9st 11lb |
Former winner of the Group 1 Flying Five but isn't at that level anymore; two respectable runs behind Mission Central at Naas over 5f this term; needs to do better but any easing of the ground will help. |

9st 9lb |
Former Flying Five winner reached a peak rating of 114 before losing his form in the latter half of 2024; missed all of last season; return in a C&D Listed contest last time was not totally devoid of promise when 4.75l behind Mission Central; may build on that. |

Former Flying Five winner landed this race in 2023 and 2024; lost form in the second half of 2024 and missed all of last season; entitled to need this run after such a long layoff. |

Nine-time turf winner, including a 6f Group 3 at this venue in 2023, Listed contests and this event 12 months ago; was once rated 108, so has dropped a long way; inconsistent this year; good run when second here last time, 3lb wrong |

10st 0lb |
9yo whose last win was in September 2023 and it's possible that he'll need this first outing since February; however, he won this in 2021 and showed spark when twice finishing second in Bahrain this January (6f, good/good to firm); not ruled out. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
A tremendous campaigner over the years with two Stewards' Cups to his name; in and out this season and only twelfth in the Ayr Gold Cup three weeks ago, but he has clear possibilities on his fast-finishing second to stablemate Northern Ticker over C&D in August; 1lb lower today. |
16/1 |

8 (16) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Two years since his last win but this dual Stewards' Cup winner is more realistically treated these days and he gave his younger stablemate Northern Ticker a race at York last month; not so good at Doncaster last week and he will do well to win this race in his fourth attempt (seventh in 2021, runner-up in 2022 and sixth last year). |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Back on song when convincing winner of a 6f Listed event at Naas (yielding) last October; unable to get involved in two runs at that level in 2026 but he was badly checked back at Naas in April and in better form than the 5l defeat suggests; however, he has more to prove back on this track with good to firm ground quicker than ideal; regular cheekpieces are discarded. |

27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Five-time winner best with a bit of cut in the ground; sole win last season came in a Listed heat at this venue (6f, yielding); may have needed his comeback at Cork and likes it here, but would probably like to see some rain. |
25/1 |

Just five runs last year but won a Listed race at Naas over this trip in October before a disappointing run in France, even allowing for a less than smooth passage; can run well if back to his best. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Entering legendary course specialist status after adding a tenth win at the venue in a Listed race last time (6f, good); prior to that he won a C&D Listed contest in March (soft to heavy) when seeing off East Hampton by 1.5l; got closest to subsequent Group 1 winner Comanche Brave when a 2l second in a 6f Group 2 here on penultimate (good); always a danger around here and should go well again. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Gallant grey veteran is an eight-time course winner and no signs of slowing down this season; won Listed race here in March (7f, sft-hvy) and another cracking run when runner up in the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes here in May (6f, good, Fregada 2.5l behind); goes on any ground, was fourth in this last year and another big run likely on the cards here. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |

Splendid veteran showed he retained enthusiasm when winning the 7f Gladness Stakes in March, his ninth Curragh win on his 50th visit; found 5f too sharp at Naas last time; runs in this event for the fourth consecutive year, second at 25-1 in 2023, ninth in 2024, third behind James Delight at 33-1 last season; asking a lot now in a strong edition. |

9st 13lb |
Beat course specialist Big Gossey when winning the Bold Lad Handicap here last September; no luck in running in two handicaps this term; won a Fairyhouse conditions race for the third time in four years before a fine second to Big Gossey in a Listed race here last time, a whisker in front of Bodhi Bear. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Beat Big Gossey by 0.5l when winning the Bold Lad Handicap here last September but was in receipt of 10lbs; slow start to this season but back on song in Fairyhouse median auction race latest, winning it for the third time; unlucky in running when down the field in this last season; will like this ground. |

Won the first two renewals of this race in 2023 and 2024 and was runner up behind the talented King Cuan last year; won the Bold Lad (6f, yielding) last September and was then runner up in listed company at Naas; below best in two handicap starts this term but could bounce back. |

Thereabouts in 6f Group races in France and Ireland last summer, including on good to firm, and has shed a few pounds with his mark since; hampered on last two AW starts and not discounted back on turf in first-time cheekpieces for yard that won this with 22-1 shot Saint Lawrence (also runs today) in 2023. |

Two 7f wins last spring, including Listed; made a promising seasonal/handicap debut when third at Lingfield in February (6f) but he was disappointing over C&D last month, awkward leaving the stalls but unable to make up any ground in the straight; dropped another 2lb; more appealing over further. |
