Paddy Power Pretty Polly Stakes (Group 1) (Fillies & Mares)

Progressive filly in the latter part of last season, winning twice in France, a Listed race at Longchamp and a Group 3 at Toulouse, dominating from the front both times; set a very stiff challenge when taking on five colts on seasonal debut in the Prix Ganay, ended up last of six after making the running; suited by plenty of ease in the ground.

Leopardstown 7f maiden winner on debut; coped well with rise in class in a Group 3 at the same track next time; down the field in the Group 1 Matron Stakes on final start last season; began the new campaign with a satisfactory second in a Listed race at Gowran; fifth behind Porta Fortuna in a Group 2 event here a month ago; will need a career-best to hold her own.

Third in last year's Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot; maintained progress with wins in 1m3f Listed race at Hamilton and 1m4f Group 3 on AW at Kempton; took her form to a new level when landing the Group 1 Fillies & Mares on soft ground at Ascot; did not get the best of runs when third in the Tattersalls Gold Cup here last month; probably best over further but has strong claims.

Listed winner in Germany last year over 1m1f; ran respectably when third in a 1m4f Listed event at this venue on seasonal/stable debut; relegated a shorter-priced favourite to fifth when winning a 1m4f Group 3 race at Cork; down in trip now and takes a big rise in class.

Unbeaten juvenile; smart form last season; second in the Prix de Diane and won a Group 2 Longchamp event over 1m4f on good to soft ground; final two starts as a 3yo were respectable, placing seventh in both the Prix Vermeille and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe; solid display when chasing home the Arc second Aventure at Saint-Cloud last month; could go well.
