Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies)

190,000euros yearling representing the 2002 winning trainer; 2yos from this yard rarely win first time out and she duly found improvement to collect at Bath (5f, firm); however, that form is none too convincing heading into an assignment of this magnitude.

Clearcut Brighton winner before a running-on fifth of nine in a Listed race at York (5f, good to firm); this demands a huge step forward and she gives the impression that an extra furlong would bring her on.

Led early but dropped out to finish stone-cold last on debut at Windsor (6f, good) and, at odds of 200-1, she carried zero confidence in the market; instantly opposable.

320,000gns breeze-up buy and a half-sister to last year's Coventry fifth Al Qudra; dam won over 5f; made debut at Naas (5f, good) and showed some serious mid-race speed before ultimately conceding to the stronger-staying colt Charles Darwin (who had raced twice already) and there's a lot to look forward to on the evidence of that promise; while it's rare for a maiden to win this, she's a likely contender under Oisin Murphy.

22,000gns yearling and half-sister to a fair winning sprinter; doesn't have the most compelling of pedigrees given what she's going up against on this highly demanding debut assignment; hard to consider.
