Jancis
JANCIS returned with a career best when scoring decisively in the Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket and she is taken to provide her trainer with a fourth victory in this Group 2 contest. The lightly-raced 5-y-o gets the vote ahead of City of Memphis, who remains with potential after only the 4 starts, while One Look helps to give Paddy Twomey a strong hand in the race.

Lightly raced for her age and after 6 months off she showed much improved form when landing the Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket (9f) 3 weeks ago. Wasn't seen to best effect when fifth in this race last year, but she's a major player this time around.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (rowley)1m 1fGood to FirmFlat1/10Dundalk1mStandardFlat2/14Leopardstown1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat6/6Ascot7f 213yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/9Curragh1m 2fGoodFlat5/7- 4(5)City Of MemphisJ: William James LeeT: P.

Has quickly made up into a useful filly, her only defeat in 4 starts coming in the Irish 1000 Guineas on her second outing. Scored with a bit to spare in Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f) 2 weeks ago and she's not taken lightly back up in grade.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeopardstown7fGoodFlat1/10Gowran Park7fSoft (Yielding in places)Flat1/5Curragh1mGoodFlat5/12Cork6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/10- 8(10)One LookJ: James DoyleT: P.

Won a pair of Group 3s here last season and went on to finish a close third in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp. Raced too keenly upped to 1½m at Ascot on Champions Day, but she was runner-up in this race last year and could bounce back given her excellent record fresh.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot1m 3f 211yGoodFlat9/10Longchamp1m 1f 207yVery softFlat3/12Curragh1m 2fGood to Yielding (yielding in places)Flat2/11Curragh1m 2fGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Flat1/10Ascot7f 213yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat6/7- 3(12)Celestial OrbitJ: D.

Useful form without winning for Ollie Sangster in 2025, but proved better than ever making seasonal/stable debut when landing Park Express Stakes over this C&D (heavy) in April by ½ length from Princess Child.

Successful at Newcastle 3 of her last 4 starts, returning from a break with a straightforward success in a valuable handicap on Good Friday.

Impressive winner of a 1m Gowran handicap on return and confirmed that good impression when following up in listed race at the same course (9.5f) 19 days ago.

Bounced back to best when winning listed race at Newmarket in September, her second victory at that level. Looked rusty on return when 10½ lengths fourth of 10 to Jancis in Dahlia Stakes at the same course (9f) 3 weeks ago, though has something to find in this contest.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (rowley)1m 1fGood to FirmFlat4/10Newmarket (rowley)1mGood to FirmFlat1/12Pontefract1m 6yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat6/10Ascot1mGood to FirmFlat5/23Haydock Park1m 2f 100yGoodFlat5/7- 6(4)Hey BooJ: George BassT: Jack Channon112892-Age 420/120/118/1

Successful at Chelmsford first 2 starts before runner-up in the Fred Darling at Newbury. Little impact next 2 outings, but dropped to listed level she got back on the up when ¾-length second to Francophone at Newmarket in September.

Useful performer in Germany for Andreas Suborics, finishing third at Group 3 and Group 2 level last year. Having changed hands for €125,000, shaped as if better for the outing in 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown on stable debut 2 weeks ago.

Best effort when second in Irish 1000 Guineas, but got back on track when winning minor event at Dundalk on return.

Back-to-back winner last summer, including a Tipperary Group 3.
