Epsom Oaks winner Thundering On is the standout entry and odds-on favourite, with Joseph O'Brien targeting another win before a possible Oaks double. Key rivals include Estrange, Red Letter, and Venetian Lace, adding depth to the field. The event promises strong competition, with several proven Group performers in contention.

2026 Pretty Polly Stakes Entries


Given its timing between the two Classics, it's been a while since we saw an Epsom Oaks winner line up in the Pretty Polly. That seems like to change on Saturday, as Joseph O'Brien seems keen to run Thundering On - three weeks after her Classic triumph at Epsom - before returning to the Curragh to try and complete the Oaks double next month.

David O'Meara's grey Estrange returned to action with an easy win at Carlisle last month, and she sits closest to Thundering On in the market. Red Letter did Ger Lyons proud with a fine effort behind See The Fire in the Middleton Stakes at York. She also sits prominently in the market, along with Paddy Twomey's Group Three winner, One Look.

Aidan O'Brien only holds two entries, and seems likely to be represented by Epsom Oaks third Sugar Island. Joseph O'Brien could be further represented by Munster Oaks runner-up Nyra, and Hedge Of Oak Stakes third Wemightakedlongway.

Charlie Johnston has entered Venetian Lace, having watched his filly struggle on unsuitably soft ground in the Oaks. Ed Walker's Qilin Queen could add to the raiding party. Other potential runners include Kensington Lane, Beautify and Carolina Jetstream.
