13th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y |
11st 0lb |
Useful dual-purpose type; on a long losing sequence; good form in staying races on the Flat in Britain last season, second in the Queen Alexandra and in the John Smith's Silver Cup; had a run on the Flat before a respectable hurdles run at Down Royal in August, disappointing in Galway conditions event in which Buddy One was third. |

3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 60y |
11st 2lb |
Battle-hardened dual-purpose horse, but a strong stayer whose close second at Down Royal in August came over 3m; looks vulnerable back at this trip. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 129y |
11st 0lb |
Classy on the Flat (rated 101) and this three time hurdles winner ran a fine race on his second start back from a long layoff when a 0.75l second to the 140 rated Reverend Hubert at Killarney when in receipt of 10lbs; a bit to find on the figures here with a rating of 131 but rider's claim helps; place chance. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 145y |
10st 6lb |
Veteran, 6-22 Flat, 2-16 hurdles; no win of any description since 2023; up against it on the evidence of his recent reappearance in a handicap at Navan. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 |
19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 165y |
11st 1lb |
Veteran is 2-15 over hurdles; hasn't won a race of any description since 2023 and was out of form last year in both codes; on the upside, he returns from a break with yard amongst winners and has gone well fresh in the past. |
25/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 190y |
10st 13lb |
Dual-purpose veteran has won 11 of his 39 starts under Rules but he's shown virtually nothing since a Listed Chester win on the Flat in September 2023; needs a revival. |

17th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 5f 70y |
11st 0lb |
Good stayer on the Flat (rated 107 at his peak) and running well in the spring before his form tailed off; successful hurdles/stable debut at Navan (2m, good; third and fifth won since) four weeks ago, strongly pressed inside final furlong but finding for pressure; can only improve stepping up in trip; the one to beat. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 165y |
11st 12lb |
Good stayer on the Flat (rated 107 at his peak) and was running well in the spring before his form tailed off; not long with this yard and it all depends on how he takes to jumping hurdles. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Well-beaten second to Leinster in weaker four-runner renewal of this last year, and no match for Carmers at Down Royal in May; on a long losing sequence and will be a big price; usually leads. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Fine third from the front in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) on his first start for Richard Hughes; proved way too headstrong to give himself a chance of lasting home in the Copper Horse at Royal Ascot next time but ridden with restraint and saw things out a lot better when fourth of seven in 2m Newbury handicap (good to firm) since; has a bit to find on the figures back at Listed level. |
20/1 |

4th 1 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Only 1-10 for Dermot Weld but was highly tried on occasions; made most from wide draw in major handicaps on both starts for Richard Hughes, reeled in late on when third in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) but backpedalling before the home straight at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm); big shout if he reverts to the Chester performance. |
16/1 |

15th 13 (17) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Only 1-10 for Dermot Weld but was highly tried on occasions; made his debut for Richard Hughes in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) and, having broken well from his wide draw, he put up a bold show from the front only to be reeled in late in the day; a 2lb nudge is easy to stomach and dropping back to 1m6f could work given the cruising speed he showed at Chester. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Beat Factual Fact in a 1m6f handicap at the Curragh in June (yielding); not as effective over 2m at the same venue later that month; big price when down the field in the Ebor. |
33/1 |
|
17th 12 (22) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Registered his highest rating in 1m6f Listed race on soft ground last April (his only time front-running); always prominent when strong finish took him to a handicap win at the Curragh (1m6f, yielding) this term and, although he wasn't discredited over 2m later in June, this trip on softer than good may well be the best fit; wears headgear for the first time. |
20/1 |

7th 1 (10) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
10st 2lb |
Stayed on well to gain third career success off 8lb lower here on latest (1m6f, yielding); both previous runs at around this trip have not been his best so could be vulnerable upped in distance on quicker ground off career high mark. |

9st 11lb |
Second runner for yard; hurdle winner also ran three times over fences without success but was an improved mare once kept to the Flat last year; won three times including a Group 3 and was second in Melbourne Cup; got back to her best when winning a Goodwood Group 2 last time; however, this trip is on sharp side and she is penalised 5lb. |
10/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
5l third to Waardah in this last year, before career best when second in the Melbourne Cup (2m); back to best European form when second in Group 3 at Fairyhouse (1m6f, good; unraced on firmer) this month but will probably have to settle for a place here if others show their best. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 200y |
9st 9lb |
Last year's winner who went on to post a career-best when second of 24 in Group 1 Melbourne Cup (2m, good-to-soft); last month's Limerick comeback run well below her best but entitled to come on for that and major chance on ratings. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Bought for 330,000gns after winning two of six races for Ralph Beckett (including on soft); comfortably won 1m4f Roscommon Listed last summer and on seasonal return chased home a subsequent Group 3 winner in 2m Down Royal Listed in May; absence since a slight concern but presumably she has an autumn campaign in mind and demands plenty of respect. |

Bought for 330,000gns after winning two of her six races for Ralph Beckett; comfortably saw off Cristal Clere in a 1m4f Listed race at Roscommon last summer before holding her own in a Group 3; unraced beyond 1m4f but good chance that she'll stay and returns with yard having winners. |

Maiden and handicap winner on good ground this year and also placed in a Fairyhouse Group 3 (1m6f, good) in July; hampered when a 4.25l third behind Fleur De Chine in the Listed Bluebell Stakes at Naas on latest; this ground may not be ideal. |
