TrackLab Insight
The highest-rated horse in the field by 3lbs, which is the official handicapper's view of who is best here — and she arrives on the back of a win at Newmarket 21 days ago. However, the data shows she has only won once from 7 races on normal ground, which is a concern given today's conditions.

TrackLab Insight
The market favourite and the form book backs that up — three wins from four races, the best record on today's ground in the field, and back-to-back wins heading into this. She is the one everyone else has to beat, and at 4.0, the market believes she will.

TrackLab Insight
Three wins from five races at the Curragh makes her the outstanding course specialist in this field — no other runner comes close to that record here. She returns from a seven-month break, which is the only thing standing between her and serious consideration, and her last run before the break was a poor 9th at Ascot.

Trainer Quotes
Jun 2025
"She's a lovely filly and I was delighted with her at the Curragh. She only found Porta Fortuna too good there and the Duke of Cambridge has been pencilled in for her. She's smart. 13-06-25"

TrackLab Insight
She has the best career win rate in the field — winning roughly 1 in every 2 races — and arrives on the back of two consecutive wins at Newcastle. The concern is she drops two class levels from her usual racing environment to be here, and she has never won on ground described as normal or slower, which is what she faces today.

TrackLab Insight
One of only a handful of course winners in this race, having won here at the Curragh 51 days ago, and she brings a tidy overall record of 3 wins from just 7 races. She is lightly raced and arrives in decent form, though this is a step up in class from that recent win.

Trainer Quotes
Apr 2026
"We hoped she'd run well in the [Group 3] Express Stakes and maybe get some black type, but she handled the softer conditions very well and exceeded our expectations to win. She'll probably come back for the [Group 2] Lanwades Stud Stakes on Guineas weekend at the Curragh next. 22-04-26"

TrackLab Insight
Barely any data to work with — just one career race on record, no wins, and limited form to assess. She is the least experienced horse in the field by a wide margin, and stepping into a 12-runner Group 1 with that background is a significant test of what she might have.

Form Track
4.2
Won 1 of last 5 Raced here before Has won on this ground
TrackLab Insight
She has won at the top level in Britain, including a Group/Class 1 at Newmarket, so the quality is genuine — but she was well beaten on her most recent run, trailing home 4th and over 10 lengths off the pace. Coming from a different racing environment to take on horses who know this course is a real ask.

Headgear Form
4.2
Wearing tongue strap Won 2 of last 5 Raced here before
TrackLab Insight
She has never won at the Curragh in five attempts and has no wins on normal ground, two facts that are very hard to look past given today's conditions and course. With 15 races behind her and a win rate of roughly 1 in every 7, the data does not make a compelling case at these odds.

TrackLab Insight
The longest absence in the field by some distance — this horse has not raced in 240 days, which is roughly eight months. Her last run was a close second in a top-level race at Newmarket, which shows ability, but horses returning from that length of break face a significant fitness question.

TrackLab Insight
Back-to-back wins at Gowran Park give her strong recent momentum, and a record of 3 wins from 7 races shows genuine consistency. The step up to a Group 1 at the Curragh is a big jump from where those wins came, and this will tell us quickly whether she belongs at this level.

Won 1 of last 5 Raced here before
TrackLab Insight
One of the most experienced horses in the field with 18 races under her belt, but that experience has produced just 2 wins — roughly 1 in every 9 races. She has never won at the Curragh in 7 attempts, and the data flags she has not won on normal ground in 9 tries, which is a real problem today.

TrackLab Insight
The only horse in this field with a win at this distance, which is worth noting — but the recent form makes it hard to get excited. A distant 10th here at the Curragh just 35 days ago, beaten over 11 lengths, suggests she is well below the level needed to compete with the favourites today.

How do odds work? The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
