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. |

9st 10lb |
Four-time stakes winner in his prime; nine wins in all; operating at a modest level now; on a long losing sequence since winning over the extended 6f here last season; C&D fourth behind today's rival Nouvel Espoir on penultimate start; down the field here last week. |

Second runner for yard; back on track with a fine fourth over C&D 11 days ago when not far behind Nouvel Espoir and Smoke Them Out; weighted to turn that form around now, rain not a concern and he's 12lb below his last win; chance. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Not the force of old but a fire still burns and his third at Ripon in August came off 4lb higher; shouldn't be judged harshly on latest Ayr run and no surprise to see him bounce back with a big effort. |
14/1 |
|
16th 6 (22) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Heroic sprinter down the years, winning the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood in 2021 (soft) and 2022, and runner-up in the Gold Cup as a 5yo; harder to place now but was checked in his run at York in July and was a creditable third at Ripon after; not so good in a small field at Thirsk since but this type of race suits him better; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
33/1 |

8th 5 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
His last success was three years ago, but he was a Group 3 winner in his prime and he ran well to finish third off this reduced mark at Ripon (6f, good) last month; could be dangerous if he can back that up and two of his wins have come over C&D. |

Listed winner last season for Jack Davison; below best in light campaign this term until more encouraging effort on yard debut eight days ago in this headgear combination, staying on into third (well behind front two) over 5f at Navan; more needed here in a much deeper race. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner; very useful on his day and has won at Group 3 and Listed level; below best in three runs this term and sold for 35,000gns last month; tongue tie goes on for stable debut and on a dangerous mark if that sparks a revival. |
16/1 |

23th 20 (15) |
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. |

Curragh specialist, bringing tally of course wins to ten with Listed victories at 7f and 6f this year; also finished a fine second to Power Blue in a 7f Group 2 event and similar RPR when second in last week's Group 3 Renaissance Stakes (6f, heavy); has to concede weight but greatly respected. |

Magnificent course specialist; has brought his tally of course wins to ten with Listed victories at 7f and 6f this year; also finished a fine second to Power Blue in a 7f Group 2 event; should be back in his comfort zone now after running in the Flying Five. |

Former Listed winner who exploited a career-low mark with a comfortable win at Redcar last Friday (6f, good) for which he carries a penalty; the return of this headgear combination did him no harm. |

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. |
