way and expected to give another good account.

Forecasts
Thundering On (5/4), Lilt (7/2), Red Letter (6/1), Symbol Of Majesty (15/2), Timeforshowcasing (8/1), Jennifer Jane (20/1), Wemightakedlongway (20/1), Shaool (28/1), Snapretend (80/1), Spicy Margarita (500/1)
THUNDERING ON was a most impressive winner of the Oaks earlier in the season and is fancied to get back on track following a blip in the Pretty Polly here last time. Timeforshowcasing, Red Letter and Lilt appeal as the likely dangers.
