NAAS hosted Royal Ascot Trials Day last Sunday, and the most reliable recent pointer to the Royal meeting there has been the Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies Sprint Stakes, subsequent Albany Stakes winners Fairy Godmother, Porta Fortuna and Meditate emerging from the race lately.

The 2026 version looked another strong contest, the time comparing well with the Lacken Stakes that followed and the first two pulling over six lengths clear of the third. Victorious was landing a second course and distance win in little more than three weeks, the first having come despite seeming to hit several ridges en route.
