Verdict
98,000 gns yearling but sales price rose to a whopping €1,100,000 at the breeze-ups. The stable has some good 2-y-os to compare her to so market confidence would look significant. Tongue tied.

Foaled March 24. 140,000 gns Supremacy filly. Sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Supreme Diamond and half-sister to smart 6f winner Sayidah Dariyan. Quite a speedy pedigree to be starting out over 7f but it'll still be interesting to see what the betting makes of her.

Foaled April 1. 55,000 gns Churchill filly. Sister to useful winner up to 15f Hamaki, closely related to 1¼m winner Junior Rip. Dam lightly raced. The same connections' have the useful Harlequin Sky (runs in Sweet Solera) to compare this one to.

Foaled February 21. 240,000 gns Justify filly. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner) who stayed 1¼m, sister to useful winner up to 8.5f (stayed 1¼m) Grizzel. The yard's juveniles usually better for a run down the years but it has had a few first-time-out winners in 2026. Wears a hood.
