17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Second reserve; has a largely solid record; better than ever this season, going close at the Curragh (1m, soft to heavy) then getting up close home at Leopardstown (1m2f, yielding to soft); may ideally need testing ground back down in trip; otherwise plausibly open to further progress. |

Proved frustrating for much of last season, beaten favourite in three maidens; off the mark at Dundalk in October; just denied a first turf win in a 21-runner contest at the Curragh 12 days ago; holds a leading chance |

10st 0lb |
Ground versatile; seven-time winner (including at Group 3 and Listed level); running respectably in stakes company this term and is 2-2 in handicaps, though hasn't run in one since winning off 1lb higher at Naas in 2023; course winner interesting with rider taking off 5lb. |

9st 9lb |
Confirmed his liking for this venue when winning a Listed race here last season (Mutasarref a neck behind), his second C&D win; improving for each outing this season and should run his race but a rating of 99 leaves him with a fair amount to find with a few of these rivals. |

Won off 6lb lower here in October (1m2f, yielding); handles quicker ground and should come on for pleasing comeback run over 1m2f here (good) last month, but has to prove he stays this far. |

Won this last year off 83 and followed up at Leopardstown (1m1f, gd-fm) off 88; no joy in Bahrain in the winter; soft ground not ideal on seasonal reappearance at Leopardstown and is on last winning mark now, so can't discount. |

Won a maiden at Leopardstown last October (1m1f, heavy); beaten a nose in a 7f (soft) handicap back there on latest; raised 4lb, this is tougher and has to prove effectiveness on faster ground. |

Lightly raced filly; promising debut second in 1m Gowran maiden last year, absent for 13 months until third in 1m4f Roscommon maiden, weakened late; prominent for a long way before fading into fifth on handicap debut over 1m1f at Leopardstown. |

Three wins have been over shorter trips, including here last summer (1m1f, good); only caught late over this trip on AW over the winter so has to be considered on turf return. |

Bought by current owners after debut win at the Curragh (7f, good), the form of which is fairly solid; down the field in 1m1f Group 3 next time; market support would be reassuring. |

Ghaiyyath gelding provided the champion jumps trainer with a rare 2yo maiden win at the Curragh on debut (7f, good), Nil Bua Gan Dua fourth; that was an impressive performance and he should stay this far but there are mixed messages in his pedigree regarding the suitability of easier ground. |

No win since June 2024 at this course (7f); third to Amemri in this race last year; standout effort last term a fine second in premier fillies' handicap at Leopardstown (1m, good to yielding); best run of the season at that venue eight days ago (1m1f, soft; Spanish Temptress fourth) when a staying-on third after a slow start; player. |

Verdict
David Marnane’s 3yo JAMESTOWN ran with real credit in the Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot last time and may be able to get his first win on turf off 3lb higher. There are dangers aplenty, including Lord Massusus, Playin Cool, Harmani and Willie Mullins’ unexposed handicap debutant Thread Of Gold. [Dave Stephens]
