11th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 144y |
11st 5lb |
Sole win in 24 starts (including jumps_ came in a heavy-ground 1m3f maiden at Killarney in 2023; placed over hurdles before a fair fifth on the Flat at the Curragh on his penultimate start; remote tenth at Tipperary 11 days ago. |

9st 0lb |
Sole win in 22 starts came in a heavy-ground 1m3f maiden in 2023; placed in a maiden hurdle 12 days ago but that's modest form and hadn't threatened in his previous Flat handicaps before that. |

Was 2nd in a charity race over C&D in June; poor last time but not out of this if rebounding. |

Bumper, hurdles and Flat winner on good and soft ground; soundly beaten in one of these races at Bellewstown on latest; rated 78 and a fair bit to find on the figures here; cheekpieces go on. |

20th Oct 2024 Good 2m 0f 70y |
11st 7lb |
Dual-purpose bumper winner for Willie Mullins; 0-4 over hurdles and shaped well when a 9l second in a maiden hurdle at Listowel last month on her third run for current yard; well-beaten on the Flat in sole run since but return to this sphere is a plus; sets the standard with a rating of 104 and should be in the mix. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Largely consistent hurdler, latest win came at Limerick (16.5f, good) in handicap off 102, bolted up by 15l; couldn't land a blow off 12lb higher lto; plenty on plate on chase debut; cheekpieces tried. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Series of placed efforts (including twice here) rewarded by 2m1f Limerick win early last month under enterprising ride, kept wide and making all in beating Dairy Force an eased 15l (good); 12lb hike makes this a lot tougher and unlikely to be given such leeway this time. |

22nd Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who has achieved little in 1m classified races at this course for new yard; this drop in distance needs to make a difference. |
40/1 |

9th 6 (3) |
7th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Only poor form shown to date and he pulled too hard in a first-time tongue tie when last of nine over C&D six days ago; he's hard to make a case for. |
33/1 |

9th 6 (8) |
1st Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed no significant promise in Ireland last year (four runs) but made fairly encouraging stable debut when sixth over C&D behind Ledger last week (first-time cheekpieces), having persistently been denied a clear run; tongue-tie added today; further progress possible. |

Dual-purpose sort has been soundly beaten on his last three hurdle runs and needs a return to his best. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 11lb |
Dual-purpose; 3-11 over hurdles; solid Flat run at Navan (1m6f, heavy) after 156-day absence in March but has failed to fire in two handicap hurdles since; remains 9lb above last winning mark; may need respite from the handicapper. |

Four-race maiden got this trip well in Apprentice Derby at the Curragh in late June when staying-on fourth behind some more experienced rivals; blinkers replace cheekpieces worn last time; still scope for improvement. |

27th Aug 2023 Good 1m 2f 110y |

Three early season maiden efforts modest enough and opening mark seems on the high side; gelded and tried in a tongue tie here. |

12th 12 (13) |
27th May 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y |

Some promise at Dundalk on debut but tailed off at Leopardstown earlier this month; drop in trip on quicker ground may help but has a fair bit to find. |
50/1 |
Verdict
Eastmore will be popular after going close last time but at a likely bigger price, it may be worth taking a chance on THE MEDIATOR. Gordon Elliott’s six-year-old should relish this stamina test and if he finds any improvement for the switch to the Flat, he should be firmly in the mix. [Phill Anderson]
