Faiyum (F)
FAV
Rapid improver last year, producing a really smart performance when taking her career record to 3-4 with an easy all-the-way win in Gowran Group 3 (9.5f, soft) in September. Exciting prospect who should be hard to beat on reappearance.

Princess Child (M)
[T]
Useful mare, notably winning 7.5f Tipperary Group 3 last August. However, well below par when seventh of 10 in Gladness on last weekend's reappearance at the Curragh and needs to have come on a lot in a short time.

Bubble Gum (M)
Useful effort to win a 1½m Cork listed event for Paddy Twomey last spring but not in the same form back there 10 weeks later and not seen since. Drops back significantly in trip on return for new trainer,

California Dreamer (F)
[V1]
Second in the Irish 2000 Guineas over C&D at the start of last summer. Didn't come close to reproducing that form later in 2025 but reappeared with a win in a 1m Dundalk conditions race last month. Visored first time.

Catalina Delcarpio (F)
Easy winner of 1¼m Leopardstown maiden (good to soft) last April and better form when placed in Navan listed over that trip (soft) and Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1½m, firm) subsequently. Reappears over a much shorter trip but she's a good…

Celestial Orbit (F)
Useful filly. Creditable 2½ lengths second of 18 to Moon Cloud in listed race at Saint-Cloud (1m, heavy) last November. Reappears for new yard after leaving Ollie Sangster.

She's A Nation (F)
Easy winner of a 14-runner C&D maiden (good) on debut lasty summer. Ran well for third but 10 lengths behind the reopposing Faiyum in Gowran Group (9.5f, soft) only subsequent start. Should be more to come after only 2 outings.

Spicy Margarita (F)
Fairly useful performer. 4 lengths fifth of 6 to reopposing stablemate California Dreamer in Dundalk conditions race on reappearance and likely up against it again.
