Verdict

FAIYUM's wide-margin success in a Group 3 last autumn marks her down as one could develop into a really smart filly this year and she's very much the one to beat. Moments of Joy has the look of one who will make a better 3-y-o and is second choice ahead of Catalina Delcarpio, who is a good prospect for 2026 but reappears over a 4f shorter trip than when second in a Royal Ascot Group 2 on her final start last year.

  1. FAIYUM
  2. MOMENTS OF JOY (USA)
  3. CATALINA DELCARPIO (IRE)
