9st 0lb |
Didn't really take to hurdling but she relished the step up in trip in this code when easily winning a 13-runner handicap at the Curragh (1m4f, good) in June; she has to prove that brilliance was no one-off but it was certainly an impressive performance and she could have a part to play today. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Down Royal maiden winner last June (10.5f, good); ran well in 1m2f handicap here last October and just 1lb higher here; shaped like coming back to form when keeping on from the back over 1m2f here latest; bred to stay this far; could go well. |

Consistent last season; ended with C&D second behind today's rival Retracement on handicap debut; jumping let her down in juvenile hurdles; sharpened for return to the Flat by a handicap run at the Punchestown festival. |

10st 0lb |
Hasn't won since landing premier handicap at the Curragh in October 2024 (1m2f, good); remains 6lb above that last success but shaped as though coming back to form at the Curragh on latest and ran well at this meeting in 2023 and 2024; could go well. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 12lb |
No joy since winning over 1m2f here (good) in September 2024; didn't fire last season and no sign of a revival in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel in sole run this year; remains 3lb above last success. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |
11st 12lb |
Useful bumper and Flat winner, his last win coming in a 1m2f Curragh premier handicap in 2024; some fine efforts in defeat in strong company last year but disappointing on final start; made mistakes when disappointing on second hurdle start in 2023; the one to beat if his jumping holds up. |

9st 5lb |
3-3 on the AW but effective on turf and won easily on return from a 107 day break at Leopardstown in May (1m4f, good) off 8lb lower; had excuse when third of 13 (1.75l behind This Songisforyou) off revised mark at the Curragh latest (fly leapt from stalls); well-drawn here and in the mix once he behaves himself at the start. |
14/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Three-time AW winner added a second turf win in decisive fashion on return from 107 days off on first try over 1m4f (good) at Leopardstown last month; ridden by 7lb claimer that day so effectively 15lb higher here; will need a big career best to follow up, but unexposed at this distance and can't be discounted. |

2-12 on the Flat, both wins coming at Down Royal over 10.5f (good) and 1m5f (yielding) last season; not beaten far in the Cork Derby in May and traffic problems when a 9.5l fourth at the Curragh latest; others look better treated. |

Both wins have come at Down Royal, the most recent a fillies' handicap (1m5f, yielding) last September off 12lb lower; close fifth off this mark in Cork Derby (1m4f soft) on last Flat start; decent effort over hurdles at Punchestown 22 days ago; good ground fine and place chance back on the level. |

9st 10lb |
8yo who has been beaten 23 times since his last win in September 2024 and failed to threaten at the Curragh three weeks ago; however, prior to that this Irish raider was second at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) behind a subsequent Royal Ascot winner, and he's in the picture on that form. |

Seven-time winner, including this race off 8lb higher in 2024; no joy last season but back to form with 2.25l second behind subsequent Royal Ascot winner Opportunity in class 2 handicap at Carlisle 29 days ago (1m3f, gd-fm); big chance if building on that run. |

9st 5lb |
1m4f Roscommon maiden winner (good) shaped promisingly when a 1.5l second of 24 on handicap debut here in May (1m6f, good) off 10lb lower; not disgraced in Cork Group 3 (1m4f, good) on latest, but 6lb rise for that makes things tougher back in handicap company. |

Gained first win at the eighth attempt in a Roscommon fillies' maiden last month (1m4f, good); nice entry to handicap company at the Curragh last time when second of 24 (1m6f, good); big career best needed here all the same. |

9st 4lb |
Won off 5lb lower at the Curragh last season (1m2f, yielding); not a bad run over that C&D on seasonal return but struggled upped to 1m4f there on latest; eased 1lb, cheekpieces go on and this shorter trip more suitable so not dismissed. |

Group 3 winner ran a huge race in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, gd-fm) last October, beaten just 1.25l into second; just 1lb higher here but hasn't really fired in three runs this term and this trip looks on the sharp side. |

Smart dual-purpose performer but on losing run since November 2024; excellent second in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket last October but well below best in three runs this term and this trip looks far too sharp; others appeal more. |

No wins last season but strong form in defeat in big staying handicaps; fourth in the amateur handicap at Galway, fifth in the Irish Cesarewitch and signed off with a fine second in the Cesarewitch; recent run here was over an inadequate trip, more expected of here and seemingly McMonagle's pick. |

Shock 125-1 winner of Navan maiden last season, then placed on handicap debut at Down Royal (1m5f, yielding); caught the eye making late gains over 1m2f here (good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained); eased 2lb for that 4.75l defeat (0.75l behind Cloud Seeker) and she's an intriguing runner for her in-form stable. |

Won on handicap bow at Cork (1m4f, soft) last season off 14lb lower and then ran well in a Listed heat at Naas when a 3l second behind Carmers (1m5f, good); poor both starts this season, albeit heavy ground may not have suited on latest; could do better back on a sounder surface. |
