Staffordstown Stud Stakes (Fillies' Group 3)

Off the mark at Naas (1m) in October and ran to similar level when good second of 7 in nursery at Leopardstown 3 days ago. More on plate here, however.

Off the mark at Leopardstown in June but not progressed since, well held behind Maire Rua in listed race at same course (7f, good to firm) 38 days ago. Uphill task.

Off the mark at Leopardstown in July and improved from that when third of 6 in Gowran listed event next time. Found out in better company since, though, latest when 6 lengths fifth of 10 to Maire Rua in listed race at Leopardstown (7f, good to firm) 38 days ago. Now tried in cheekpieces.

Made a winning debut over C&D in June but hasn't built on that since and is another who finished behind Maire Rua at Leopardstown last month.

Built on encouraging debut effort when third of 10 in maiden at Thurles (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago. This is tougher but she may have more to offer yet.

220,000 gns yearling. Half-sister to several winners and posted promising first effort when sixth of 14 to The Good Wife in maiden at Punchestown (1m, good) 35 days ago, faring best of those held up. Open to progress but needs significantly more to get involved here.

From a typically good Coolmore family and opened account at third time of asking in Dundalk maiden earlier this month. Improved on that when seventh in Newmarket Group 3 latest and will appreciate the step back up in trip here.

Promising individual who progressed again when taking 7-runner maiden (13/8) at Gowran (1m, soft) 31 days ago, driven out. This is tougher but she should have more to offer.

Stayed on late to make a winning debut in 11-runner maiden at Listowel (1m, good to soft, 9/2) 29 days ago. Asked a bigger question now but she is in good hands.

Won first time up at Leopardstown this summer and upped her game when taking 10-runner listed race at same course (7f, good to firm) 38 days ago. Will appreciate this step up in trip and looks the one to beat.

Off the mark at second attempt when narrowly taking 14-runner maiden at Punchestown (1m, good, 2/1) 35 days ago. May well do better and warrants respect.
