9st 4lb |
AW winner got off the mark on turf at the Curragh (1m2f, gd-fm) on latest 34 days ago; rider was taking off 7lb that day so with a 9lb rise, he's effectively 16lb higher here; however, this longer trip could unlock further improvement so not written off. |

Won over the extended version of this trip at Dundalk last November on stable debut; second over 1m at the same venue on final start last year; resumed with another 1m second at Leopardstown; not beaten far in a 20-runner contest here last time, definite chance on overall form; cheekpieces fitted. |

10st 0lb |
Three hurdle wins and six seconds, including a pleasing effort behind Murcia at Listowel in May; has run twice on the Flat since then, went close in a handicap at Ballinrobe, out of the money behind Tounsivator at Fairyhouse. |

10st 2lb |
Talented dual-purpose performer is only 1-8 on the Flat but brought her mark to a career-high at Ballinrobe last month when just denied close home in fillies' handicap over 1m5f; quick ground a slight concern, big player if handling it. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
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 10lb |
No win since 2023; big chance off this mark on best runs over 1m6f/1m4f last season and though well beaten in both runs this term, they were over an inadequate trip; this distance much more suitable and Colin Keane takes over; interesting. |

Third in the 2024 Dante and generally kept good company on the Flat in Britain; started brightly in Ireland last spring; has become disappointing; plenty to prove at this stage. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
In fine fettle this season, winning at Navan (1m2f, gd-yld) off 65 and on latest at Gowran off 78 (1m4f, yielding); hiked up another 9lb and moves up in grade now; unproven on properly fast ground, but this well-bred sort should go well if he acts on it. |

In fine form this season; third on seasonal return at Bellewstown (11.5f, soft); won by 5.5l at Navan (1m2f, gd-yld); hiked up 12lb but again ran well when a 2.75l runner up at Roscommon latest (1m4f, yielding) when not getting the clearest of runs; in the mix again off 1lb higher. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
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. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 3lb |
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. |

8st 13lb |
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 7lb |
Dual-purpose mare arrives in top form after back-to-back wins over C&D (yielding) and Tramore (1m4f, good) in lower grades; has gone up a total of 13lb but the form of her latest win has since been franked by the runner-up so there could yet be more to come; top rider booked. |

Gained second turf win on latest at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yielding) under 5lb claimer; raised 7lb for that 3l success so effectively 12lb higher here with Keane taking over but clearly in good fettle and should run well again dropped slightly in trip (has won over 1m4f on good). |

9st 6lb |
Maiden winner; below par first two runs this term (including when well held behind Londonofficallin in Cork Derby); step in the right direction when 3l third behind Daboya at Tramore latest in first-time tongue tie (retained); mark unchanged and place claims if backing that up. |
