All three wins over 5f, including pair of Cork handicaps last summer; didn't threaten in valuable Curragh handicaps last twice, including over extended 6f last month; tongue-tie. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |
8st 13lb |
Won twice last year over 5f at Cork and also finished second to Keke here in the Rockingham, a fine effort for a horse of his age; not at his best at Dundalk on first start this year; down the field behind Genesis in the Rockingham last month. |

Won twice last year over 5f at Cork and also finished second to Keke in this race, a fine effort for a horse of his age; not at best at Dundalk on only start this year; however, potentially interesting now that he is reunited with the champion jockey who rode him to a Cork win off just one pound lower last July. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Second runner for yard; all four wins have come on AW but front-runner was second in this race last year off 2lb lower; just denied at Dundalk last time and 2lb lower on turf, so should go well. |

2nd 4 (1) |
12th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Speedy filly has an excellent strike rate over C&D (4-6) including this race last year off 2lb lower; went close behind Howd'yadoit at Navan in May but has failed to fire in three runs since; return to this track offers hope of a revival and cheekpieces are added; bold bid likely from plum draw. |

Has only won on the AW but nearly put that right in a 5f handicap at Navan last month; not suited by the rain-hit ground when well beaten in the Dash at Epsom; failed to maintain a strong gallop in a Cork Listed race in which Likedbymike and Erosandpsyche were placed. |

Admirable sort whose seven wins include twice here over 5f, notably 0.5l defeat of Collective Power in April; arrives here on the back of two good runs over 5f at the Curragh but remains vulnerable at this trip. |

8st 7lb |
Curragh winner last year (6f, good) is now 3lb lower and he almost got back to winning ways at the Curragh (6f, good) two weeks ago, beaten just 0.75l into second of 10; has gone well here before, but over 6f, so the drop back to 5f is a query and wouldn't want to see much rain. |

2nd 8 (10) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
8st 8lb |
Sole win in 25 starts came when he beat Keke over C&D last year; couple of excuses this term (raced on wrong side at Naas last time) and has inched back down to winning mark; blinkers replace visor. |
20/1 |

9th 4 (11) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 11lb |
Just one win to his name, but has been second three times in five runs here; drops in grade after contesting premier handicaps at the Curragh (excuse two runs back) this season; drawn widest which is probably a slight negative, but it's all on the day as to which side they go at Naas; only 1lb higher than his winning mark. |

Nine-time winner, including twice over C&D; no joy yet this season, going closest on latest when staying on well into second late on behind 0.5l winner Mary Shoelaces over C&D last month on ground on the quick side for him; nice turn around in the weights with that rival, with rider now claiming. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Better than ever on turf this year, notably over C&D when winning Listed (beating Likedbymike) in June and good third under top-weight in handicap following month; ground on the quick side when unable to mount a challenge in Shergar Cup Dash at Ascot earlier this month but back to favoured C&D and on easier ground seems sure to make a bold bid. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Ended 2025 with a win in a handicap in Bahrain (5f, good); he has raised his game on turf this summer, winning a Listed race at Cork (5f, good; cheekpieces first time) in June; the cheekpieces were absent when he was a fine third in a Cork handicap two weeks ago, doing best of the far-side group, and another big run seems likely. |

3rd 1 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |

His seven wins include this race in 2024; added a valuable handicap in Bahrain over the winter; bounced back to form after a break when winning a C&D Listed race last month but found Group 2 company too tough at the Curragh last weekend; this is easier despite his hefty weight. |

7f and Cork not really his bag, so not a bad effort at all when beaten less than 2l in Listed company last time; previous fourth of 20 in British-dominated Scurry handicap was creditable too, and will have every chance if he gets the right set-up. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (7) |

Has recorded six of his eight wins over 5f, including last year's Rockingham Handicap; twice successful at 6f; now attempting this trip for the first time; has run well in Listed sprints this term and won a Naas conditions event before a creditable fourth of 20 in the Scurry Handicap at the Curragh. |

Cost E2.2m as a yearling; beaten favourite in a 6f York novice on sole start a year ago; now has something to build on following a workmanlike display to win a 5f maiden at Navan in May; bare form is questionable but the extra furlong should help. |
