Course winner over hurdles and rated 98 in that sphere; beaten 37l on sole start over fences at Thurles last November but that was a much stronger race than this; had a pipe-opener over hurdles here last month and not dismissed back over fences. |

Promise in all four maiden runs in 2022 for Joseph O'Brien at 1m-1m4f at Dundalk and at the Curragh; off 657 days and ran poorly on sole start for current yard at Galway last August; now returns from another absence and can only be watched on handicap debut. |

11st 12lb |
AW Flat handicap winner in Britain over 1m6f; light campaign for this yard, touched off at Leopardstown and beaten favourite in successive years in Ascot Stakes, this year too keen and dropping right away; solid enough effort on hurdles debut last month when beaten 0.5l in 2m1f Killarney maiden, having raced prominently; slightly longer trip here should suit and major chance. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |

AW Flat handicap winner in Britain over 1m6f; ran three times for this stable, second at Leopardstown off 92 before luckless run in Ascot Stakes; returned after 12 months off in same race last time and ran too bad to be true; very useful staying handicapper and fascinating recruit to hurdling for top jumps stable; should stay well. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Dam is Ascot Gold Cup winner Estimate; inconsistent for Sir Michael Stoute in 2024; beaten on the nod at Leopardstown (1m4f) last May on debut for new yard, after which he was all the rage for this race but it was a nightmare for favourite backers, as he was shuffled back (from stall 1) and towards the rear entering straight before running on nicely until denied any room again in the last half furlong; absent since but same mark today and he is surely capable of significantly better; granted better luck, he should have a big shout. |

An 80-rated Flat winner ran fine races in his first three hurdle attempts last autumn but was poor in a hood at this track when last seen; however, has a chance if restored to best on return; first-string for a yard that had a Punchestown winner. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 194y |
9st 9lb |
Perhaps a better horse on the AW but has been running fairly well in turf handicaps this year and returning to further will be no hardship; has bypassed some engagements on account of soft surfaces which would be worry if the rain has got into the ground. |
8/1 |

7th 3 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 9lb |
Solid AW strike rate of 4-8 including back-to-back wins here in the winter over this trip and 1m4f; is 5lb higher than when scoring over C&D in December and running okay on turf in recent starts; could go well back on his favourite surface. |

Four wins at Dundalk, but winless on the grass; Curragh second suggested he might put that right, but laboured enough effort when favourite at Navan; looks held by Letiza on that running. |

Four-time winner for Andrew Slattery with last win coming in 2023; went close at Galway in August (1m4f, yielding) when Thatwilldoso won; posted another decent effort at Roscommon last time when third, behind Clear Quartz and Granite Bay; can go well again. |

Has won five races up to 1m1f from 34 Flat starts; fine runs in defeat in premier handicaps at Leopardstown and Galway over the summer but was a bit below that level in the Cambridgeshire here last time; can be keen so needs to settle better. |
