Sole win on turf in the 2023 Norfolk Stakes; has won five conditions races at Dundalk since, the most recent over 5f in February; has struggled since then, most recently last Sunday at Naas; out of his depth here. |

Progressed well last year over 7f, winning twice; resumed progress on return in March when defying top-weight at Dundalk off 84; cheekpieces worn when well beaten behind some of these rivals at the Curragh (6f, good) have been abandoned. |

Dual AW winner; highlight of British form when second to Big Evs in a Listed race at York in May 2024; rated 99 at his peak. gained his first turf success off 72 when making all in a 20-runner contest over an extended 6f at the Curragh on Wednesday; has a fixed 7lb penalty; an additional 2lb claimed this time; this stiff 5f should be fine for him. |

Dual AW winner is 0-5 on turf for current trainer this year, not beaten too far on penultimate; handicapper giving him every chance and new headgear combination tried. |

9st 0lb |
One of three for yard; five-time winner, the most recent over C&D (yielding) in October 2024 off 4lb higher; shaped as though in need of the run last time at the Curragh and should be much sharper now; interesting. |
20/1 |

One of three for yard; five-time winner including three 6f victories at this venue; on losing run since winning at Naas in October 2024 (6f, yielding); no joy last season but did run well in defeat at times and returns 3lb below his last winning mark; record fresh suggests he might need this. |

Front-runner won 7f Leopardstown maiden at two and respectable effort on comeback in 3yo handicap at the Curragh, weakening late over 7f; down in grade and good apprentice on board. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Ended last season with a maiden win at Leopardstown; opening handicap mark seems fair; however, he is not guaranteed to uphold Leopardstown form with Zenford who was making his debut then and has run twice this season. |

8st 7lb |
Nine-time turf winner, including a Group 3 and Listed contests, was once rated 108 so has dropped a long way; positive third at Naas in April (6f, good); put a line through his latest Curragh run where he got no run; 3lb wrong but not ruled out. |

Rated 108 in his prime so has dropped a long way, but won Scurry Handicap (beating Fort Vega and Back Down Under) here last summer and last month's Naas third (three of today's rivals behind) was a good effort; can't rule out. |

Seven wins abroad; rated 113 at his peak but nothing since 2023; may come forward from seasonal return at Leopardstown (7f, soft) when fifth of ten, but he remains risky. |

4th Jun 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 20y |

Seven wins in Britain; runner-up for Hugo Palmer in 2022 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; regressive since 2023; improved from a moderate stable debut last September when close fourth in a 7f rated at Dundalk in November; last of ten at the same venue in December; rated 113 at his peak, now down to 79 but remains risky. |

Sole win in June 2023; in good form on the AW off this mark recently, beaten less than 1l the last twice; best turf form on fast ground and on a dangerous mark based on a 2l second at Windsor off 7lb higher last June; could go well. |

7f winner at two and fair fifth in Listed contest over C&D; hasn't settled over 7f in both runs this term and has faded; drop back in trip a good move and will have more to offer if they can get him to race on an even keel. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Much stronger record on AW (5-30, placed nine times) as opposed to turf (1-23, placed four times); despite that, his run at Navan over 6f last time was one of his better efforts (6f, good); chance if building on that. |

Dundalk maiden win came at this trip over the winter, later third to Sovereign Cry in conditions event at same track; soft ground may not have suited on last month's return when last of eight behind stablemate Allsortz on handicap debut at Cork; hard to see him reversing Cork form with several of these. |

Two 5f wins last year, off 63 at Newmarket (good) in August and off 67 on her final start at the Curragh (yielding) for this rider; career high mark now and record fresh suggests she'll need this run after a 212-day absence. |

Won a 5f Tipperary maiden on debut last year, beating a subsequent Listed winner; didn't really go on from that after a break in 2025; best run this term came over 5f at Cork last time; needs to show he is as good over this trip. |
