Kensington Lane is out of Almost Always (Galileo), who did not race and is a half-sister to the Group 1-placed Flying Cross (Sadler's Wells). Kensington Lane is one of four winners and the first black-type performer from five runners for her dam. Her half-brother One Horse Town (Threat) won the Grade 2 Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle.

Second damRamruma

Second dam Ramruma (Diesis) was a multiple Group 1 winner, taking the Gr.1 Oaks, the Gr.1 Irish Oaks and the Gr.1 Yorkshire Oaks, and was named champion 3-year-old filly in Europe. She has four winners, among them Flying Cross, a dual winner who was third in the Gr.1 Irish St Leger, and is the grandam of Freddy Flintshire (Flintshire), a Grade 1 winner over hurdles in the US. Ramruma is a full sister to Royal Scimitar, winner of the Listed Chester Stakes, and to Ausherra.

Third damPrincess of Man

Third dam Princess of Man (Green God) took the Gr.3 Musidora Stakes and has 10 winners, Ramruma among them, as well as the multiple Group-placed Ausherra, who won the Listed Lingfield Oaks Trial and was second in the Gr.3 Prestige Stakes. At stud Ausherra became the dam of the sire Strategic Prince (Dansili), a multiple Group winner who won the Gr.2 July Stakes and was Group 1-placed in England, third in the Gr.1 Dewhurst Stakes, and founded a branch that later produced Montefilia, a multiple Group 1 winner in Australia.

Next generation

Almost Always has a 2-year-old filly by Wootton Bassett and a yearling colt by No Nay Never, and she returned to Wootton Bassett in 2025.
